I'm with Warranto. I don't mind clearscope as real scopes aren't all green. The problem with removing the black is that it simulates what you can't see down the scope. It would make sense if there was a giant box on top of the scope that you look into and it magnifies and plays it on a 17"CRT monitor... Very Happy

It's a foreign file that gives you an advantage against other players. What more needs to be said?

I'd let the one that just removes the green go, but the one that removes the both the black and green....well, as Dave would say, the banlist would get longer.

Well if you put it that way foreign aiming reticles would be a cheat? :rolleyes:

He didn't say all foreign files, he said foreign files that give the person an ADVANTAGE. Recticles all do the same thing, they help you aim. They don't increase your accuracy any, so therefore it's not an advantage.

Reticles are just there for looks, I don't think they actually give you an advantage. The only part of the reticle that matters is the little dot, and that's there no matter which reticle you have.

I use it, on my computer with a 15" monitor, so its compensation...I'd call that fair. Honestly you should be able to see anything moving whether your in scoped view or not. It doesn't benefit good snipers much at all

once again, clearscope only helps if you have the aim and skillz to back it up. I think these threads about "Limiting Sniper Count" and "Is Clearscope a cheat?" is just plain jealousy to people who own you time and time again. Plain and simple, clearscope doesnt give you any more of an advantage as a different reticle, bright green 500 skin, or even a different scope. All it is, plain and simple is cosmetic, i have seen no difference in my kill count since installing clearscope.

Snipers who sit there zoomed all the time suck, for several reasons, in my opinion. I only zoom when I'm ready to make a shot, and even then I don't always do it. So for me, it wouldn't make much of a difference. Zooming in, by itself, limits how much you see. I'm a spaz and like to be aware of everything, so I'm always looking everywhere, up, down, behind, left, right, etc...

Chrono, at least you get it. Scopes arent used very much if you are a good sniper, and i only use them if a sniper repeats the dodge he is doing, or someone is runing in a straight line. yet another reason why clearscope does not do anything but stop the annoyance of that green shit in your way.

i myself am not bothered by the removal of the tinted green bit but if the black bit is removed it does give a clear advantage.

Yeah, you can be my guest to rid of the green tint, but once you remove the black, you've crossed the line into having an unfair advantage over the other players.

if it gives an advantage, it isnt by much since most snipers dont use their scopes.

lol That's a good point. Few people use scopes anyhow. You have a reticle on the Renegade sniper rifles unlike in other games.

AGAIN- I think "clearscope" may be a misnomer here - the issue is the full field view -vs- the limited scope field rather than the simulated tint...

NOooo, please Mr. gbull don't deprive us of your infinite wisdom... Wink
Even though it may not make one a better sniper, the full field scope provides a defensive advantage in that peripheral threats are realized much earlier. Thus a player can disengage the scope & find refuge quicker.
As an offensive advantage, potential alternate targets can be recognized sooner w/ full field...I still would not designate it a "cheat" though.

There is no advantage to a good sniper, as they only use the scope for maximum of 2 seconds at a time - if not at all. Most decent snipers anticipate the opponents next move without even looking anyway - I know I do.
