Scope magnification?


Do we have any reason to speculate on what magnifications will be? Real life magnification tends to be much higher than games (except like Arma 2) at like x25 ,because real life has bigger maps than shooters

I'm guessing it will be a carbon copy of BF3's scopes.

I know that there are multiple scopes, and the one they had in the demo was at least x8,

Just about everything else gunplay wise is copying BF3, so I imagine this will too.

Why wouldn't they just adhere to the original PS zoom levels? They were sufficient.

x2, x4, x8, x16? IIRC... the Scout Rifle might've had x6, but I'm not sure.

2x, 4x, and 8x with a Bolt Driver sniper rifle. You also got 12x if you had the Range Magnifier implant.

hopefully there is a whole mess of them like straight red dot, holographics, 3x, 4x, 8x, 12x, etc...

i like having options :P oh i think they were implementing night time sights as well so there could be some really cool stuff they do with those too.
