Adropkickmidget Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hey, I was wondering why there are no high magnification optics available anywhere? I think it limits some aspects of gameplay as a rebel. For example, if a rebel decided to be a dick and terrorize a city he could pick up an m14 and a nice scope and terrorize a city on his/her own. On the other side of that coin, a police officer who wants to provide real time intel to a swat team working a hostage rescue, he is limited to binoculars which prevent him from providing fire support. I think not having these scopes limit players to only playing things close up. Personally, in other games (namely wasteland) I never engage anything within 800 meters and I'm sure some others can say the same. Is there any way to make some of these available. But perhaps make them more expensive? Link to comment

Cassettes Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 It's an RP server , there isn't much roleplay in shooting someone from that far and them never even seeing you or having a chance to even comply with initiation. I think the scope magnification is good where it's at now. Hanzo/Dirty Scrubz likes this Link to comment

KOTH and Wasteland are great to do what you want. 6 minutes ago, Adropkickmidget said: On the other side of that coin, a police officer who wants to provide real time intel to a swat team working a hostage rescue, he is limited to binoculars which prevent him from providing fire support SWAT Officers get a Rangefinder (increased zoom). If recon is in the pick, they get a drone. Sgt+ also have drones (which have thermals). Link to comment

You don't need to initiate if they are red to you, or they are in a red area. You can also have a friend close to your target, or just send texts Link to comment

It's being done already, but you really have to be skilled. The risk is not worth the reward IMHO.. Link to comment
Tyler Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 You can still hit 1k+ shots with the scopes that are on Asylum now especially with a 7.62. I hit one the other day with an MXM. It requires skills other than making a mark on the map and putting your scope up to the distance and having a zoom so powerful you can look into their fucking eyes before you shoot lol.

You're a lot harder to kill when nobody can hear the bullet because you're too far away. Link to comment

And you say only those situation, but they will be used in every scenarios b ) not really. Zero in your scope to 1200m, 1 shot kill to the toe with that lynx and it's not really any different from shooting from 150m Le Razoir likes this Link to comment
Boris Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 High mag scopes would be hilarious. Donor rebel would be a sniper's nest. Nowhere at OG arms would be safe. Tyler likes this Link to comment
