I've recently unlocked this attachment and thought sod it, looks a lot like an ACOG scope which I never use. I mainly use RDS or holographic but this little beauty has saved my ass a lot on the battlefield. Yes, it improves your K/D considerably but you should not blame the scope but how the player using it behaves differently. Some people who love this scope would like it to be toned down a bit.
I've seen countless threads within BF3 PC forum that this attachment is "overpowered". It should be "nerfed" or completely taken out of the game. I haven't come across any of OG members complaining so I am assuming you've come across this attachment at some point and never thought of it, still yet to unlock it or haven't been on the receiving end of someone using this against you a lot.
I found it beneficial for several reasons without entirely abusing the scope which some people do.
-Assuming you're still alive and can aim back and see the direction the damage came from you can pinpoint the person wanting you dead. Without it, you'd be tapping Q and by the time you get to spot anyone, you're dead.
-Improves on how you look at your surroundings better, take metro for example, lots of cover from foliage, bushes etc you're likely to get picked off. A quick glance with this scope can save you.
-Metro underground, tunnels: It brightens dark places so you can see heat signatures of enemies.
Downside of this scope is its very shaky if you don't hold your breath, some say you don't need to as its very minimal, well I can say for targeting far ranges, you can tell when you have to and out of breath how uneasy it is to maintain aim. Burst fire could compensate if you're good at it under heavy fire.
One way DICE can make people happy is increasing the sway so its unmanageable without holding your breath. Have it somewhat useless in daylight but by a margin.
Your thoughts?
