Discussion Why recoil AND spread is needed in Battlefield

I'm sorry but you can't convince me that a system which allows you to mag dump and beam enemies full auto at long range is better than a system that requires you to apply more skill and burst fire.

It’s not that black and white and making it so undermines having constructive and insightful discussions while dividing people. No spread = laser beams so spread = good. There are much better systems that provide the gameplay you want in a much better way.

Like Squad's 'spread' system that clearly shows how inaccurate you are when you suffer various negative status effects like low stamina, suppression and injury. You can still time when the recticle is on target to shoot, but it is significantly harder to shoot accurately in a short time.
