There is currently NO largescale (64+) multiplayer engine ever made that draws grass out to the distances rendered in PR... Far Cry, BF1942, Crysis, BF:V, COD4, etc they all have grass stop rendering at a certain distance (usually less than 100 meters).

ArmA has a unique system where the grass overlays a flat texture, which is a decent compromise, but the grass in ArmA only really draws out to about 40 meters or less.

The PR mappers are aware of this problem and for new maps, are trying whenver possible to use bushes that draw out to max visible range to allow snipers to be used effectively

It would be nice if the sniper rifle was a bit more effective again (meaning more accurate). I've had times that an enemy sneaks up behind me, i turn around, i see the enemy in my scope the size of king kong, i release a shot and the bullet still misses. Whereas marksman are prolly the best CQC units there are. PRONE AND BAM UR DEAD.

That's because you can't move you and your rifle 90-100 degrees that quick and still be accurate.

I heard about a code for BF2 that made grass render at very far distance hardly without any fps drop, was on some site a half year ago.

It's quite simple. Grass, etc. doesn't render well at distance, graphics matter and so on, plus the sniper rifle is easily heard once you fire.

This has been discussed before. Do a search for "sniper render" and you should find plenty on the subject, like this thread: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f18-pr ... ipers.html
