No Binoculars or camo suit in a sniper game ?

[wolfe]

Dont think ive played a sniper game where we dont have a set of binoculars, i get we now have the drone, but i find that makes it far to easy to spot the enemy, id like to do it old school with binoculars, or atleast the option too
Also why cant we dress our guy in any kind of camo gear like a Ghillie suit ?

[Skylers Meth]

Because this is CI Games attempt at making "the very best Sniper game available". Were you expecting something more?

A bit confused. Why do you want to customize you're character's appearance in a FPS?

It would make more sense if they made first focal plane recticles for scopes with variable zoom. Its a basic thing for most marksman & sniper & longrange shooter.

You have a drone and sniper scopes up to X32, what do you need binoculars for?

[Yaion]

they have a larger vertical range so it's better for looking around
The drone takes forever (4-5 sek) to get started, and you still have to fly around and then get it back

Agreed. They really need to add binoculars for the increased horizontal view.

Also Binoculars dont make a sound that 'could' alert people

So you are better camouflaged against the enemy of course, too many times im laying on the ground and get spotted by an enemy sniper, but if i had a Ghillie suit on id be harder to spot

Ahh is that what they're for, I figured these sniper people were trying to get the bushes to fall in love with them. Maybe you should go out at night instead...oh wait the game is automatically night every time you load the game. I use the bed to sleep until daybreak, but when I go outside, the lighting engine is so poor it looks like night anyway. I drove past a big pile of blood last night..well i thought it was blood at first..turned out it was red light from a lamp.

As technology moves on, so sniper's equipment. Therefore Jon does not use binoculars, but drone. As for Ghillie suit. Well, I'd say that it would look kinda funny if enemies will see running bush with AKA-47 in its hands throwing grenades.
This game does not focus on being only sniper, but if you want to, you can be Rambo or ninja.

Best,

While it is very convenient that the Bino's were omitted. I beleive they are a VERY essential equipment for a PRO sniper as its got a WIDE field of view.

"Well, I'd say that it would look kinda funny if enemies will see running bush with AKA-47 in its hands throwing grenades." Well, that's the stupidest comment i've ever read.

As they say, if it aint broke dont fix it, Bino's are essential to any sniper (yes, this is a sniper game)
That drone is huge, id think it funny seeing someone trying to be stealthy with a huge lunk of metal attached to his back....

As for that bush comment ? im confused

Don't be confused, what do we expect from the people who made a lazy attempt to make a farcry game? It wouldn't have surprised me if they'd included a clown suit to make things more challenging, but that would mean programming the AI to "see it" and we can't have that!

[wolfe]

Im not even sure if hes just trolling us by that comment....
