The Scope On The Lmg

Redeye · June 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Probably asked before but..</div> Why did the NS crew put a scope on the lmg if you can't get it to work, and in 1.1 will you be able to use it?

For design maybe? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Because it looks good.

I have not heard anything about a zoom feature being added to the LMG in 1.1, nor would it be all that usefull what with it's spread and all.

Spare polys and the top looked bare. Plus, there was the overwatch mode, and I had rationalized it that there must be some way for the gun itself to scan the immediate area.

But we've had to answer the question so many times that I assure you-- the lmg is going over a minor overhaul, and in the new version, the scope is much less scope-ish. More like an onboard computer for the gun.

ohhh, cool

also if you read the manual it is a 'scope' however it is disabled to keep jar heads from attempting to use it in a SPACESTATION against things that move at LUDICRUS SPEED! (MY GOD, they've gone to PLAID!)

Woot!
I've got a developer to answer my thread!

Just pretend that the scope is actually the motion sensor.

Now you don't have to worry why there is one there. Its for motion sensing <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Good point, its just that it looked so much like a scope I was interested.

I know the result is going to be sweet!

Cereal_KillR · June 2003

yeah I want a scope too so I can pwn liek wit teh AWP

LazerMane · June 2003

yeah sure, the last thing we need is snipers on the marine side. EVERYONE knows that snipers do not encourage people to go it alone, but rather it makes them feel like a greater team.

I would love to see marines zoomed in trying to peck away at alien devices that are close enough in these tightly spaced maps to be seen with the naked eye anyway, so i can sneak up behind them and have a boot sammich.

I love this movie.

Oh, the scope is there because the gun looks 'naked' without it. Kind of a silly reason until you see the 'naked' gun. I s'pose they shoudl remodel the LMG, but they don't have time right now.

I don't take credit for it, found it on bash.org (down right now, they've been having severe hosting problems) but I laughed my **** of when I read it.

Tyrain · June 2003

Marine01 damn that's a great sig ^^

But hey.... we germans aren't that bad.... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'>

Marine0I · June 2003

eheheheh thanks - but like switch i also cant take credit for it.

Yeah i know Germans arent all that bad - hell all i gotta do is look u lads up on the map, put my finger on ur country then move my finger 2cm left to realise that compared to some Euro countries you guys rock <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Cereal_KillR · June 2003

I find that highly offensive Marine

RyoOhki · June 2003

Leave your anti-French crap at the door Marine. So they voiced opposition to your country's totally illegal invasion of Iraq. This isn't the place to discuss it, nor should you voice such blatent racist views on this forum.

Redeye · June 2003

Aha, I see my topic has turned into a slag fest, admins, pls close this topic now thank you.

lolfighter · June 2003

How comes it that EVERY TIME countries are mentioned we start flaming each other? Can't we just be nice for a change?

RyoOhki · June 2003

Because inevitably someone makes a comment like this:

Whoa, completely off topic...

Anyway, I kind of liked the scope on the lmg. I mean, sure you couldn't use it, but it made it look more, well complete.

Talesin · June 2003

Seems like the topic has been answered.

<span style='color:red'>*Locked.*</span>

And as a sidenote, I have no problem with Marine01's sig, personally. However, I do notice (unless it's well-hidden sarcasm) a degree of hypersensitivity any time France is mentioned, for any reason. Wheras the sig contains the same (low) degree of racism, it's all in the interests of actual humor, and is not a joke as a vehicle for bigotry.
