Increases the range of most weapons in the game, and lowers and standardizes the field-of-vision (or "zooming") in non-scoped weapons.
- Permissions and credits
Longer Range Weapons and Realistic FOV increases the range of most weapons in the game, and at the same time lowers and standardizes the field-of-vision (or "zooming", even if the word is not accurate in this context) in non-scoped weapons.
Here is a video demonstration of Longer Range Weapons and Realistic FOV. Better watched in HD, so you can see the tiny enemies in the iron-sights!
DESCRIPTION:
My premise was simple: If I can see them clearly through my iron-sights, and I'm not using a BB rifle or something, the bullet [should] be able to reach a target at this distance! So why doesn't the game make the bullet reach the target?? Annoying for some of us, isn't it? Well, no more frustration of that sort. This mod increases the range of most weapons, and lowers and standardizes the FOV of some.
In other words, you can now shoot enemies from much farther away, but the weapons without a scope attached to them do not "zoom in" as much as they used to; [and] many of them zoom equally now. I used the BB Gun as the "zooming" benchmark for all rifles; meaning, all rifles "zoom-in" as much as the BB rifle, and no more—except for snipers and rifles with scopes. But it is up to you to use the iron-sights and your skill in headshotting or sneak-oneshotting enemies at very long distances from you.
When the idea for this mod came to me, and I put some time into manipulating the numbers in the most balanced way possible, then tried the mod, I absolutely loved the experience! It was really awesome to try and get headshots or one-shot kills from great distances where enemies looked like ants through the iron-sights. I really love using my rifles now, and enjoy the game a lot more. Sneaking and getting accurate shots is so much more fun now. And I hope that this mod has the same effect on you, and you have a lot of fun! Enjoy.
