so i got BF3 for christmas and so far I have really been enjoying the multiplayer, I use the Recon class the most but not for sniping, I'm the kind of player who sneaks into enemy territory, places down a spawn beacon and gets out I mean i'm no sniper, I've admitted it to myself and am not in denial unlike most others who use the recon class, I prefer to use a shotgun and when I unlock a PDW like the PP2000 then I'll probably start using that more often now I don't negate the sniper rifle from my loadouts all the time, I do use them but i prefer to take the scope off or use a more close quarter scope like the ACOG, i don't like being miles away from the battle giving no help whatsoever now since i got that out of the way here is the reason i made this topic, after a successful conquest game i recieved a voice message from another player in the game who was in my squad, basically the sender was what i assume to be angry at my usage of a shotgun for a recon class, telling me to play the game and class properly obviously i dismissed this angry rant of the unknown player and got ready for the next game which was rush on a large-ish size map (forgotten the name of it, had a big "lighthouse" on it) so since it was a larger map i changed my loadout to an SVD without a scope, thinking to use the weapon more as a semi-automatic battle rifle over a sniper rifle, and after losing the game i got another message from the same person with yet again another angry rant calling my abusive names and childish whining for my 'Misuse' of a sniper rifle, i left the game shortly after that really what I'm asking flood is must I really use a Sniper Rifle as a sniper rifle when playing online or should i take the "I bought the game so i'll play the game however i bloody want to" attitude ?
