Unhandy Laser Sight is unhandy... Please fix, Crytek!

Post » Wed Mar 16, 2011 2:07 am

Sooooo...

I just got the SCARAB and I wanted to use it with the Laser Sight in the Multiplayer... I was terribly dissapointed, because the Laser Sight acts like it is a gamebreaker!

First Problem: It is barely visible in most maps. just slight red beam...

Second Problem: The hit marker also takes the view from the dot, that's irritating.

Third (and biggest) Problem: It won't stop wobbing around! In Singleplayer and several Multiplayer footages (official) the Weapon equipped with the Lasersight holds still, to give a more accurate aim. Why didn't you leave it like that? Now it is completely unusefull, because the dot is in a different location every nanosecond. and I mean VERY different location.

Fourth Problem: The "dot" is a square, in both single, and Multiplayer... It just looks ugly...

Fifth Problem: Simple Ironsight in SP, normal in MP... Please, please make an option to switch it on or off, in MP and SP, because I'd like to have normal Ironsight in SP, while having a Laser Sight on my weapon.

I hope you fix these things soon, probably with other issues and bugs, and the hacker problem. I hope.

it has been off center for most of my guns. the only weapon with the laser that aims straight is the ay69, for me anyways

Its so broke it isnt even funny...

I laugh at most people using them as you alway see the red beam, giving away their position and giving you the drop on them.

There is not advantage to it whatsoever

There is. Like a hard spraying weapon when shooting from the hip becomes a pin-point killing machine... If it wouldn't wobb around so hard.

Weapons barely have any ADS recoil anyway so why would you want to give your position away in return for hip accuracy?

Because SCARAB + Lasersight is OP... When I then don't have to waste the Energy Perk for Pointfire Enhancement and rather take Mobility Enhancement, Running, Sliding, Jumping around, nevers stopping, never have to ADS and still get fast kills is just awesome. It kinda worked yesterday evening... 25/3 in IA with that thing.

You can see it shining across the map. It basically screams "Hey come shoot me" I love people running around in stealth with a laser sight :D

Err... The beam disappears when you go cloaked... What you mentioned was a problem in Crysis 1/Wars, but in C2 it surely disappears...

Update: The Laser only works properly with the SCAR, but every other weapon is bugged when using the laser. Please fix, Crytek!

When the beam is on the target the bullets actually hit aside. If you want to check the gap between where the shots land and where the laser beam is, try this simple thing: Glare at the dot, then iron sight. You'll see moreso gaps on every weapon.

Don't use laser on the pistols (haven't tried with AY69 thinking it would be the same prob), you'll keep wondering why it didn't hit the opponent where your beam was on him everytime...

Only good part is the spread reduction regardless, so using iron sights with basically makes any shot almost a 100% garanteed hit from nearly nonexistent spread.

It isn't. It is more helpfull then smashing your gun in your face just to get a proper aiming.

It's strange. When you use the laser sight and go cloaked it seems like the laser is turned off, however I noticed on some guy's killcam the other day that it could still be seen.

Don't know if it's a bug or what.
