    It's never, ever, ever ever going to be functional, before you ask <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    im pretty sure they are taking that off in the next client side patch <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> also this quote confirms it <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->InGaming : There have been quite a number of small things such as the LMG having a scope but not being able to use it. Will small things such as that be changed and will new weapons be introduced in later versions of Natural Selection?

    Flayra : BathroomMonkey is rather sick of hearing about the scope issue and yes...he's reworked it already. It's funny how the simplest of things can grow into something rather big and unpleasant. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I'm not sure if that will make it in 1.1 though, I'm guessing that will be the next release after it. I don't have plans at this time to add more weapons, but I'm sure we'll see some new ones at some point in the future.

    Yes, they've wanted to fix that so people would stop wondering. They didn't fix it into 2.0. Maybe the fix will find its way into 2.1.

    it would have to be a client patch b/c servers cannot do that...a new model will be needed and just replace the old one

    you cant blame ppl for asking, i mean the thing is rather big right infront of your nose, i cant think of a game that has a scope that you cant use, i dont mind the scope but its rather awkward for it to be so obviouse yet you cant use it

    Its not a scope.. its a Sensor! For the minimap data. Just like the helmet laser.
    and 2.1 will probably end up being a client side patch as Flayra has requested for mappers to post some of their pretty maps on the mapping forum, to be included in 2.1... or thats how I read it.. there is a slim chance I'm wrong.

    ummmm....have you ever played CS since the betas? The m4a1 that they show w/ the Reflex sight on it (including in the kill sprite) does NOT have a functional scope. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • MrKNifeyMrKNifey Join Date: 2003-06-25 Member: 17668Members
    That's why you get a custom m4a1 model in CS, so you can have a p and w model that has no scope, and looks nicer, too.

    haha well howcome it wont ever be funtional? that would be really cool if it could zoom like 2x or somthing for those far away shots... or if it had a alternate fire, wich was slower more accurate and like burst fire and did more dmg but had to be zoomed? I guess that should go in the Feedback forum but, yeah...Quote was from here

    There will also never, ever, ever, ever be secondary fire, or any kind of sniping weapon. Check out the suggestions and ideas forum's FAQ <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The scope gives off radiation, and shoots blinding lasers, You don't want to look in it, you might go blind!
    Thats why no one looks through it, even though its on the gun!
    Don't Blame Flayra, Blame BRM, he designed the Gun, hes the one who put all the radiation in the scope!

    Whatever that thing is a scope or a sensor it will never get a 2x or 3x zoom because in the suggestions forums it says very clearly "No Snipers,mind control abilities and no vehicles".

    Oh Btw havent you noticed that the Light machine gun looks like the German Fg-42 u get in Para maps?

    another thing you should consider is that it MIGHT be a zero-magnification, illuminated-reticle scope... and,

    lo and behold

    there's the illuminated reticle, smack in the middle of your screen.

    badabing. case closed.

    If it bothers you that much there is a skin you cna get that is the LMG minus the scope. You can get it here

    under marine weapons and items

    wow, ive been playing ns for a bit of time now. yes befor 2.0 too. and haven't noticed the scope thingy...

    i mean, yes i know that theres something on top of lmg and that theres clip from the left side of it. and i can imagine it quite well. but never really thought about the scope. it was always a cool looking machine gun for me :]

    in short: i dont mind if theres a scope on it, and probably wouldnt want see it without. it looks cool
