I agree with this 100% sniping shouldn't just be some walk in the park class. sniping is very difficult!
Ok, you sort of lost me here...:icon_ohmygod: I agree a rifle systems should have the capability to equipt a bi-pod but it should never be mandatory.
Additional recoil... yes! Most long ranger weapon systems uses .308 caliber and up; But, to say near imposible to engage accuratly while crouched or standing is quite a reach. one of the most accurate and stable firing positions is sitting Indian style (fyi). In my opinion I think Battlefields 3 did it very accurately by allowing bi-pods to be deployed just about everywhere (ex. rocks, hoods of vehicles, low hanging tree branches when standing, highway dividers, window ledges, ect.)
I love this!!!!!!!! Seperate the MEN from the boys. any one who plays this game as a true sniper should love this. The concept of "wind" effecting point of aim point of impact adds another rinkle of difficulty which reduces the amount of people who will just equipt a long range system without proper trainning.

See but that is the issue... Daveallen10 is stating that wind needs to be universal in all servers. Also, not just for long range systems but anyone engaging a target at a conciderable distance should have to compensate for wind. That means the guy/girl with the M4/M16, M249, or .50 cal, ect. should all have to keep in mind there is wind to adjust for.
