No Ghillies in bf3

[triggerhippy]

Flash suppressors 1 - 0 Ghillie suits
Laying prone 1 - 1 Glint from scope whenever sniper uses rifle

Do you want prone in the game?

I am not so sure.

Personally no as it encourages camping but in my experience DICE favour the sniper class.

You just know annoying american kids will kit up with flash suppressor and silenced rifle and find a place to hide for the entire match.
Can't stand people who do this as BF is team game and they contribute nothing to the team.

I always think it's the job of the level designer to outwit campers, not the player.

COD was really good at eliminating this I thought.

I dont even want the Sniper class in the game let alone "prone"! A bunch of cowards who contribute virtually nothing to the game in my opinion. My clan never use them and we pretty much always get the Gold squad pin but we do always delight in seeking the campers out and slitting their throats!

Well placed recon can be used as a good spawn point

[Sooper]

You can do that with any class if you are good and know the maps well! I really do think its the weakest of all the classes and games are easily won without them, i couldt say that for Assault, Medics and Engineers though. Ban Snipers and UAV's, bunch of chickens!!

[Mattk]

Thats the thing tho isn't it? People play them as snipers but the class is recon but precious little recon goes on!
You do get the guys who get involved with the faster shooting guns. When I have played as that class I run in with the team and throw out the motion mines to light everyone up.

we use it effectively up close but rarely with a sniper scope, with the g3 or shotgun, the mortors are ideal for flattening a building on rush or a tank on conquest.

The main success in BFBC2 was no 'proning' you either crouched or stood. It made the gameplay move along nicely. You still had snipers but they had to be good because once spotted they couldn't prone and hide away.

In my opinion they've made a mistake in bringing back 'proning' and this is my only doubt about the game. I've had to change my gameplay and use the occasional prone to look around and allow my team to spawn on me.

Basically, I'm a run and gun player.

Glint from 'scope' on sniper rifle? I did notice a lot of snipers had a flash light attachment switched on, made me laugh!!
