I haven't looked at the figures for them but thee semi auto ones don't have the damage to and certaintly don't feel like they do. Even something like the scout elite doesn't seem to. Going to have to play around with them some more until I find one I like.

I saw a video on the .300 and I want it. Is there anyway to see what challenges you have to do? I know what the challenges are but can't find info on where to my progress through it.

Battlefield hardline is confusing in that it calls the DMRs "Sniper Semi Auto" but they are no in fact sniper rifles. The DMRs are Designated Marksman Rifles, and different to sniper rifles. They are essentially assault rfiles that fire high caliber bullets, but are fixed to single shot mode for improved accuracy - and fire just like a semi auto sniper rifle as a result.Battlefield has always purposefully avoided semi auto sniper rifles and used DMRs instead. Reason being is that DMRs use 7.62 assault rifle ammo and as a result use a battle rifle damage model, thus only doing 43 damage or so.

Semi Auto sniper rifles do exist in the real world, but battlefield has always avoided them for balance sake to not make them too easy to use.If you want to one hit kill people, get one of the purchasable unlock sniper rifles.
AWM for example is a one hit kill to the chest up to about 10m. The daddy for this however is the .300 knockout which is OHK up to 50m.

www.symthic.com is your friend here :)

The DMR / Semi Auto Snipers are for those who want to spam bullets down range and don't want to have to rely on getting one good hit. If you are the short that can get one good chest hit, stick to the proper sniper rifles and grind out the challenges needed for the .300 knockout.
 
Shame really

Its clearly a snipe rifle that's balanced for close range encounters and is ideal for those that want to play aggressive recon.

Here's hoping they don't nerf the OHK range too much.

50m to 40m maybe ? 35m ? that at least would still be enough to distinguish it from the AWM etc.. without nerfing it into uselessness.

You're guessing just as much as everybody else, you even said it in one post that you'll bet it's the same as....

They've opened this up themselves, I hate these stupid idiot companies who seemingly can't put together a coherent piece of media material for their game, instea dof building hype, they build stupid BS questions, that shouldn't even arise.

I mean do they have the 12 year old marketing YTS kid writing this stuff? It's hard.

I'm sorry but 'track their kills per weapon' is open to an awful lot of interpretation. Maybe it will tell you who exactly you killed (like a list) or something, or maybe it will be just you have 200 kills with this weapon, who knows, because they are incapable of actually explaining any of this ****.

Was browsing my most used weapons the other day on battlelog and thought back to this conversation.

Told you so :)

I got bored yesterday whilst playing and thought I would unlock the DMRs for the greboth class and wow they are beastly :eek:

Has there been any talk of balancing the weapons? The range on the SMGs really needs nerfing.
 
Hotwire

You earn cash constantly while driving round in the hotwire cars.

They nickname the mode easy money on Reddit. Get in before they nerf it.
 
I'm sure my kd in this game would easily be double if the spawn system worked. So many deaths from spawning and being shot instantly or spawning directly into molotovs or trip mines :mad: Or spawns directy behind you and shoots you in the back.

Every game I've played people have been going for objectives. Really enjoying the game. Been going for the .300 at the moment and boy is it annoying.

Scout seems very good on its own to be honest. Between scout, m416 and m16 there isn't much else to use.
 
Swings and roundabouts really, I have lost games massively and won other by the same amount.

I am working towards the .300 too, on the last stage though so almost there. Unlocking tier 4 in 10 matches is going to be a right PITA. Managed to get 2 last night but need sooo much xp without dying it is ridiculous. Trying for them though should easily get me the required kills, camera coins and marksman coins.
 
they really need to hurry up and put in the spawn system they just implemented in BF4 where you can't spawn on a team mate if they are under fire.

IT saves you spawning into bullets and dieing, and it saves you shooting people with team mates who pop out of their behind right in front of you who then turn round and kill you while you reload.

I've never got higher than tier 3 lol

I've done stage two, I think I need gold star next. Then onto where you are.

Any tips on unlocking tier 4?
 
Down to needing 9 camera coins then .300 is mine....ALL MINE!!!!!

Multiple ways to make it easier, apparently the hacker can give you one so if you get to 3 a hacker could give you the fourth - Not tried this though so don't know if it actually works. I 'cheesed' the tier 4 though, I used a 50% boost and joined a hotwire server with 4 people and drove around a lot. With so few people it is easier to stay alive though still took me probs 25 matches to do it.

Ok, thanks. I was trying it properly but there are too many RPG players to achieve it in normal play.
