Well, this isn't my idea, I must give due credit to the makers of Call of Duty 2 for this idea. In Call of Duty 2, the developers made a brilliant improvement many had not thought of when it came to sniper rifles and sights. They allowed the player some limited time to have their character hold its breath to steady the sights with the holding down of a key. I don't believe this was ever done before, and it was an incredible innovation. When thinking about it, it is common sense to hold ones breath when firing a single shot from a sniper rifle... I'm sure most would do it instinctively.
I understand that this could take quite a bit of time for development, but I feel this would be excellent to increase the realism of this already very realistic game. However, this may be best left to sniper rifles for practicality's sake as not many would hold their breath in the heat of battle when firing an automatic weapon. Nonetheless, controllable breathing while sighting into a scope would be a worthy modification, in my humble opinion. It seems that when RO was made, some of the best aspects of realism were kept in mind, and I do hope that the devs won't overlook this.
