User blog comment:Ruler Of The Wastes/What are you expecting for BF4?/@comment-5276811-20130322000057/@comment-96.54.65.137-20130516060736

1.) Basic starting gear for all factions would be great (worn looking m16&AK74 in BF3) XM8!! YEAH BUDDY!! although a proper length g36 assault rifle would be pretty pimpin as well.

2.) YES! soldier asthetics would be cool, only minor stuff though to keep telling freind from foe easy.

3.) IMO sniping is the farthest thing from easy...the points per minute score of all BF3 kits is evidence of that. You are given an under powered primary that feels like you are throwing stones at distance, damage drops of past 50m (complete BS), scope glare can be seen a mile away (literally) and you are defenceless against any sort of armored/air vehicle.

Solution? Give Recon claymores, have the MAV fire traccer darts, give the recon spotting bino's that give the laser painting/missile ability of the drone in BFBC2, have a HUGE cool down, target needs to be painted for 15 seconds and there is a red glare similar to laser sight to give away your position. Impliment damage models based on the caliber of the rifle, .308=1shot to head/neck, .338=1 shot to upper torso(any range), .50=1shot to torso(any range). The heavier the rifle the slower you will move, less ammo you will carry, more dust will kick up while firing prone, louder/longer radar blip, Off-hand firing will have more sway/slower ADS.
