Snipers no longer punished off Recon
Sniper rifles no longer get extra spread on classes other than Recon, but weapon sway now starts during the zoom transition.
Update 1.1.1.0 removed the extra spread penalty for using sniper rifles on non-Recon classes.
- Using sniper rifles with any class other than Recon no longer increases weapon spread; instead, weapon sway now begins during the zoom transition.
TipYou can now snipe effectively as Assault or Support without the old accuracy tax. The catch is sway starts as you scope in, so off-class snipers reward a quick settle-and-fire rather than long-held scopes.
