What I don't like about most shooters.

Sniper rifles. Putting your eye WAYY too close to the scope. If you did that in real life, this would happen:

oh boy.


video games =/= reality.

Obviously you don't put your eye up all the way to the scope, and if you did that in a video game you could barely see through the scope which ruins the whole point.

The lack of options is appalling.  The water texture is stuff.  Trying to zoom in (which is awkward as hell due to the shoddy camera controls) into the water you'll see that it is somewhat pixelated and ugly.

Sorry about the above, but it fit pretty well. Actually could direct it at most of that post. Just making the point that you contradict yourself sometimes. :) You're very grumpy today, actually.

He's not complaining that the water was unrealistic though...

what does a stuffty water texture have to do with realism?

[MegaScientifical]

Water doesn't have to be high definition, especially when it must also be dynamically changing and flowing. You shouldn't be zooming in on water, you should be moving it. As such, his own statement applies to him. Posted it her to make a point that he contradicts himself at this time and needs to cool down until he can get his ideas straight.

[Sulfate]

he still wasn't complaining about realism .. nowhere there did he complain about how it wasn't high definition, now you're just pulling assumptions out of your ass.

In real life laser sights and magnification scopes also require you to look directly into them.

who the forget cares
most modern shooters suck for a large variety of reasons, but scope animations ARE NOT one of them

[fred da kiko]

i've had some experience with scopes and i know for a fact that if you put your face up near most scopes, they will blur. it's like shoving your eyeball all the way up near binoculars, they loose their focus. most scopes are designed so that you rest your head on the butt of the gun or your arm, that way you can see through the scope and not bleed.

Killing Floor doesn't do this, the Crossbow is the only scoped weapon but it's pulled up so you can see whats going on and only whats on the scope is magnified.

TF2 AINT DO THIS
also people who do keep the scope to the face is faceman

That's another thing. Your peripheral vision is magnified along with the scope for some reason, implying it even HAS peripheral vision, which is ANOTHER thing about snipers. The area around the scope is just black.

We should do away with scopes. They're gay

The sniper rifles in BF3 will be able to use only ironsights, so there's no scopes
