Scope glint is too much
The scope glint is too bright on this game. Honestly I think it needs remove entirely but I know some people would complain about it being removed. Why is it in the game? I know it's so other players...

It is a bit hard when the target soldiers move more energetically and erratically than a 4 year old who is high on birthday cake and got a new present.
In any case, I do not like how the scope glint is constant. I would like it to go away if you were not shooting at all for like half a minute then come back after you start shooting. Part of the sniper immersion is observing enemies with the scope while waiting for the right moment, the constant pre-emtive glint ruins that
@UP_Hawxxeye Lots of people stop to shoot or move in straight lines. After playing online as long as I have, you pick up on these tendencies and exploit them. They'll jump if they're actively fighting someone else, it's the rest of the time they follow patterns.
Drop C5 and let a player spot you. 95% chance they give chase and blow up. I've grabbed flags in UT99 and used cover to double back because too many think you'll make a beeline home. Weak snipers forget to move so aim for the reflection. Um, there's just a lot of little things.
Was about to say a sniper rifle was one of my top weapons but I edged it out with the railgun. Cool.

Sadly the really good snipers can aim shoot and cover before the glint even appears for the receiving party.Personally I almost exclusively do counter sniping when I am using a sniper rifle or the railgun and will use a x4/5 scope to avoid broadcasting my location to those I am looking for
- @UP_Hawxxeye That's how you're supposed to do it but too many keep looking around without realizing they're giving themselves away.
That's why I liked having multiple loadouts, I notice these things.To be fair, if we had at least some tool to scope out the battlefield in somewhat higher detail then it wouldnt be a problem in the slightest, but 4x zoom just really isnt that much to see what the state of action is on say a 200m far away objective. 4x, while excessive, is still a somewhat usable scope for close-mid range. if there'd just be a way to scope out the map without putting a flare in your own face would be nice. all things considered, even soflam doesnt work since it gives off a bright red flare, similar to the glint of the sniper scopes. was it really that hard to just add Binos to the recon class? so they can actually do some fckn recon? and once again, The fact that almost every weapon laserbeams from the same distances a mid range sniper would usually snipe from is so incredibly stupid, i can be on one of the buildings on kaleidoscope and some RM68 loverboy on the C point (conquest) can basically countersnipe me. its so dumb. theres just definitely either not enough damage falloff or not enough bullet deviation on distance. the only thing that shouldnt have bullet deviation is the gvt and the snipers, considering they are literally meant for 1 chance accuracy.
