while that would be cool, and add some uniquness....
to mutch, to late in dev (hopefully...)
to many buttons
its a cool idea, but the max range anyone has ever sniped me at, or i sniped them was like 500 yards. at that range you should know where the sniper generaly is.
and, its not like the movies where its only a helmet with 2 holes that they line up and look threw!
first off....the helmit sould snip, throwing off the aim threw the holes.
2nd....if i saw you looking threw the holes, and i was the sniper, i would snoot thre that helmet into your head.....
3rd... even if you had someone spotting the muzzel flash of the sniper rifle, it would basicly be the same thing as playing "pop goes the wheesle" with live humans. More then a few times i have had a friend run past a window to get the twitchy sniper to fire a shot...so i can spot him...and shoot him. your going past the window so fast he cant hit you at range.
the bullet takes to long to get there...unless he could see threw walls! (HAX!!!!!)
in ww1 they did have periscopes on a fake head, but taht was static trenches, not a constinly shifting front of stalingrad!
