A proper sniper

[808]

One thing I loved about the old sniper skin in OFP was that it blended decently well into foliage.

Ever since I went to Battlefield 2 for my sniping fix i've gotten used to a well camoflaged sniper skin with a ghille suit.

However, there is no ghille skinned sniper at all in AA! I'm hoping to make a couple of multiplayer sniper fest missions and the lack of a ghille suit takes a large chunk of the fun away. It becomes trivial to spot other players and takes away a massive part of the challenge away.

Is there any chance of bis adding a proper sniper to the game at all?

if bis dosn't an addonmaker will only problem i see with that is that sahrani is multicoloured as far as the landscape goes, desert in one area, dense woodland in another, if an addonmaker does make one he will have to make an entire set for the different environments on the island

That wouldn't be too difficult.

I am usually not a Sniper ingame, but a ghillie is a must imho.

Better suited for the A&D forum

As good a place as any to complain about there being no proper spec ops or sniper skins in ArmA.

Strikes me as odd.

What's wrong with the defaults for special operations?

[Ryujin]

nothing at all, Special Forces don't usually run around with balaclavas looking like ninjas in all black. They generally wear the same ACU uniform, just with all the appropriate patches and such (you can complain about the ACU uniform though, its missing all the bells and whistles). They also have some different gear, like the leg holsters and such on the bis models.

I know, I'm in special operations, it was a loaded question. Deployment-wise, SF and SOF might wear something else depending on mission parameters, unit SOP, and soldier's preference. But the ACU is very much the required uniform for garrison use as of 1 March 07. Exceptions? Sure, on a case by case basis, and mostly for training requirements. (OpFor, Robin Sage, SFAS, etc)

*edit*

And, since the Sahrani mission was originally a training exercise, Garrison it is!

clavicula, when your out and about do you wear your kevlar on your head like the regs?
