Give more classes binoculars

causticbeat · Post by **causticbeat** » 2006-12-27 06:15

I think all classes that dont have scopes should be given binocs... this way if you took of the scoreboard, it would be easier to confirm kills.

And confirming kills would be a good gameplay habit for people to have to get in to... shoot a bit, take out your binocs, check, repeat if necesary.

well if you leave score, people will just check for score raises instead of kills

In reality the average foot soldier does not have binocs to check if someone is dead.

When playing as a sniper, it's easy to track kills using the scoreboard but that doesn't matter much. Most people don't have time to check the score board when in the heat of battle and being shot at.

binocs can be bought for $20 .. if they are not issued them, many troops buy their own.

Maybe regular soldiers could have crappier less zoom binocs? And without an aiming point like the SOFLAM which I use to aim my M4 for hilarious long range kills.

Simple, learn the usefulness of the anti-personnel rifleman, and there you go.. Binocs.

Or why don't you just use the jack of all trades kit. Spec Ops. It has *cue the music*

Knife - Backup for a
Pistol - Backup for a
Carbine - Ultimate killing machine with 0 recoil
Grenades - When a Knife, Pistol and 0 recoil carbine just isn't enough
SLAM - When a knife, pistol, carbine and grenades didn't destroy that pesky vehicle, SLAM will do the job. You even get 2 (yes, TWO!), the perfect number needed to blow up even the strongest of tanks for some reason
SOFLAM - For when you need to plan your killing rampage from far away and when you need to confirm your M4 700m kills. Even though you know you got the kill becuase he went flying another 400m after that laser beam hit him head on.

yeah, I don't see what the problem is with confirming kills... you don't see the guy go flying thru the air and flop all around after he's dead?

Buying your own small bino's to use in the field in enemy territory you'd be looking to get the lenses coated for anti-reflection!

But it is true that you can get small and handy 12x bino's now that can be carried around easily by infantrymen who are frequently throwing themselves onto the ground, without needing them digging into various soft parts of your body causing extreme pain!

The 4x scope on the Susat is good enough for so much, but having something more powerful is real handy in certain situations.

obviously I understand that the spec ops has the soflam, but i think a basic pair of binoculars should be issued to ALL troop

More binos would be nice. Only letting snipers have them is pointless, the scope has better view distance than the binos

Give ME these:

To Hell with all other reasons: these are my favourite bins Swift 8.5x44 Audubons............. the birdwatchers favourite! Now I'll be able to spot those birds that constantly twitter on OGT, Sunset City and west of the harbour in Checkpoint Abadan. I'm convinced one of them is a sedge warbler but I need to i.d. the little bleeder!

Hey you bum, don't knock it

When creeping around in-game, I've identified 6 bird species I know from their song so far!!
Maybe we should introduce a combat ornithologist class:

"Birds!.......... BANG!!"

or

"Flock of seagulls: SE of Blackhawk Wreck!!"
"Those are pigeons you muppet! Get better binoculars & the Collins Field Guide to Birds of Britain, NW Europe & the Jungle....... dumbass!"
