So attaching a laser sight to your gun makes you move faster in ADS with scar. Equping aim enhance + Laser sight makes you even faster.

Bug or feature.

thanks for letting us know bitey
I'll be sure to check out this new feature to the max.

Ok, can I ask one question?
Is it actually backed up by concrete data? or speculation?
I use it but I couldn't quite feel the advantage other than less spread + more accurate aim in ADS = less time taken to kill subject.

I really don't think laser makes you faster or with aim enhance... because the mobility bar is all about energy drain not speed as far as I know... Ifthat was true then a scar with no attachments with aim enhance would be the fastest.

We are having some discussions about this for a long time... personally I think if you use it (aim enh + laser) the scar gets way too overpowered, so its a bug for me. I was looking forward to see this combo banned in the tournament.
I have a class without aim enh. and even this feels pretty strong...

Basically scar, scarab is strong spray friendly very accurate weapon.

In cost of accurate aim in ADS, less spread, less muzzle kickback, player using these module and attachment should sacrifice heavily on other factors.

1. Laser enables opfors to ID your current location even in mid range, and in Nanovision, laser really stands out making laser user pretty easy target.
unlike crysis warhead, laser makes you a really easy target even in mid range.

2. Using laser attachment make stealth function is pretty much useless, as laser vividly shows the player's location with or without nanovision, so the user should move tactically, can't run around freely like stealth function users.

3. opportunity cost of sacrificing other handy mods as weapon pro, mobility pro.
As a result of choosing aim enhance, you will move slower, change mags slower, and your transition to ADS is slower.
If you want mobility with aim enh. then you should absolutely choose Nano recharge, so there go other opportunity costs again not being able to choose armor mod, or anything else.

Overall, using aim enhance + laser comes with understandable amount of disadvatages, so it's risk heavy choice which explain its perks.

^i agree with this. i'm a stealth person so i never put laser on any of my weapon. i've tried feline with laser but it didn't get anywhere people can spot me from across the map...

Silence!!!! No one shall question Bitey's wisdom!!!!
Lolz

i play with both scarab and scar with aim enhance and lasers and i honestly feel that the scarab plays faster....so...yah...hmm...
clinical testing is required
we will need a map with some road lines as a test zone to compare loadouts.

im sure every one here can agree on one thing:
weapon balancing is needed for almost all weapons.

But the same arguement can be made with any weapon with laser sight, I've been using feline with laser since day 1 of crysis 2 and still I use it. If I was to throw aim enhance on that class, I'd be doing the exact same as the scar players with it... No point singling out the Scar here. Scarab and laser sight is the exact same as the Scar setup.

The scar is either broken or has a hidden feature or all lasers have a hidden feature. The laser sight increasing ADS movement speed weather it's a bug or not doesnt matter it simply makes you slightly faster. Along with aim enhance it further increases the speed.

Despite all the ''disadvanteges'' of the laser sight, the BUG we're talking about here is when you equip a laser sight on a SCAR. JUST THE SCAR. Your strafe speed in ADS will increase dramatically. It's not meant to do this, but it does. And if you slap on aim enhance there it will increase the already bugged up ADS strafe speed further, which boosts the speed up to ridiculous levels.

No, the same argument can't be made to any weapon, since the laser only bugs the strafe speed with the SCAR.

I use laser sight on my SCAR and my Feline and Scarab aswell and let me tell you it doesnt make u faster! iya you have less spread and more accuracy but thats all.

bitey mad cuz no can hit aim enchance users 2:)

Ok, I just experimented 3 major assault rifle strafing speed on empty server.

condition
testing 3 rifels with same module set up.
nano recharge + visor enhance + aim enhance
scar, scarab, grendel was tested how fast player can strafe when in ADS with or without armor mode on.


1. scar with only laser attachment does showed about 1.2 times or little but noticeably faster strafing movement speed than scar with no attachment with armor mode on or off.

2. grendel with or without laser attachment showed no difference in strafing speed with armor mode on or off.

3. scarab with or without laser attachment showed no difference in strafing speed with armor mode on or off.


Everything is based on speculation, strafing speed was not exactly timed on any other application, though scar does show faster strafing speed with laser attachment and aim enhance module that other 2 rifles didn't

So my former mention on scar not having issue with laser + aim enhance seems to be wrong.

I will try this out. Sounds like op lol


Thanks for the in game tips btw @ bitey (accuracy) it works. sorry to bother u ingame.
