I don't like it. The series took a nosedive in quality with the release of Battlefield 3. My biggest problems with it are the floaty and inaccurate weapons, and the lighting and effects make it very difficult to see enemies. Also the map design is poor in comparison to the Bad Company games.
-Assuming PC-

Turn the lighting off.
Yeah but even with the lighting turned right down it is still next to impossible to see enemies. They just blend into the textures far too much. That combined with the inability to properly aim and control your gun makes it very frustrating. They should have just kept the gun handling from the Bad Company games.
True.

I have a particularly hatred of the bullshitty sight sway on any fuckintg scoped rifle unless you have a bipod, even firing from prone it's terrible.
Yep sight-sway is bullshit. They've taken the push for realism too far to the point where it actively harms the game and takes away the fun. In fact that is my main issue with Battlefield 3 and 4 in general.
On console there is no sight sway in BC2 and I was a bloody good sniper cuz you could take your time and be accurate rather than HOLDYOURBREATHANDSHOOTNOW.

Loathe and detest it.
I was the Sniper God in BC2 lol. They had it perfect in that game. You had all the time in the world to line up your shot and the bullet drop was very easy to account for.
Man I lashed the PS3 on for it a few months back with an old friend I used to play with a lot, he'd be my spotter and watch my back and give bullets.

I joined a match on Atacama desert attacking, we were losing, some dude sniped me so I got out the good old SV98 and went to town. Went 62-1 on their arses and had an utterly preposterous score from the marksman points.

I also found that the MP 412 REX has the exact same trajectory as the M24 sniper.
Haha yeah I put about 500+ hours into the Xbox 360 version. I can pretty much play any map now and get a kill death ratio of at least 20 to 1, I know every map like the back of my hand. Me and my mate I play with can pretty much take on entire teams by ourselves.

I found that most pistols have the same trajectory as the m24. If you ever miss with a bodyshot you can switch to the pistol quickly and finish them off at any range.
I usually don't go to crazy k/d's since I prefer to just dick about and take risks, I have more fun that way, but I'm perfectly capable of it. I've got around 500~ hours into it myself, it's a shame that it's pretty much dead now on the PS3 :(
Yeah it's mostly dead on the 360 now. You can still find a decent match or two on the weekend but that's about it. It's sad to see my favourite multiplayer game die out.
It's alive and fairly healthy on Steam so long as you use the server browser and don't try matchmaking. :D

My issue isn't because people use them to snipe, oh no, it's the ones who use them as a shotgun that get me. Since the damn things kill in 2 hits from full health within about 20 meteres they're outright broken for close quarters, the damn things kill faster than the 870 does.
Heyzues, either you're playing Hardcore where DMRs are borderline overpowered, or you're getting too butthurt about getting killed by a bad weapon class.

They suck. An absolute downgrade in pretty much every stat from BF3. Less damage, a LOT more spread, worse hipfire, less sniping attachments, pitiable fire rate. Oh, but they have a higher ammo capacity. They're bad at everything: helpless at close range against every gun, still pretty helpless at medium range against every gun, and they can only beat out some weapons at far range, but I'm talking beating out shotguns without slugs or pistols.

In BF3 they were my favorite weapon class, especially on Rush. They were monsters at all ranges if you played the game right and your aim at close range was on the head.

In BF4, it doesn't matter where you aim, that second shot is going straight into the ceiling or about four feet to the side of your target. No matter what range you're at, you're outclassed, no matter what DMR you use and what attachments you shove on it, it's still going to be nothing more than an inaccurate noise maker and a dirt agitator.

I'm so angry how DICE neglected the DMRs to rot once they said having a 50+ damage scale didn't work. They could've made the DMRs have the tiniest bit different damage models, but nope, all DMRs have to do 40-43 damage, and they all have spread to make using a pistol a shitton more viable. The only DMRs worth using are the SKS for the hipfire, the M39 EMR/SVD-12 (because they have the same exact fucking stats, what the hell) for the "accuracy".

Another thing I'm annoyed with is the new AUG A3. I fucking love the AUG in all of the Battlefield games, they were really good at all range and all situations, and now the AUG A3 is only suitable for close range. The SAR-21 is pretty much the AUG A3 of old for being the accurate powerhouse AR that is a breeze to use at close range, but what if I don't want to use the SAR-21?

And not packaging the M60E4 on release and throwing it in Second Assault is pretty darn sad. I love the M60, not for any of its stats (though the ungodly suppression, accuracy, and damage it had in BF3 ended up working out), but because it's the goddamned M60. I think I'm only eventually getting Second Assault (and Premium in general) is for the M60E4, because I want my M60. The AS VAL is a bonus, that was a pretty fun weapon in BF3.
On PC you can have different health settings and shit on servers outside of hardcore you know, so it's fairly easy to play with different rules.

I also spend a lot of my time around 80-90 health being the engineering type and being a risk taker. My DMR deaths usually come suddenly from behind and irritate me. If it's face to face meeting in a corridor I usually win out weith an AR/Carbine/PDW, tend to lose with an LMG though.

As for the AUG I haven't bothered to unlock it yet, but it saddens me to hear they broke it, back on BC2 it was basically the perfect balance of all things assault rifle.

I agree.

Battlefield isn't Battlefield if you can't feed the Pig man.
