Laser sight on the M14.

[HeatSurge]

M14 owns. HOWEVER, it's really annoying that every time you pull it out, the laser sight is off, so you have to turn it on again - even after you quick-heal I think (not sure)... and for sure, after you heal a teammate. It just gets a bit old to heal someone, pull out the M14 and have to turn it on again. Can you please make it remember the last state it was in, OR even have it on by default? I don't see why anyone would like to play with it off... it can only help with aiming.

And if someone does play with it off - the minority can suffer turning it off all the time instead :-P .

Good idea, though it makes me think of a weird situation.
"They're too close to the M14, switching to the pistol!"
"Ralph...why are your pants glowing red?"
"Oh god, no! It's too early! Not now!"
"I think it's just the laser sight is still on."
"Oh. Uh....yeah....that's right. Um..."

*lol* That is something to consider when thinking about realism. The one situation I would like to be changed is when you heal yourself, your gun gets lowered for 2 seconds, and the laser sight is off once the gun is back up. I don't believe someone would turn their sight off when simply healing themself, especially in a situation where they're under attack and will need to use it again immediately.

I don't switch to the pistol even if they're close... and I don't mind my pants glowing red . It's a game after all... how realistic is playing with friendly fire off and shooting yourself up with DRUGZ NAO continuously for an hour after being eaten / cut with chainsaws / burned etc.?

Not very.

I want my laser sight on by default...

No such thing as too close to the EBR

Also, another thing. It's too hard to see the sight from further away and on certain maps where the overall environment is reddish.

Maybe it's more "realistic" that way, but it's still slightly annoying that you can't "find" it further away sometimes... and for the color issue, maybe there should be a way to select between green, red, and blue laser sight? That would rock!

Yes it gets annoying from time to time. It even goes off when you are throwing grenade!

Gets annoying as hell after you had to switch it back on for like 1000 times after healing or even throwing a grenade.
Also does anyone notice the dot is kinda like magneticly attracted to your buddies? Whenever you point at a friend it stays on him in the same place till you turn for lets say almost 90 degree. Gets confusing when you want to shoot past someone but the dot doesnt let go of him. 0.o
