Wallbanging (sniper), general ironsights gameplay tweak idea.

(Raviolay) #1

Just a thought, instead of holding breath to steady, how about when scoped you hold shift. Then a bar moves along in the bottom right of the scope, after 3.5 seconds it, when full it will flash. If you release shift and fire, the round will wallbang, and/or do extra damage.

Also I have been playing the Arma 3 alpha, while getting my head around the controls. I found Armas Ironsight mechanics intriguing, and had a thought about DB. In Arma you can Ironsight with little or no FOV change, and then zoom to a more traditional view. I am thinking that maybe, if when you hold the RMB the Ironsights will pull up with no FOV adjustment. An also you have no movement penalties, however you can now hold shift while in ADS to lower your FOV and zoom. Albeit this will affect your movement speed as it does currently.

Thoughts?

I like the idea of opening with minimal zoom and scroll in

Frankly, I wish they would get rid of iron sights all together and make the weapons more accurate. I’m sick of all the iron sight fps’ out there now.

Making the bullets ricochet or do extra damage I don’t really like. Interesting concept but I don’t think it works for DB.

not iron sights, telescopic sights

Anything would be better than the way they work now.

Doubt that zoomin IS will work in DB. DB is just so much faster than Arma, it’s totally different gameplay. There will be just no time to press first IS button then wheel or button to zoom in. You need to be able to fire right at the same time you pressed IS button, else enemy is already behind you :slight_smile:

Unfortunately i only have 4 fingers on my left hand.
2 for left/right
1 for foward/back
1 my pinky for crouch.

so unless you can grow me another finger its a bit of an issue.

Wallbang: No, it’s not CS here.

Why would you use iron sights without fov zoom?? Makes no sense to me.

No loss of movement speed there are going to be A LOT of people who will play this game, who have ADS ingrained in how they play.

You won’t be zoomed in when you ADS, and suffer no movement penalty, only when you hold another key. So you can CQC with hip fire players in ADS if that’s what your used to. However if your shooting at range you can zoom as per usual holding another key like shift, this would also make scope attachments like ACOG’s get more use. As there is no doubt that scopes will be monetised is some fashion, and if I have paid for a fancy looking scope dot I would like to see it as often as possible.

Sorry to hear that, do you have a mouse like a Naga Hex? I would be lost without mine.
