Binoculars

[Shakermaker]

Both BF1942 and BFV had binoculars in at least some of the classes. BF2 has none and I miss 'em. I like to do a little recon first before I storm a flag and there isn't always the convenience of a UAV to help spot the enemy. IRL not every grunt owns a pair of binoculars, so maybe it could be exclusively for squad leaders. Discuss!

Maybe...but in BF1942 and BFV soldieers had binos just to spot a target for artillary, which didn't really work out well..and if you wanna check the flag before going in, use a sniper scope

I never play sniper. I have the medic unlock but that rifle is a bit too under-powered for my taste.

Maybe binoculars in BF2 could be a bit like in FarCry. When you spot enemies with it, they appear on your mini-map. If it's a squad-leader-only feature it might work.

If you search through the files on your hard drive you can find unused files like the binoculars, as well as the M82A1. Maybe they will be used later in other expansions. On another note I remember finding a mod that allowed the use of it.

Any regular grunt can make a guy appear on the minimap . However, it might be a good idea to give binocs to snipers and spec-ops kits, so they can be effective scouts. they could also srve to gi screenshots to other players, a bit likethe arty spots in BF1942, but available to everyone and, of course, not linked to arty.

Yea that would be while im taking a flag as a assualt.. "Hang on let me pull my scope out of my @ss" lol Not everyone has a scope is my point so yes binoc's would be cool. If nothing else just to spot infantry.

Binoculars were pretty useless to me.

Useless to me too cos I sometimes just use the scope in the sniperz or some other guns
