Breathing or no breathing?

When scoping in with a sniper, do you like having the breathing system (Like in CoD/MAG etc.) Or having no breathing system like in the battlefields?

I guess i rather holding breath instead of just staying static like Army of two or Rainbow six, that makes it a bit more complicated yet it's more realistic, in GoW they balance this by making 1 shot rifles, while in CoD and Battlefield you can make several shots depending on the weapon.

You are now breathing manually.

Breathing all the way. No offense, but sniping in Battlefield is so steady it requires no skill to hit your mark.Black_Knight_00

Except that in battlefield you have to take into account bullet drop and leading your target.

The sniper rifle bullet in COD apparently travels at the speed of light and ignores gravity.

In BC hardcore, there's no "spotting" ... so no big red triangle over the sniper's head, there's no kill cam, and I'm pretty sure every sniper shot is a one-hit kill in HC. It's a sniper's dream, and not something I'm really interested in.

well in real life if you're looking down a sniper scope can you not keep it steady? i don't know, because i've never even fired a real gun before, but i like it better to now have the sway.

Either way is pretty much fine with me.

Sniping is for sissies. :P

Agreed. The sniping and breathing in COD is meh. i'll take BF's bullet drop and travel time over it everyday of the week.

optimally i would love all 3 (breathing, bullet drop, travel time)

You were the one who started talking about ohk's in bc2 hardcore mode. Yes in hc you can just shoot someone in the leg and kill them but not in the 'normal' game everyone plays. If you had actually played the game you would have known that in bc2 you don't just run your crosshairs over a far away target and pull the trigger, you apparently have no idea how precise your bullet drop must be. Believe me if you try shooting someone standing still in bc2 for the first time you will miss 5 times before that headshot. Not to mention a moving target where you have to take bullet travel into account.

[QUOTE="Black_Knight_00"] Yeah but this thread is about steady aim sniping VS shaky-hold breath sniping and my point is: anyone can hit a target with steady sniping, while it takes some skill to compensate the shake and dose the breath. Whether it's a one hit kill or not is trivial.Black_Knight_00

The head IS the target, always. and in bc2 it can be pretty hard to hit it even without breathing shake.PetJel

It depends how its implemented in various games. COD does a good job with the breathing system, otherwise it would be far too easy getting kills ;)

Considering most games take a very loose definition of "realistic" and I'm fine with that, I don't care if the system will make it closer to real life. It depends on whether or not it fits in with the game as a whole. If the game is meant to be fast and furious, then I don't think it works. If the game is after a slower, more immersive feel then I think it works well. Slapping random things into a game for the sake of realism is a pretty silly reason if you ask me.
