Breathing Cycles

i think that this should be added into bf2 it made sniping much harder in vietnam and 1942 and it was so cool it was also effected by weather you were lying down or not it made sniping only for the people who were acurate.

this would also be great if it was added to the normal rifles and hand guns as well but not as much.

I dont think its possible. Even the most simplest of sway implementations requires programming (sinus curve is an easy bet)... Not something shallow scripts can do unless its supported there.

Didn't BF1942 have a little bit of sway?

Even if it did, question is still if BF2 support it. Personally I cant remember, I wasnt a sniper fan, heh.

1942 and vietnam both feature it and it depended on standing how much it swayed you could get loads.

Yes, I know that even if BF1942 supported it, the BF2 engine is too unmoddable to add kewl things

breathing cylces are pretty rediculous anyway, since i've never aimed a weapon of any kinda and had it seriously affected by my breathing. The thing that effects my aim the most is and movement or twitching of my muscles, and that only causes noticeable movements when standing and, to a lesser extent, crouching.

Not sure how many weapons you've aimed or fired there, Cale, but breathing patterns lend themselves significantly to one's accuracy. If you've been running and you're out of breath it's a hell of alot harder to fire your weapon accurately. Conversely, if you've been lying in one position for an extended period of time, in theory you should be more capable of hitting your target. This is when adrenaline and muscle twitches come into play.

IT was in 42 and BFV. It wasn't just a animation that had no effect. Go pay FH, pick up an AT rifle, and stand in one spot. That is the kind of stuff we need, just not soo drastic. It actually does move your aimpoint and your whole screen, not just the gun itself.

Lack of oxygen would attribute to more muscle movement, and thus poor accuracy, then your actual breathing would, even heavy breathing is something your body is accustomed to and compensates for as apposed to minute muscle movements which are generally not visually accounted for. I am in no way a firearms expert, but from my few experiences, breathing had very little effect on accuracy.Thats wtih any of the weapons i've had experience with, varying from a (i emphasize A) 5.56mm rifle with a scope (i think it was 8x IIRC, well it was a variable 3-12x unit but i believe it was set to 8x) down to a simple pellet gun.

i went shooting last week for the first time in a couple of years and the first shot i firsed was a bull all that was down to was controling my breathing all my shots were in the black this was on a comeptition target at 20 yards the target apeared to be the size of a pin head.

breathing has alot to do with shooting form rifles to hand guns and constantly looking through a scope you get eye spasums no one can look through a scope for ever sniping was actually easier on vietnam and 1942 because although the gunmoved you had fluid movement and so it was much easier to do.

sniping is not just lining two wires at a right-angle up with some ones head it takes skill hence the thread i want sniping to require skill in BF2 it would detract noobs from only being sniers plus on nam it was easier to hit a running man because of the movement.

Sniping is lame this would make it lamer!

Why is sniping lame? Sure, using overpowered sniper rifles with impossible accuracy would be lame, but if sniping requires the same ammount of skill (or even more) than using any other weapon in the game I don't see what would be lame about it.
