After watching the E3 footage of gameplay, I actually really like the lack of optics. If optics are included, only providing a very limited few options seems fantastic (like BFBC2 did). Anyone know if there’s a confirmation on what kind of optics we can expect to see on the guns?

Regardless, I went from skeptical about this game to pumped after E3. Just hoping that the launch is stable and goes well.

What do you mean? there were plenty of unrealistic red dot sights and stuff mounted on machine guns in the E3 gameplay.

Ah you know, I don’t recall the mounted weapons. The standard guns players were spawning with were neat tho. If they did away with optics entirely (not in sniper rifles tho) id be okay with it.

This forum is for complaining about BF1 only.

I have seen a few types of optics.

- Iron sights that are at the end of barrel.
- dual Iron sights(for the lack of a better name), like on the Lewis Gun and Semi-Autos
- 3 x Scopes on the Bolt Action a box type and 2 x cylinder type. The box is seem to be the weakest. I not sure of the 2 cylinder types which has the highest magnification. I would guess the 3 types have magnification between 1.5 to 3.
