#2 was actually something I didn't like about D1. When you have a (real) scoped rifle it's rare that the mounts allow you to use it with open sights and the mounts that do are generally substandard. The main exception to this being a rail mounted "backup" sight that requires the weapon to be canted at 45* to use in case of holo sight failure.
I like the high power scopes as is right now. The sniper rifles can 1 shot kill players. Having the ability to use high powered sniper rifles in a no scope ads fassion would be ovrrpowered in pvp.
The limiter view 9f the scope helps to balance out the high powered high damage nature of the weapon.
People throw VX-1 scopes on their ARs in TD1 for the headshot bonus with no intention of using the actual scope. This change is meant to stop that. I believe it was confirmed by a dev at some point.Originally Posted by panini_ozolives Go to original post
In any case, making the bonus from the scope only work in scope view would be a lot less disorienting and... frankly, un-fun.
