Re: Thoughts on the New Laser Sights

@E9ine_ACI've never seen them except from Vantage players.

No one still has an explanation for why the CAR can't use them?

    We now have some data showing that there was an overall nerf to all SMG hipfire, even with laser sights.  A gun using the purple laser sight has only very slightly better hipfire than it did before laser sights were introduced.  Any other sight is worse than last seasons default hipfire.

    Thanks for confirming what I said in my OP with your latest post.

    The Laser sights suck with a Purp you are just barley breaking better than even vs S13 Hip-fire. 

    Yes I will pick them up and use them because I do not need to be handicapped even more but they could at least have the Laser touch the target. 

    Otherwise it feels like giving me a flashlight with out batteries and shoving me in a dark room.

    I like the laser sights mostly because I believe in what the devs were trying to do in making the SMG's weaker at range and stronger in CQ.

    I do think though that just because a weapon has great hip fire accuracy doesn't mean that it's particularly great close up, just look at the RE-45, the hip fire is practically pin-point with a purple LS but it's harder to land shots because the recoil is so strong and there is no barrel to mitigate that anymore.
