Remove Sniper Glint

[Lone]

This is basically what ruins every Game for Sniper Lovers. It is a stupid way trying to balance Snipers. It just exposes any Sniper anywhere on the map and makes any good positioning useless. The only way to play Sniper is to put medium Range scopes on them which isn´t what a Sniper is supposed to be.

I hear dumbass arguments from Sniper Haters all the time that you have to play around the Glint when in reality it should be them playing around a Sniper that you have to locate by sound or likely position. Not that it is hard to see anyone in this Game...

Arma 3 King of the Hill works just fine and it is way waaaaay harder to find a Sniper, also they all One-Shot you.

Stop listening to people that don´t even play Sniper and just want those easy kills.

Fun fact: Sniper Scopes irl can have a glint due to sunlight hitting it, revealing the snipers position. There's a Finnish sniper back in WW2, nicknamed "The White Death, he used only the iron sights on his rifle to keep a smaller profile and so it didn't reflect light off it.

I've been enjoying Recon the most as I've played, and having glint is the best way to help counter snipers. I agree with some others that it should be toned down a bit. I've hit shots where I see the glint through smoke or through foliage, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Explain the glint on nightmaps

It's called balance for a video game.
Go play arma 3 for the real ♥♥♥♥

Use binoculars (no glint) to find enemy. Then quick scope with sniper. That's how you snipe

I dont beleive there is glint on night maps. But you can't use scopes while using your Night vision goggles.

They don't need to remove sniper glint, It just needs to stop being visible from such a large arc, and through objects.

Folks just shoot the ♥♥♥♥ out of the glint through trees right now which is a bit absurd.
Otherwise, don't scope in constantly, and its not too bad.

It is called "Noobs can´t deal with Snipers and need permanent Markers on them because they can´t Git Gud" buttercup, deal with it. ;)

You're right, because we're busy doing objectives and firefights against people right next to us.. just for some boring kid on a hill to get free shots at people with no effort.

Thanks for feeding me m8.




Wow, you really got me there. How do I respond to such a powerful argument? You could give Ben Shapiro a run for his money...

projection

i like scope glint because it is a balanced feature in a game of this type and construction

im not going to waste time arguing with you but i felt the need to point out that you are quite literally telling other people what they think and feel, and not only that, you're wrong about it.

Cool, but you are wasting your time saying I am projecting then claim that I am wrong about it which necessarily means that you know what they think and feel to make that statement. Fail. If they would not hate it then they would make reasonable arguments instead of attacking me.
So, come down from that high horse.

And I feel the need to tell you that it is not balanced if people don´t want to use Long Range Scopes at all which makes it rather unbalanced.

As intended, thank you. I grant the same respect that is given to me.

INB4 "skill issue"

snipers have already gotten wise of the fact that mid range scopes have no glint, so we can barely tell where they're shooting from anymore

and let me tell you its absolute hell for anyone not playing snipers. looking for tracers or muzzle flashes do nothing cause you gotta put yourself in danger to even see where it comes from, and even if they do take the bait, they might still kill you or strip you completely of your HP

idc what anyone says, snipers are becoming a problem in this game. almost as big of a problem as the kriss vector

[masterninjah]

i bet you just lay prone on a hill staring down your scope. learn how to snipe and it wont be a problem, if anything it helps you find more people to snipe. stand and strafe until you see someone or someone shoots at you then scope in and kill them as fast as possible. nobody pays attention to someone scoping in for short periods of time

[DreadPirateFury]

It's so conflicting for me. On the one hand, I get why it's there, it might even need to be there. On the other hand, I'm able to shoot at a sniper 1000 meters away with a red-dot P90 in semi auto and get hit markers, that's just silly.

nobody likes randomly dying to a sniper 1000m away hiding in a bush with a 40x scope

even if you do get shot, it’s unlikely you’ll ever find the sniper and thus everyone’s gonna camp in the outskirts of the map

some maps like sandysunset and isle have some crazy long sight lines that would be even more horrific to play if you couldn’t hide from sniper glint

It's funny how the sniper community in this game is. We have players that want the snipers to be the one-shot man from 1000+ meters while being practically invisible, and others (me included) that find sniping too easy. You just need the rangefinder + x32 medium scope without glint to become a sniper-killer phantom.
I love to kill snipers from 1000-1200+ meters in the bigger maps with that setup so I can read short after they call me a cheater in the chat. It warms my heart and makes my day better. :D
The only thing I think that needs to change is HSs coming from sniper rifles should be IK. Armor is cringe.
