I'm a calculated shooter. I'll hardscope forever until I feel like I have the shot. I can't do all that zoom in pop zoom out. I'm def sticking with the sharp shooter scope. All those people that have unlocked the marksman scope were sitting ducks with their scope glint. It's interesting how conquest is shorter because of a bad system. Rush is actually improved in this game. I remember in previous games, once you got both m-coms you could time it right to rush to the next m-com to where the out of bounds timer wouldn't reach the kill before the next zone opener up for attackers. Now there is a huge artillery barrage that will kill you easily it you try to advance too early. It gives defenders ample time to fall back and set up.

Conquest needs to be fixed. Honestly its a train wreck right now. Redditors are asking for the old system back, and I agree. Matches are only 10 min long. I've yet to see a ticket win, just time running out instead. This isn't conquest, its some casual remix BS. I can barely get anything done before the match is ending. DICE said they'll change it back after the beta based on the reaction. If conquest stays like this, I'll probably play Rush and Operations exclusively. The servers collapsed tonight under all the non insiders getting access. I got a few rounds of Rush in and I enjoyed it more because the matches were double if not triple in length. There are 10 bombs over 5 check points. This is where you can get some good Sniper v Sniper action as well. I wasn't getting constantly raped by tanks, because there are far less vehicles on the map. Its funny how "telegraph posts" look like 80s sci-fi M-COMs thats a bit weird. Instead of the alarm sounds, it makes a bell ring. As far as I could tell, the Rush map takes you along the northern part of the conquest equivalent. It starts where F is, and ends where C or B is. Sniping is a different beast in this game. I got to try some long range hits with the starter gun, and I was only getting 40 damage. That sweet spot mechanic really comes into play. I'll have to buy a different rifle tomorrow. War bonds are awarded pretty generously unlike the money in Titanfall 2. I bought a different SMG, which I don't like all that much better than the starter. I bought another LMG, but I like the Lewis gun better than it because of the iron sites. I played medic for a bit, and the semi-autos are pretty damn beastly. They are almost like DMRs in BF4. The only issue is, Medic is a pretty useless class in conquest. Revives don't stop ticket bleeds, and the fast respawn pretty much negates any use for reviving. Hopefully I can find an SMG I like. I need to level up more to have more purchasing options. Here is a bit more sniping. I'll try some more sniper rifles as the week goes on.

My younger brother somehow got the insider code for his XBox One even though he requested the code for PS4. I played for a few more hours tonight and had alot of fun until the last match when I seemed to die within 20 seconds of spawning anywhere on the map. x_x They need to fix the spawn locations. Spawning on any flag puts you right out near the flag in full open view of everyone. Spotting really needs to get less restrictive IMO. You can only spot an enemy if your cross hairs are directly over them and that needs to change. I say that because your have to basically be a sniper with your spotting. If your cross hairs are just over the should of the enemy by a pixel it wont spot them and if you hit the button and then re-aim directly on them and hit it again the game will think you're spamming the spot button and still wont register the spot. The R1 button is almost worthless with spotting like it is. Its only good for squad leaders to call a target on what flag to attack. Its really annoying me because I spot every enemy I can to help the team and I can't even spot a damn airplane while running because I hit the R1 button just off the wing tip because it was banking while I'm running, and then it considers it button mashing again and my spotting is basically disabled for another 20 seconds. Along with shooting no longer making you appear on the mini map there is no spotting going on at all. The last part doesn't bother me, but people not being able to actively spot enemies is a nuisance. Sniping is fun but my aim still seems way off. I briefly tried the support class and couldn't kill crap with the machine gun, I think the enemy was just out of range of it's optimum damage. It feels like the flags need more transportation options. I'd often find myself waiting for a vehicle or horse to spawn and get bored and start running. The tank is OP. Heres a video of some scout gameplay and my tank killstreak as the second half of the video:
