No one that was competent with a sniper rifle in CoD even paid attention to sway or used the hold breath button. This isn't CoD, but it should be the same case. Having no sway isn't that big of an advantage in the first place. |

There's recoil, but that only hinders people going for multiple targets or bad players since you should be getting OSKO's in the first place. This game has aim assist too so what is your point? |

Read post 12 of this thread.
COD is an Arcade FPS: unrealistic recoil, aim assist, regenerative health, perks, etc... This is a FPS MMO and sway should be treated as in Military FPS or even better as in Tactical/Simulation FPS.
And I said that competent snipers generally ignore sway and used CoD as a relevant example. Not that I'm against it, but changing sway from the way it is now is such a negligible adjustment. Not having sway doesn't automatically make you a good sniper, nor does pose as that much of an advantage that it needs attention. |

You are 100% right: not having sway doesn't make you a good sniper.
That comes from the skills of the player.
Not having sway at all, which now happen in 2-3 seconds after pressing L1, still makes SR shooting easier...aim assist does the rest.
If you are moderately good now it's far easier to be a sniper in Dust 514 than in Battlefield or Killzone.
It never took me more than a second to scope in and kill someone in KZ, so neither of those thing really affect me. Take out aim assist so it isn't as easy for bad players to compete, and it's fine. |

Killzone, which is my favourite FPS, has OHK sniper rifles and once you are crouched Sway is already reduced: here every time you press L1 scopes sways automatically regardless of you movements or stance. No to mention that in Killzone aiming sensitivity is far better than in this beta.
If I'm not scoping in to take care of one person really quick, I always have my reticle moving, so again, I don't even pay attention to sway. No, I haven't noticed the crouch thing since I only crouch when I'm trying to get behind cover. Killzone 3 is too fast paced and limited vantage points to stay scoped in too long and have tunnel vision. I think using the R700 in CoD4 was the only time sway actually bothered me in an FPS, but lagshooting was a big part of the Wii CoD games back then, so it was pretty hard to snipe in general.
Actually now I remember a couple of times in CoD where it helped to hold my breath when I was trying to hit someone that only had like one pixel visible through a small crack of space at an awkward angle. I guess there's that. I'd actually prefer they keep it as it is for those type of instances. Especially since that kind of thing can happen often when you're shooting from very long range.
w/e this topic is getting boring. idc if they change anything |
