3D Scopes

Yay or Nay?

I like them alot! and with the DoF Shader it makes it more awesome and makes up for the fact that the whole screen is zoomed in

Even though why aren't there any games out there that can reproduce the scope perfectly?
(I mean like having only the scope zoomed in, not the whole screen)

As you see here is a real ACOG scope(high res)

and this is a Call of duty scope(not so fully high res)

The new scopes are awesome, although I rarely use them as medic

There is a Half-Life 2 Mod called Insurgency that does it almost perfectly, there is no visual blur, but inside and outside are scaled differently. It's a great mod, although it does not feature vehicle warfare on a scale like PR does. The infantry combat is nice in both Pr and Insurgency, I prefer PR though for it's tactics, teamwork, game-play and overall awesomeness.

Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat. (Source Mod)

I think everyone <3's the new 3D scopes.

BLOODY NINJA!

I tried Insurgency a while back and I hate it... The kit system, the sounds, the maps, it's all fairly poor.

I used to play INS mod back in the day. It's a very poor mod, with no teamwork, claustrophobic maps, and is basically CS: S with iron sights, slower movement, and more powerful weapons/accurate.

I think its because if you want to do it properly the game needs to render 2 times the screen because there are 2 "zoom" levels that needs to be drawn. But i dont know, it looks a lot better then when the entire screen is zoomed.

Would you agree that PR's new 3D scopes with the blur shader are better than just having the scopes surrounding filled in black as they were before?

I thought they kind of lost direction. Though if their objective was to make a realism enhanced, modern warefare themed CounterStrike, I suppose they did a decent job.
It's always been a bit wacky to play, lots of chaos.

Red Orchestra: Ostfront '41-'45 does 3D scopes for their sniper rifles the right way, too.

Neither of the games were really good, though. Red Orchestra was really, really cool and had a lot of interesting stuff, but suffered from a lackluster community, and so there isn't a lot of teamwork in public games...

Unfortunately we are on the BF2 engine which cannot do it the "right way", so this what we have.

if i was to disagree with you any more than i currently am...the universe would implode and we'd all be with Jesus.

Thread moved to the Feedback section.

OT: I thought that the new scopes would be awesomesauce when they first came in but i'm yet to have any real success with them and I still much prefer iron-sights. I think I just wasn't designed to use scopes.

Massive, massive improvement over the "cardboard with a hole in" that we had before though ofc.
