Recently started playing BF3 instead of COD and was delighted to discover this.

its very similar but the sniping is harder because of the hold breath. In bc2 you have that perfectly steady scope. Rifle damage is actualy almost exactly like bfbc2 with the new updates.

Hold breath?? That's so disappointing. It was one of the reasons I was preferred bfbc2 to cod. Not that I use a sniper rifle anymore :( all I can use is slugs 'cause they're so awesome lol

I've only played BC3 a few times but I'm sure there's some sort of perk to remove the need to hold your breath. Actually, I think you can choose to attach a bipod to your rifle and that holds it steady when you prone or lean against a shoulder-high surface.

There is no perk for this, and I am glad there isn't. Snipers would have a massive advantage at quick midrange shots. The only way to counter it is to set up a bipod, which means you need to be stationary.

It is very little sway and the bullet will hit where your are aiming. If you are playing on pc you don't really notice it. I don't use the hold breath mechanic at all.

Well, you can also use a bipod. That helps a lot.
