[case1489]

that wood b much better then wot we got now

[Pathfinder]

Very nice, one would be much more accurate that way..
but ofc it's not as realistic as the other one.

...What? What other one? The one we have now?


No, it's definitely more realistic than the current setup...

[chrisweb89]

This is how they would aim it IRL, not have a hovering "crosshair" type image to the side showing where you should aim.

[killonsight95]

It would be nice if we just used the Free-aim option for a more fluid aiming expierence. But there would need to be labeled ranges on the leaf sight, In my opinion.

possibly good idea here lads
welcome to the forums have a nice time here and i hope you've read the rules

[DenvH]

Isn't it possible to adjust the range with the mousewheel and aim with your mouse like normal? I don't know if it's possible though because you use the mousewheel to switch weapons, but maybe there is a way to disable that menu when zoomed in on the gl sight??

[Iceberg]

looks awesome. the current gl sights are just a pain to use

[boilerrat]

I would agree with iceburg, hard to aim...

[Dev1200]

like ...bullet ricochetat 1:15...?

It's just a fake design. That bullet wouldn't actually hurt someone.

i disagree, they are very easy to use currently. Tho this new system looks alot better.

I am pretty sure they are real.

[Celestial1]

I wouldn't know, no one is ever on CA for me to shoot at*. That sentence makes me sad.







* because I have never attended one of the testing sessions because I'm infallibly busy these days.

no its real otherwise it wouldn't be able to destroy a house

[Redamare]

i vote ... add for next release

[Dev1200]

Bullet ricochet isn't in BF2, and can't be implemented, since there's isn't a ricochet system. However, you can make it appear to have that effect. Read about it on the combined arms threads.


However, reading through the comments of the video, the original poster said it's for the BF2142 engine, not the BF2 engine. So I'm wrong. The round did destroy the house, however it can't be put into PR unless PR goes to the BF2142 engine.

Remember those grenades? They also bounce around. Alex IIRC simply said in the CA thread that it would require alot more work to end up coding all the bullets to ricochet and so he used an effect as a placeholder.

Haha, you don't know how much you are wrong. A couple weeks ago, me and a buddy were playing Forgotten Hope 2 and were just goofing around in the base. I got bored and started shooting my K98k into the ground right below his feet, but not actually aiming at him. The bullet ricocheted and killed him instantly. I was shocked to find out that this feature was implemented, but ultimately we both had a good laugh.
