SkItZo1041 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 The ups and downs of scoping out or flinching: Flinching lets you focus more on finishing someone off, as you don't have to scope out. This makes DMR vs Sniper battles a bit easier for the sniper, and other things obviously. If a persons teammate tries to save them by shooting you, you can still probably get that last shot off, which is a great relief. However, with flinching it is much easier to put yourself at risk. Sometimes while scoped in about to shoot someone, you'll totally forget about your surroundings. If you do, you can get shot at and not even realize it until your shields drop. Also, in the heat of the moment you can forget about your own well-being and focus more on finishing someone off, rather than turning and running if you're getting shot at. Scoping out is nice, because you get to turn and run whenever you get shot at from the side/back etc.. It's much safer. Also, if there is a sniper camping in a corner somewhere and you can't get to a sniper yourself, it's nice to be able to just keep firing at them so they can't focus in on a shot at you. On the other hand, you can't always finish someone off like you can with flinching only. And we can't forget the ever popular occasion... when you're trying to scope out, you get shot, then you end up scoping back in, and repeat. I HATED that. It's hard to pick a side really, but I seem to die a couple more times with flinching, and sick of snipers wrecking me while I have a DMR, so I think I'd have to side with scoping out on this one.

slovvmow Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I really hate flinching and I hope they'll change how it works somehow. Like really scoping in now is practically useless (except swat), even in long range because if the other person hits you once you have to back out.

TornadoFlame Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 you should be benefited for shooting the guy first to a degree it makes the dmr more op. i don't like scoping in on team snipes only to get shot and my sniper look 10 feet into the air just so i die again.

LiQuid BioniX Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I prefer scoping out, but all in all it is becoming the same thing. You get shot, you flinch, but you still zoom out and take cover. It's more or less the same mechanic in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoFlame Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 well with scoping out when shot you are able to attempt to get a no scope off at the last second with flinching your better off just sitting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudDrunkIrish Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 The flinching is something that annoyed me at the start of this game, prefered the old zoom out, still do. Maybe its just because I am not used to it!! But personally I prefer scope it as it means sniping has to be done far better and a team can negate the enemy sniper (something I liked). Zoom out makes sniping more of an art form and helps you know when someone is hitting you from another angle. That said they cannot really change it in H4 but mazybe they will for H5. Just my thoughts I am sure there are others who prefer the new system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiQuid BioniX Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I think people will get used to it. It'll be fine for this game and it doesn't effect the play that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
