Laser Sight Balance Suggestions

Post » Sun May 05, 2013 5:36 pm

We all hate it. The laser sight gives players an advantage that, quite frankly, leaves you with no reason NOT to use it. By that definition, its overpowered. I can hipfire and get hipfired from a range that ADSing isn't even 100% reliable. So why is the laser sight still so powerful? I think it needs a change. Myself and a few others have come up with ideas as to how to change the laser sight and keep it balanced. The list is as follows:

1: Make it function identically to the singleplayer campaign. In the campaign, you can't ADS with a laser sight, the screen is just a zoomed version of the hipfire. This prevents laser users from ADSing, meaning they need to choose their attachments wisely.

2: Make it more similar to BF3 or BO2. These games use the laser sight as a way to reduce hipfire spread. The hipfire is reduced, but its not pinpoint accurate. In my opinion, this works far better. The laser helps you get shots on a close range target easier, which is what it should do. This way, it has no effect at longer ranges.

3: Remove it from the game.

4: Keep it the way it is.


What do you guys think of these suggestions? What do you personally suggest be done to the laser sight?

Care to explain why? Are there any reasons why you think its balanced, or is it just because you prefer to use it? I use it pretty often, but I still feel like its unbalanced when I do.

You can laugh, but BF3 has good hipfire. Hipfire in closerange, ads on medium-long. Laser is not too visible, but it does a great job. It also blinds enemies a bit, if you aim them at head (like it's supposed to)...

Leave it untouched or make it an underbarrel attachment.

Reasons you say?

A: The laser the way it is is 1 of the trademarks of Crysis.
B: This is not camperfield 3 where everyone is forced to use ADS, Crysis has always been as much a hipfire game as ADS, very likely much more of a hipfire game. I don′t go to the BF3 forums and tell everyone they should nerf ADS because it′s 1000 times more powerful than its hipfire (and you know it is). And asking to nerf the laser here is like asking to put ADS and force us to use it on Quake.
C: If i wanted a change would be buff it again, it has been nerfed THREE TIMES.


And to make it clear once and for all for everyone who wants a copy of their BF3 with nanosuits: I don′t care you bought both games for the shinny graphics, THIS IS NOT BATTLEFIELD 3. So stop trying to make a copy of that game.


And yes, I′m ****ing pissed already.

We all hate it.

I admire you for holding back.








Ok now seriously when do we throw the nuke.

Why not just have the laser have no effect on spread.. like how a laser sight actually works?

No shooter needs to simulate correct aim, leave that to the player.

I've tried the Feline & Scar with & without the laser and they feel exactly the same to me. Mostly because both have iron sights. FY7 + laser didn't worked for me though.

So I really can't understand all this biching about the laser...

I don't really see what you're trying to say at all. ADS should be a lot more effective outside of immediate range because thats how weapons work. You can't accurately fire a weapon from the hip. It just doesn't work that way. A laser doesn't change the way a weapon works, it just gives you a more accurate picture of where you're aiming. That's what BF3 uses. People ADS in that game because you're supposed to ADS to be accurate with your weapon. And you guys are all the same, haha. All so insecure about Crysis being a "copy" of another game. It isn't. Changing the way the laser sight works to make it more balanced and realistic is a feature that I personally think will work well. If you don't hate it, you solely use it and nothing more. That's what I'm getting from you.

The way I'm seeing it, you despise ADSing. Wouldn't that lean you more towards option one? You win, because you can't ADS, you just get a more accurate picture of where you're hip-firing.

Actually I don't hipfire with any gun/loadout, I ADS all the time. Even with laser ;)
