I think things will settle down in a week or two, BFBC1 and BFBC2 were the same, lots of snipers. People will eventually use other classes and play the game with objectives in mind.
Sniper kills are always the easist kills to get, but everyone will eventually get bored of not seeing any action, people will find new sniping spots, and the enemy will learn this and people will move on.
Just give it a little bit of time.

Hate the sniperfest that this game is right now, it won't get any better, same for any other game that features snipers modern warfare 2 and battlefield have the same problem in the [glow=red]objective[/glow] based gamemode..wouldn't be so bothered by a sniper in a team deathmatch, but even team deathmatch has issues with another problem, camping.
I mean the last game i played last night only me and dave were spec ops/rifleman, the rest were sniping and some didn't even move out of our spawn area?...objective gets armed and people just stand fucking sniping man.
Retarded 1 hit kills 99.9% of the time anywhere in the hitbox.
I do like the enviroments, but i am afraid maps don't make the game playable, at the core this game is simple.
I am trading this game on saturday for £30, this game will only be liked by people who like extreme arcade twitchy fps games similar to mw2.. and those who like to snipe.
They are the facts of this game snipe, camp, no teamwork.
This is a easy kill game, no skill to use a 1 hit sniper rifle from 1000ft and camp behind rocks, that is fucking boring to me.
MOH can kiss my ass.
At least i tried it, so i know exactly how this game plays, cod scrubs are what play this game and it will be the cod scrubs that defend this multiplayer trash of a game.
P.s
You'll also get the ones that say "only bought it for the single player" did you fuck, lame excuse.
Also don't like to class everyone the same but the majority of players are indeed cod scrubs.
I might just give it another try first, maybe forget the objective games and just go all out campfesting on deathmatch.

MP looks pretty good on some maps, but others look horrendous.

I've given the game a fair bit more time than you two, and while I thought it was great, I've noticed a LOT more problems from the obvious sniper campfest.
http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/meda ... st18683422
I think you might be right. Time will tell if it gets patched but I doubt it.I've put a fair few hours in now, and I've played Combat Mission almost exclusively, so I'll talk about that game mode only.
1. Servers, there appears to be a lot of lag for UK players. Do we have UK/EU servers?
2. Snipers, I think the vote is unanimous that sniper rifles are over powered and there are too many snipers.
3. Bullet Damage, I think this definately needs a slight tweek, make it more inline with BFBC2, still high but down a tiny bit.
4. Map inbalance, all the maps are badly out of balance, defenders die a LOT, attackers kill a lot. I can bearly get one killstreak as a defender, I can barely get a positive KDR as a defender, but as an attacker I usually get 40+ kills and very few deaths. I've even had 44/0 on a few occasions as an attacker.
Helmand Valley is about the best balanced map.
5. Map boundries, there are some areas where it's impossible to flank, going out of bounds seems to be hit or miss in regards to time spent out of bounds. I've died in 2 seconds on some occasions and 10 seconds on others.
6. Explosive weapons, the RPG is great for tanks, but you try and clear a bunker in Kandahar with it and you'll be lucky to even see a hit let alone a kill, even if there are 5 people in there, all will survive.
Grenades are pathetic, you throw one out and it seems to float then explose in mid air.
7. Killstreaks (tactical support actions), when you are in a bunker, you should be protected from this and not die.
8. Meshes/models, when you target a killstreak and you are looking at the area of attack, you launch the kilstreak, but it kills you, especially if you are in a hurry. This is because the mesh is invisible.
These are my observations and nothing more.
There are probably a lot more things to fix especially in other game modes.

Looks like they just farmed the art out to Dice for NFS.
Criterion won't let us down. NFS is a pre-order for me based on that belief.

criterion can handle this shit well enough on their own, i'm guessing ea ordered them to take assists from dice!

I'm willing to be it boils down to budgets. Developers have to submit an itemised account of who will be working on what for how many hours. So if EA can cut costs by saying to Criterion "hey, you don't need 15 artists working 300 man-hours - we can farm it out to Dice for half the cost", no doubt they will.
Or it could be the case that Criterion use a lot of contractors where as Dice have cheaper in house artists...

If they nerf the sniper and deal with that issue, i'll re-play this game for a change now n again, but in its current state with game bugs, sniper fest and other small issues like no voip in lobbies, kinda dull...its be a sniper or don't bother 
also @daz, well i doubt the rpg issue is a issue, end of the day its designed so u don't get a bunch of people using that shit as a main weapon and takin out 5-6 people at the same time, so they did good there.. look at carl gustav on infantry maps in bfbc2, it gets overused as a main weapon sometimes.
All that you need then is rpg and sniper fest! eww!
