hi everyone i just noticed something in my game i dont know if it is a glicth or maybe my game is screwed up but! i noticed that on the sniper that he has no aiming hud while carrying the sniper. only when i am zoomed in with the sniper does he have the aiming hud but if you are not zoomed in then there is no aim hud. is it supposed to be like that?
thanks:)

It's meant to be like that, it was in SWBF1, It's just because you aren't meant to fire it without zoom or something.

hi MC thanks for the quick reply. ya i noticed that in swbf1 you had it but in this one you dont and i actually would like it cause the sniper is powerful and in those instances where you run into someone you can quickly blast them instead of having to zoom first. but just too clarify this is in your swbf2 game as well not just mine?

Yes it is in my game, it just seems like they're simply encouraging the use of the scope with the rifle.

well, I think its kinda stupid cause:
1) sniper is already toned down, being without prone and the dread orbital (if you ever played BF2)
2) such "defect" can easily be fixed with a piece of tape on the monitor.

I don't think anyone is that desperate.

I have been doing well without using the tape (which is cheating). The sniper should really have the aiming hud or a more powerful pistol.

There is an aiming HUD in the Xbox version...which one are you playing?

on my freinds ps 2theres a hud
i think its like mines
pc gets less

The sniper doesn't have an aiming hub on the PC when the unit is not zoomed in.

PS2 versions have quite a few things different I think, then again I am smart enough not to buy a PS2 version...

And like it or not, unless they add the targeter back in, tape is the only way. and Snipers need all the help they can get in BF2, they lost their recon droids already, and also the crawling mode... and their award weapon is craap.

And everyone is so fast, that you need a medal for scoring kills in the first place...

More PS2 bashing, from what i've heard the PS2 differences seem to be an improvement to the other versions.
Sniper sights when not in zoom, standable vehicles, not that smart are you.

i want 4 mines
also i agree, everything needs to s l o w down

standable vehicles?

By the way, the "crawling mode" is called prone.

PS2 has the best control scheme for a start. The x-box controller was designed by Microsoft and it shows. I mean, what's with the squidgy buttons? I can't tell if I should press too hard or not...

Not really PS2 bashing, I like PS2.

I say that mainly cause LA basically abandon any aftersale service to PS2, which is forseeable before even the game is out...

PC would always get more community support, just cause making mods for a PC is way easier.

But yeah, if BC version can be like PS2 then most of my complain would be gone.

PC usually get more community support?? Who's got the better update so far? :P

well... definitely not PS2!!!

Oh, and once the mod tools are out, thats when the real game begins.

It was X-Box. :P And when the Mod tools come out... I'll be a year older and SWBF3 will be well on it's way.

and redtech is... wrong again

Stop looking into the mirror. I don't remember you contributing anything useful in discussion for a while now.

Tell me, with your elite knowledge then, where are the Mod tools?

A lot of people are waiting.

Wow, we are off the topic: :snipe1:

Sadly, haven't got the traditional "tool of the year award" from planetcnc.com which I could give myself. :P OK, I concede there with pants over my ankles.

Actually, better re-install, I've got some stuff to build!

This thread was about snipers?
Y'know, if the units were sorted out better, there wouldn't be a need to take out the scope.

lets put the scope back then, The little tape on my screen is annoying when I am doing other stuff.
