Long range =/= camping way the hell in the back where its harder to hit anyone (without autoaim) and not helping your team.

Yeah, and your crappy stats show how wrong you're actually doing.

I am rather disappointed by your lack of tactical flexibility. Something that is important on a battlefield.

Who the hell uses auto aim? The rifles have range notches on the scopes, use them. You also have mortars and spotting assists. USE THEM. In hardcore you don't get the easy find mode of the minimap, so when a sniper spots infantry you have to listen to him and check your map on the menu so you can get a good grounding. It's called teamwork. It works exceptionally well. Sniping from the rear isn't the only type of sniping. How about being in urban combat where you sneak behind their base and hide in shadows in buildings? Or in bushes? If you think there is only one type of camping you should do some research.
The SVU works insanely well for urban sniping as it has a silencer and no muzzle flash.Your stats are based on a different console without proper matchmaking, on an easy difficulty. You should just stop. When I snipe, I snipe, I don't rush in with a shotgun and claim that my RECON score is better. Recon is not assault, that is why you don't have ammo kits and assault rifles. If you want to be a C4 machine grab C4 with Assault, put on extra explosive ammo and explosives mark II.
Recon isn't my main class. I normally play engineer or assault. But when I do play recon I do what I'm SUPPOSED to be doing. Providing ranged cover for my squad, with rifles, mortars and spotting. Something hardcore requires, especially on a real gaming system with matchmaking that actually takes into account player skill.

Funny thing is you can do that without being a thousand metres away from your squad on a hill. Staying relatively close to the objective also allows you to use motion sensors and act as a spawn point. The Recon that does the latter is far more helpful to his squad and team, and thus more valuable and fun to play with.

Reading comprehension helps.

Yes it does, and a good memory helps too. Until that post you were championing the merits of staying at long range.
I'm just trying to preach against bush wookies. Far too many Recons on my team who don't know how to play the class properly.It's cute watching you guys all struggle to establish the largest e-peen. Compensate much?

It doesn't have auto-aim. This isn't Halo.

Completely false. ALL Xbox games have auto-aim (Aim Assist) including battlefield, it's standard practice. Don't state something as fact without being a player from the system.

I play on 360. It has no auto-aim. A quick google search completely proves "Aim Assist" is not a feature in BC2 multiplayer.

A quick google suggests its either toggleable for both singleplayer and multiplayer, on the PC (which it isn't), and/or only for singleplayer.

It isn't an option for multiplayer. That is the singleplayer. The official DICE forums confirm.

I've never experienced that, nor do I play on normal. Ofcourse the DICE forums say it isn't enabled and I think I'll trust the official release over some youtuber. So says official reviews too. Glory to google. Auto-Aim is a singleplayer feature that isn't carried over into multiplayer.

I've always wondered why there are still some people who deny the holocaust or believe the Earth is flat. I guess it's because some people just refuse to accept the truth, no matter how much evidence you pile up in front of them.
You're like those people, both sad and funny.

It's more of an aim assist, with the lowered sensitivity when over enemies. As opposed to the crosshairs snapping to an enemy, AKA auto-aim like in CoD.

I'm okay with this kind of aim assist for consoles, seems like a pretty good balance for having to use analogue sticks while not overdoing the assisting.
