I don't think you did. The very obvious benefit of binoculars is that you could equip them and still have room for a light weapon other than the sniper rifle. It would allow you to do some reconnaissance while retaining the ability to defend yourself at short to medium ranges, depending on the weapon you choose. |

Notice in your reply you stated "you" often as if "you" are the only one on the team.
You are sorely mistaken in that regard, and I have no idea how you could possibly have come to that conclusion.
Quote:Binoculars => dont need snipers => lone wolfing => against what this game is about. The purpose of the roles in the game are for you to rely on your teammates to help you in capturing/defending objectives.
This game is also about customization, AND you would have to sacrifice an equipment slot to use the binoculars. Also, see my edited post above.
Quote:Logis are for support/heal
heavies are for defend
assaults are for capture
scouts are for recon (though not anymore, its snipers role now)
binoculars would only create more redline snipers that dont contribute to the team because "you" dont need "them" for recon.
Like I said, this game is about customization, so even though CCP says the heavy suit is meant for point defense, you can fit any weapon on it, thus allowing you to create your own roles. Why should snipers be the only ones able to do long range reconnaissance? |

that is like asking why HMG users should be the only ones able to provide continuous suppressing fire on an area for defensive or offensive purposes; it is their role. It just so happens that only the heavy can use the hmg
The fact that you only addressed this part of my post tells me that you don't really understand what I'm trying to get at. Also, I would argue that HMGs are worse at providing suppressing fire than other weapons, due to their lack of range. |
