Bring back the tri-zoom GLTD! Why, WHY was this removed?

it only had a 2 levels on it not 3
if it is brought back it should increase imededtly not slowly zoom in as its brought up

Only ever had two zoom levels.

It had three iirc.. unzoomed, then two levels of zoom.

LOL then it has 2. unzoomed doesnt count because it doesnt zoom at all

Yea I want it back as-well, its hard to spot with this one, its like spotting with a sniper scope.

It did have 2 levels of zoom. Something like a marksman level of zoom and then something thats farther than a sniper scope. I find the GTLD almost impossible to use on the fly. It just narrows your field of view way too much. I can't imagine the real one is that restrictive. But if it is... well I say screw reality cause its better for the gameplay to have the old style.

I agree that the multi zoom should be re-implemented. I now only use the GLTD for extreme distance recon (of course I still use the LT part of it) or for when I can't get a positive ID on an enemy, when he's really close, with the scope.

The zoom is simply too much to only have one level for it

It is a bit OTT for one level of zoom, you locate a target, you zoom, and you got to spend precious seconds finding the damn thing again in the tiny FOV. If it can only have 1 level of zoom, then it should be zoomed out a small margin, about 0.8x what it is now, I reckon

its no harder than using binocs....

Binos zoom less if I am not mistaken.

+1

Please make old GLTD come back.

RUDD - it is and it's less useful than was before.

Some people seem to state otherwise, me included.

The real life system that it is modeled after only has a fixed-power zoom.

I didnt find anything mentioning the zoom capabilities of the device :

pretty sure it got removed because of people with older computers it crashed on them but i agree that it is way harder to spot with now and is less useufl than it was before

Sighting optics: Power 10X

doesn't this refer to it? I guess it has no level by level zooms but something like digital zoom. I guess

That'd be correct. Well, [R-DEV]Eddie Baker pretty much crushed this suggestion.
