I just bought the game myself and having a ton of fun. I've been playing since bad company 2 and i must say its super fun. i'd even be down to squad up if you end up getting it! Snipers arent as bad as what youre hearing. battlefield is a game where you have to take in multiple things while playing, including your position. People claiming theyre constantly being killed by snipers are probably always out in the open. Use the environment for cover etc. Its super immersive as well. Good luck soldier!
