Well Wes your a rare/extinct breed. Most snipers do FA but camp and take cheapo shots while their team mates march into battle and take all the risk. Your the only commando sniper I've ever heard of, never actually seen one, it sounds great in principle.

Sniper is epic in BF3 for combat, M40a5 + 3.5 PK-A scope, one shot kills anywhere in HC (as it should be), G18 Suppressed for backup, and that mounted rangefinder for marking armor.

Bf4 makes this even better...c4! But sniping in BF4 sucks as it takes 2-3 shots to kill, even headshots don't work half the time! Some of the hitboxes (chest and legs) are completely missing. Apparently lowering interpolation improves it a lot.

if you own w8 and install the 8.1 now its free and will just continue i think but you must have 8.1 installed before the update.

i have 8 pro and tbh i use win7 :p. no difference in fps just marketing bs from microshaft who gave EA millions just like AMD to sell there product. seems to be working though ;)

Did you check those links out? The difference in usage is insane....
 
Windows 7 is thought to be the preferred operating system by most PC gamers, however naysayers of Windows 8 may want to think twice about upgrading their OS because Windows 8 has a hidden feature up its sleeve, DirectX 11.1. Windows 7 is said to use only certain portions of DirectX 11.1. DICE’s Technical Director, Johan Andersson, has said that the Frostbite engine will fully support the latest version of DirectX and that systems using this software will see better performance, more specifically, better CPU optimization:
“We use DX11.1, there are some optimizations in it (constant buffer offsets, dynamic buffers as SRVs) that we got in to the API that improves CPU performance in our rendering when one runs with DX11.1. This will be in BF4.” Johan Andersson stated.

Summary:
- BF4 Support Direct X 11.1
- Windows 8 has better Direct X 11.1 support than Windows 7
- Windows 8 is faster than Windows 7 in BF4

It's insanely boring camping, i tried it max of like 4 times, and each time i didn't last a minute and ended up getting into the thick of it, it's what my play-style is like.

sniper is the OP class in any game, largets scopes and BF3 was just aweful there. BF4 has it down better as far its still OP as headshots are redicule easy to do even when people are running sideways. still the balance seems fine now inf wise with different classes at least in beta.

still the avatar movement is to much pipeline, BF2 had it down but BC2 and especially bf3 was aweful, BF4 a tad better but I miss the Bf2 movements due to I could duck bullets there and take out whole squads.

anyhow, have a lot of fun with bf4.
I tried Bf3 but couldnt stand the kiddy gameplay and boring netcode.

This is what an attacking recon can do, i didn't snipe once and used a Carbine and so on.

I didn't have a brilliant K/D ratio, but then again that doesn't matter. Score says it all really.
