Glaz does not have a thermal scope

[Jozsefirst]

You want to know the real reason why glaz is OP?Here is why:

#1
A real thermal scope would highlight the tempature of whatever is in front of the scope,objects,people,fluids,gases,anything.
There are two types of thermal scopes commonly used,one that uses colors to highlight hot/cold surfaces from red being the hottest to dark blue the coldest.The other one uses grey shades,the brighter the shade is the hotter it is.Glaz's "Thermal" scope however does not show heat at all,all it does is highlight enemies and enemies only with a bright yellow color which has nothing to do with detecting heat,making so that calling it a thermal scope makes no sense to begin with.

#2
As i mentioned before,thermal scopes detect heat on surfaces,glass altough is a metarial which you can see trough it does not mean you can pick up heat trough it.In real life if you are looking at a window with a thermal scope and there is a person standing behind it you could only pick up the heat signatures of the window,so glass offers a shield like protection against thermal scopes/sights

A few simple tweaks would balance the gameplay greatly and would get rid of threads complaining about Glaz being op.The problem is not that Ubisoft wants the sniper to have a thermal scope.The problem is that what they gave him is an OP enemy highliter with no cons at all.

PROS:

-Glaz could now detect gadgeds giving off heat

CONS:

-Friendlies and hostages are now highligted the same way enemies are(Perhaps giving them a slightly different color could help at targeting)

-Colors of enviroment could confuse the sniper while searching for players

-Heat cannot be detected trough glass,only the tempature of the glass itself can be detected

If Glaz had a legitimate thermal scope things would be much better. Having a highligher is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ retarded.
