<div class="IPBDescription">Can you use it or is it gone?</div>I was looking at some screenshots for the LMG and i saw a scope on the model, can you use it or is it just for show? or was it taken out and changed....

JediYoshi · August 2002

Artistic liecense, just like the akimbo style Heavy Marine.

C0nan_The_Librarian · August 2002

aww dang, for some reason i just wanted to have a gun that zoomed...too much awping in cs.....

def_one · August 2002

sniping wouldnt do you much good in the world of NS anyways.

C0nan_The_Librarian · August 2002

it would still be fun.

JediYoshi · August 2002

Na, then their would have to be more work done. What's funner, waiting more or playing? <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

C0nan_The_Librarian · August 2002

point taken...playing would be funner

You're welcome to zoom in while playing NS... meanwhile, I'll be sneaking up on your sorry insufficiently-armored @$$ from behind.

Oh wait, you're *not* welcome to zoom, because there's no zooming. And trust me, you'll never miss it.

JediYoshi · August 2002

Bah, so much taken out of a regular MOD, that's what makes this one pwn.

one possible problem with artistic liscence here:

i am dreading the amount of newbies who will be spamming "Hey man, how do i zoom my gun?<img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>"

Sadly, I can see this happening . . however, I dont think its worth implementing a scope in the LMG. Hey! maybe we could put a scope on the LMG with such a huge zoom that, when a player uses it, they can literally see 1 inch of the area they could see unzoomed. Heh heh, lets see a player fight with THAT! Really though, I love the way the LMG looks with the scope. Perhaps we could include "zoom deactivated for indoor use" in the tooltip, or something to that nature.

To roughly quote my self:
</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td><b>Quote</b> </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">The LMG is the marines all purpose weapon. It is designed to do a number of tasks, from close urban fighting, to rain forest skirmishes, to tight fighting aboard a space station. In some of these situations a scope can be quite useful, but in situations where would not do much good (I.E. all NS levels) it is disabled to prevent someone fresh out of boot camp (I.E. a newbie) trying to snipe a skulk at a range of 3 metres and closing.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

Drake_Kurthem · August 2002

I have a feeling that playing as the marine will be spooky enough, we don't need a field of view constrction too?!?! <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':asrifle:'> <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':tiny:'>

Battousaix · August 2002

heh u dont have enough time to snipe, ns is an action pack, u keep runing from place to place, shooting, building until u die, then u respawn (and the cycle goes on)
the point is that the maps dont have a good place to snipe......... u get pwned by all the aliens if u get a sniper rifle anyways, sniper would weight a lot, u would be slow, aliens chomp, u are dead <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Eos · August 2002

They made it so guns don't have a "Secondary Fire".

BathroomMonkey · August 2002

I put the scope on there because I had some extra polys and I think scopes look cool <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

But to rationalize it to myself, I said that the primary reason the optical pieces were there were to capture and relay visual data to the computer system bolted to the side, which tracks and fires at aliens when the marine goes into overwatch mode. Sure, there's an eyepiece for the marine, but it's just in case he's curious about what the computer sees.

Anything to help me sleep at night.

Hida_Tsuzua · August 2002

Bah, true snipers do it without scopes! All you need is a steady hand. I do often in Deus Ex, and when I did play DoD. Then again, you almost never have a chance to snipe in NS. Those aliens more far to fast, and react. On the other hand, spray and praying works 50/50.

Truewrestler · August 2002

after NS is released, this topic is going to come up every week until the scope is removed

Cypher_X · August 2002

Does anyone know if the FOV commands have been disabled in NS or not?

reeves · August 2002

this may be a dumb question but what is awp?

JediYoshi · August 2002

An awp is that green sniping gun in CS. Muchly overused and perfected, making it very annoying considering it either kills you the first shot, or slows you down, and their second shot is easy.

Bill · August 2002

Eck I'm so sick of the Sniper Rifle trend in games today, every single game seems try and work one in some way. Which might be okay, but they always become the most overused gun in every game mostly because they're implented wrong and are basically railguns with a scope.

Snake13 · August 2002

I have a simple explanation, its not a scope its simply a reflex sight with a hud (which would explain why you have a crosshair and hud)

Longtooth · August 2002

Reflex sights have an open top, they are like 2 little pastic or metal rods with a peice of glass inbetween, there is a projecter in front of the glass which lights the retical onto it.

Scope on lmg.
