The correct portrayal of sniper rifle scopes in video games.
Flamecannon:
If you prefer the supposed correct way to portray zooming in through a scope, I think it should, at the least, blur the surrounding and dim it a bit so users can focus better, while being able to see other things happening around the scope.
TheScout:
Its to make snipers more fair to use, and signifies focus on the scope.
snot2:
i wish the bazar bargain in tf2 would do that since its not a scope
RagnaTheBroedge:
this is something that bothered my in Ace Of Spades, but the way i chose to combat this is something most other developers should do
i basically just made the scope really huge on the player's screen and used a vignette to simulate a lack of peripheral focus (though in any other game a blur of DoF would probably be better)
however, most developers are far too lazy for that :Y
Kalphiter:
TF2.
