Sniper Rifle

o_hollow-point · 05-05-2006, 05:27 PM

Hey I tried searching for the answer to my question but no results. Is the sniper rifle going to be a laser dot as it was in TFC or a cross hair like in CS?

o_yorin · 05-05-2006, 05:46 PM

No offense but I simply can not believe your search didnt come up with anything.

Edit: Sorry, It would have been nice to answer the question aswell: The sniper will have a red dot just like in TFC.

o_ekim · 05-05-2006, 05:58 PM

TFC style.

o_frenchtoast · 05-05-2006, 06:06 PM

Red dot. Nothing else makes sense.

o_ekse · 05-05-2006, 06:40 PM

is it always a red dot ?

would be better if the dot color was the same as the team color

o_frenchtoast · 05-05-2006, 06:54 PM

I think there was a topic awhile ago about that. I don't like it, 'cause this way leaved some guessign as to whom the dot belongs.

If there were teamcolor dots, then you'd know there is a sniper on you. Which would kind of give you an advantage, because the sniper may be hidden somewhere, but you know you're being targeted.

o_ekse · 05-05-2006, 07:46 PM

thats pretty much the intention about it that you know to which team this dot belongs to

o_carnifex · 05-05-2006, 08:08 PM

The dot itself is enough, why making it unrealistic and give the dot another color ?
In RL (for the nublets: Real Life) you also don't see blue or green dots..
bad idea

Actually the correct answer here is "both".

Circuitous · 05-05-2006, 08:39 PM

A crosshair for normal aiming, a dot for the charging. PHISH wins.

Uh, don't really have the time to check this again, but isn't it about the wavelength and jazz?

And I'd say no to team colored dots.

o_paft · 05-06-2006, 01:47 AM

Teamcolour Laser dot's, sounds ideal at first, but erm NO!

o_tyrus · 05-06-2006, 02:31 AM

I'm not sure, but is the forum database truncated (pardon spelling) after so many days?

unrealistic ? we are talking about a game with conc-jumps and rocket-shooting autosentryguns.
and in fact, there are weapons with green laser sights.

**mervaka** · 05-06-2006, 11:37 AM

dude, you get green lasers in stuff like pointers, and wtf do you think 'blu-ray' uses?

sorry to totally shit over your argument, but it sucks

o_nezumi · 05-06-2006, 02:31 PM

Tyrus, your spelling was correct

And there are a LOT of situations I get into where an enemy will think my dot is a friends dot, and where I don't know if a dot I'm seeing is friendly or not. This adds a ton of interest to the game which teamcolored dots would ruin.

o_tfcog · 05-07-2006, 05:22 AM

Will the laser dot be the same size as the one in TFC?

o_paft · 05-07-2006, 03:15 PM

Wow these forums are getting a lot of pointless, unnecesarry and trivial questions. Just posts questions just for the sake of it.

o_nezumi · 05-07-2006, 03:46 PM

Yea? What's your point?
