Sniper Scope Standarization

[Ellron]

Today while sniping on 24/7 Avalanche, I was thinking about how the sniper rifle scopes were different for each team. While so are all the guns, they have the same stats, and they usually perform the same as their opposite. I really like the skinny scope that the US side has, but I hate the bold lined one on the K98. I did some research and I found some sprite files that changed the scope for both sides. There are quite a few on the web, and they are very easy to make. I would like to see if it would be possible for the scopes of both teams to be standardized, so the only variable was the sniper's skill.

This scope I found has beautiful, clean, thin lines.It also expands the field of view quite a bit; That could be seen as either a pro or a con.

I just wanted to get my idea out there to see if it wasn't a crazy one.

that is indeed a beautiful scope, however the sprite that removes the black edge is not allowed on our servers seeing as to how it offers an unfair advantage to other players. I would suggest not using it....with that being said there are other sprites that make the lines on the k98 scoped skinny and still leave the blacked out edges. It would be best if you stuck with that.

 

[Ellron]

Yah. I haven't been using that scope for that reason. Do you think there is any way that the server could force a download of a certain scope sprite? Because it kind of defeats the purpose of having a standard scope if only some players have it.

 

[Lungbuster]

i highly doubt that we would make that change, its pretty much standard that the axis scope has large lines on it across all servers..not just eGO. I wouldnt look for leadership to make this change any time soon. But the best place to put this so that you can be sure that leadership does see this is the dropbox. The link to that is here.

and as for other players using that sprite that removes the black edges, we really have no way of telling who is using it unless they give themselves up. And making it so the server has you use only a certain type of scope is also not really an option, it would require somebody to make a MOD for it. And if your going to do that there are plenty more things to change, however there are what they call "Vanilla servers" or clean servers, that have a MOD running that only allows the stock DOD items.

 

[Ellron]

I don't expect this to be the thingy sweeping every DoD:s server, I just wanted to put the idea out there. I'll put it in the dropbox; but I guess it's best just to leave it up to the individual user.

I haven't been using that scope for that reason.

Using it for ANY reason on our servers is not allowed. As suggested by Lung, I would add that you should remove it as soon as possible so that you are not removed from our servers. Thanks

I actually like the fact that the corresponding weapons for both teams don't necessarily look, sound, work, or feel the same.

They are different guns, makes sense that they would look different too. Lol.

[Smilodon]

I really like the k98's scope.

I actually prefer either of even though I rarely get to use the Sniper in game both scopes are rather easy to see on you just have to be "skillful" with it and if you were to use the mod you suggested we put on the server it would take away from the game its self and be a unfair advantage as stated above. So for those two reasons mainly the last one I would suggest not using it.
