BF1 RSC also had a massive "magazine". 6 bullets i think.

[@thestørmcrier2024]

Yes. An integral magazine fed by a 5 round en bloc clip. The rifle could chamber a round so reloading gives a full clip in the mag, for a count of 6.

Pre nerf VAL was way more op broken imo, gun types have just lose their identity in this game like ar's laser beaming you at 150+ meter's when that's dmr's territory, same with lmg's...

[@winsIow]

aaaand this is why bf3 and bf4's spread mechanics were a necessary way to balance weapons in a game like Battlefield because as soon as you take that away everything becomes effective at distances they have no business being effective at and reasonable balancing becomes impossible.

[@Jousten16]

This. I've been playing BF since BF2 and I've never had a game where you get beamed and one frame glitch killed by any gun on 100+ meters. It's absolutely insane how this crap can still happen easily in BF2042.

[@TheMortamer]

So the unfortunate part with videos like this is that after enough people post them on every social media platform, the developers get involved but not in a good way. They usually end up releasing a nerf for multiple things at once, some weapons that didn’t even need to be nerfed and then they just run them into the ground for whatever reason. I agree with some of your points but at the same time, a DMR is supposed to be more powerful than an assault rifle (maybe not by a lot) because it is essentially a combination of assault rifle and long range bolt action rifles. Increasing the spread would be a viable option for the auto fire but only if you have it held down, the damage could possibly change a little but like I said, Dice will most likely ruin the weapon and make it to where I would be better off just using an assault rifle on single fire for longer range.

[@Ghost-jr4rn]

Leave DMRS alone no need to nerf them

[@TricksterEnjoyer]

Everybody is sleeping on the dm7, I’m genuinely shocked people ignore how strong it is. Seriously I have a couple thousand kills on that thing at least

[@linglongpagota6195]

I think its crazy how you can be so accurate when your moving around like that. recoil is one thing but stance and mobility should be the biggest factor on accuracy.

[@Jumonji]

That’s the M417 from Battlefield 3 that made a return for this season

[@nastytechniquez9685]

The best part of this weapon is the way they put it halfway through the battle pass whilst nerfing progression to get those people to pay for 45+ tier skips and then having the audacity to lie about it. I’m not even mad, I’m impressed.

[@Tukulito]

SVK: “the new guy thinks he’s special lmao”

[@BlackTearsYT]

Part of the reason is that there's just no flinch in this game either. What can make an RPM nerf effective is that a player with a two shot rifle that has a lot rate of fire may hit the first shot, then take a bullet before firing the second, which can cause enough flinch to throw aim off for the followup kill shot from the rifle. I'm not saying there needs to be crazy amounts of flinch or anything, that can be annoying and headache inducing, but it's a mechanic that feels largely missing from 2042 that can really help to balance some of these guns without making them OP or useless without much in between.

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

I disagree with the spread because it's super annoying when your bullets don't go where your aiming at. If the sight bounces around with the spread that's fine but that's not typically how it's done in BF titles. Especially when looking at BF4 and BF3. Besides that I agree. They should really bring back the gunplay of BF4 in my opinion. That game was amazing but after playing over 500hrs of BF2042 it's hard to go back because they play so different in terms of gun play. Both of the new weapons introduced with Season 6 are broken AF. Great video man! 💚

[@Doubleome1]

First reliable DMR since BF3, and first time since BF3 that a DMR can do anything vs moving targets tbh. All the other laser weapons are already stupidly reliable for close and long range. Miss one shot and it's GG, that makes the TTK shoot up so much. Sure it's really powerful in the right hands but most people will struggle with it still. Recoil, spread and bullet speed completely ruin the other DMRs for using them on ranged targets, unless people aren't moving ever. SVK comes close imo but the lack of bullets in a mag, and total bullets just make it 100% useless. Think it's the fact the other DMRs are useless that makes this actually look good. But sadly Dice doesn't seem to have a single dev that fights for DMR rights since BF3, they usually come out strong get nerfed and are forgotten sadly.

DMRs shouldn't be out TTKing SMGs at close range. If the DMRs had a sweetspot mechanic to where they deal less damage at close range and more damage at longer range then I wouldn't see the problem. So basically if the G428 would 3 HK to medium distance then go to 2 HK then back to 3 HK at longer distances. I would be open to see a mechanic like this

Really not sure what DICE's deal is with adding guns that will kill you in two shots at wild ranges faster than you can even register the first hit.

[@StevenTLawson]

DICE desperately needs people to "hit clips" so that streamers can feel powerful and kiddies can get 5 kill streak and think they are good. Its too hard for them to balance the game so they just add in an OP weapon because it makes the players who abuse it feel good and thus according to some pencilpushing hebrew in an ESG office this gets players to spend money. This is an indisputable fact but too many soybabies refuse to accept this is the result of DICE losing all their talent after BF4

[@Guutek]

Dont think it needs to be nerfed at that moment and im absolutely against nerfing something due its great stats, this way we will nerf everyyhing and be throwing sticks at the end.

I think all the marksmans, if mastered, should be better versions of any ARs, especially for longer ranges. They would be the best weapons for any situation. But at the cost of them being some of the most difficult guns to use. Usually, it is not always because of slower ADS time and higher recoil.
