The correct portrayal of sniper rifle scopes in video games.
Dezcaban:
I've noticed a trend in modern FPS shooters that have sniper rifles.
This is the correct way to do it:
Not this:
If you were that close to the scope and you took a shot, it would give you a serious concussion.
brawlman14365:
it's meant to be a downside to zooming in, you can't see anything besides what's directly in front of you at a lowered field of view.
Masterlegodude:
I think it's to give you more focus on what's in the scope rather than what's around you
Dezcaban:
I just realized that it's supposed to block out the rest of the FOV
That's a good tactic, but I still think it's a little out of place. Normally you could see in your peripherals. I still think that SMOD has some of the best sniper rifle mechanics out there.

this used to make me dizzy
