Hello,

 

Is it possible for the developper(s?) to push an update that would make you able to choose (in a menu option, for example) if you wish to allow the Stalker perk to have its full effect when you hold a sniper ?

- "full effect" : I mean the fast movement while aiming down the sight. I would like to keep the delayed explosions ;

- "when you hold a sniper" : I do mean hold, not have. If I pick up another weapon (or even with my handgun), I would like the full Stalker effect to come back.

 

I'm asking for a 4D1 update rather than a mod because I do not have a server.

I almost always play with Specialist and the full perk bonus often tends to mess me up when I'm sniping.

 

Is it doable ?

Am I the only one bothered by this ?

 

Thanks for reading. =)

 

 

Edit : since there was some misunderstandings after this post, I'll try to phrase everything as clear as possible.

 

I would like an option to be able to choose whether or not you wish to allow the ADS effect of the Stalker perk, if you have it equiped or with the Specialist bonus, when you're holding a sniper rifle.

Nope. Those type of game core modifications won't be made.

I even doubt that someone would bother doing it in a mod, but it would be a possibility.

Now changing it on the game itself, NO.

I feel like you're against the idea.

But I'm not asking for a change for everyone. I'm only asking for a choice. An option.

 

Anyways, sad to read it won't be made. But I'll survive. =)

Snipers were never made to run around with them while zooming in.

I like stalker on my MSR though

Would probably require unmanaged code running... to hook game engine ish... plus it might not work if you hook the function after the game starts when the mod gets loaded. Plus that would just encourage ppl to run around scoped with 1shotkill guns. Kind of OP.

I absolutely don't understand why I get 2 answers like that. I mean, if I had 1 I would blame it on a weird misunderstanding, but 2 ?

 

How does removing the ADS Stalker effect (ie, make it the same as normal) give you the idea that people would run around scoped ? If anything, it would be the opposite, no ? Am I missing something ?

 

Anyway, I don't run around zoomed in, even with the Stalker perk. I just tend to adjust shots with keyboard movements (as well as with the mouse), and I often get bothered by the change of speed. It doesn't bother me when I aim around a corner, quite the opposite.

Didn't think it would be that complex. I assumed it was the same kind of change as changing the Scavenger perk for noobtubes in MW2. :/

Hope you understood that you would still be able to keep it, with my request.

I could get used to it eventually, but then it'd be hard to go back to MW2.

It's sad cause I love the perks and the Specialist package, aside for that little annoying thing.

If you are afraid of delayed explosives that much just use SitRep

Haha, more misunderstanding.

 

My point is not that I want the delayed explosives (which is what I assume you meant by "afraid of delayed explosives" ; otherwise that would be another whole level of misunderstanding), but that I don't want the ADS effect. If you could only remove the whole perk and not just a part of it (while holding a sniper), that would be fine as well (although a little less fine).

 

I do not choose the Stalker perk in my Sniper classes, it just comes with the Specialist bonus.

 

Edit : removing the whole perk effect (still as a choice) on a sniper class (or the class of the player's choice, if possible) regardless of what's in the player's hands would be fine as well ... I guess (although less less fine). I just can't go on a much bigger compromise before it being as bad as a sniper on ice skates.

If it's really not possible/wanted at all, then nevermind.
