Yes.

Very much. Yes.

I would argue it is complete, and definitely worth purchasing if very long range sniping is your thing.

[Khobai]

Yeah its great now.

[Hexenhammer]

Screen shots. Post'em if you got 'me.

[Team Leader]

Can someone post screens maybe? I dont need the old one, just the new one. In fact, for anyone curious for a side by side, use this as reference:

[___....__]
[__...o....]
[___::..::_]


(thats an awesome locked in your sights btw )

Oddly, it's clearer in lower settings, but this is in the higher graphic settings:


Normal Zoom:



Max Normal Zoom:


With Zoom Module:


And just in case you didn't see the target (as it is too far away to lock, lol):




Sniping just got a little harder- and a little easier at the same time.

(EDIT: Working on low settings versions at this moment)

Round 2: Lower Settings

Normal View:



Max Normal Zoom:


With Zoom Module:


And once again if you had difficulty seeing the target:



It's definitely an improvement.

Holy... wow. Its actually not a load of {Scrap} anymore! Good job PGI!

I don't have screens. How about a video?



Testing ground, of course. It's good enough fidelity to work with now.

thats what the gauss looks like lol I thought they were trying to make stuff easier on colorblind players

I want to make a qUiCkSc0P3~m0nTaG3 using this.



I have found it particularly difficult to put into practice, however.

Smexy!

[DocBach]

It's like this last patch has been really good on all fronts for me. I'm glad they gave me an invite to their launch party after a patch like this so I have positive stuff to talk about instead of just dumping everything I don't like on them over beer!

It's awesome now. Only took a couple hundred years, but Advanced Zoom module finally works.

Now I just gotta brush the dust off the one I have and figure out which mech i want to keep it in.

[yashmack]

I feel like a real sniper now... lol
I love advanced zoom once again

there are still 2 problems with advanced zoom

1: Mouse sensibility doesn't decrease when using the module, making it difficult to get a perfect shot

2: the targeting square is more of a detriment than anything else. They should simply add a red lining around the mech profile so you know who you have targeted.

1: I could see that being a good addition in the future.
2: Could you clarify what you mean? I don't agree with what I think you are saying here. (But rather than go straight to "no you're wrong" I want to make sure I know what you're saying.)

well, the target square is a big detriment when using advanced zoom. I usually hit the target button again to make sure I don't have those squares on the target I want to shoot. If the game could instead make the silhouette of the mech red, so you know it's a) you're target and b ) an enemy and not an ally, it would be easier to use. I don't really know how to describe it better, blame it on the language barrier (not a native english speaker ). It still would have to be subtle, otherwise it would be another detriment to target someone in while "advanced zooming".

I don't like the idea of silhouetting the target because it **** the shooter in a style similar to world of tanks, where camouflage was simply an aesthetic..

[XSerjo]

Meh, it's still not PIP. And mouse sensitivity still screwed. And we still don't have clear picture.

Simple full-screen 4xZOOM will solve these issues.
