Don't like to see new weapon with old vBF uniform.
Any news about marksman rifle?

Currently we are using lots of different QBZs, that being a mixture of the vBF2 ones and the PR ones, with the QBZ-95 rifles being the PR ones, using high rez textures etc and the QBB + QBZ-95B both being vBF2 weapons, with there own textures. As such we had basically 3 sets of the same weapon, all using there own unique texture sheets which isn't very good for performance when you can have them all using the same textures and as a result, having to load less textures into the memory and having less draw calls to be fed though your CPU and that your GPU needs to process. Not to mention the new QBB and QBZ-95B textures being much higher rez than the vBF2 textures (but the same rez as the normal QBZ-95 textures where before). There has also been lots of other optimizations done to these weapons which in a few months time I hope to go into more detail about once they have been fully tested and somewhat implemented.



The fact is you don't, which is part of the other optimizations I just mentioned but this increase in detail is about the 1st person weapons, which your holding in your hands and is front of your face the whole entire time so you will easily be able to see the difference in detail very easily.

As such, this update is not only adding more details to the rifles (which you will notice when you are holding the rifles) its also very much about increasing FPS and as such, its about killing two birds with one stone.

I wasn't aware that there were multiple models, that makes perfect sense then. What type of performance boost can we expect, only a couple of FPS?

The marskman rifle is in the works, but it doesn't share any parts with the other rifles, so was left out this time around. We have people working on it currently though, and in terms of infantry equipment, be patient. We are not giving the chinese their biggest update of all time without doing it properly
