Can We Have Sniper Rifle Scopes That We Can Zoom In On?

I don’t really see the harm since in Dirty Bomb everyone moves really fast and the only way to one shot anyone is to headshot them (except for Rhino) or bodyshot them if they are already damaged significantly. Now I know there will be people saying, “but that will make the snipers even more OP!!!” Well, when you zoom in, your crosshair is more sensitive when you move around.
Anyways, what do you guys think, should we have sniper scopes that can zoom in maybe like 3x?

It’s really not a good idea to give any extra zoom to the scopes - Vasilli is my favourite merc but he’s already a little overpowered. He doesn’t need to be made any more effective.

A bodyshot can already put a merc to a really low health, I wouldn’t wanna make that easier for Vassilis.

dont see how zoom-in would ever help you in this game.

Why is it more sensitive? that’s just bad game design. There’s only decent two ways of dealing with zoom sensitivity. Either you don’t scaled it at all (which I personally hate), or you scale it 1:1 with FoV. Changing it to an arbitrary value is just bad. And changing it to an arbitrary value and then not scale it as you change the zoom level is even worse. It makes it inconsistent and fucks with your muscle memory.

Nah, if they want to add variable zoom they need to make it scale with the zoom level.

Personally I’m not against this, we had it in UT and in Tribes, different games, but whatever.

This doesn’t really seem necessary.
