Binoculars & Scopes That Increase Zoom Distance

[Bullet_Magnate]

It would be very cool if players could find binoculars that would allow them to zoom their vision much further, at the price of a much narrower field of vision while in use.   

 

Weapon scopes could function much the same way.

I may be mistaken, but don't rifle scopes already do that?

If they do I never felt that they work this way. The only thing I noticed is that with scopes you can aim for longer distances (the outline when aiming appears at larger distances).

 

I've heard that if you want a longer seeing distance it's basically pay to win because you have to have a monitor with higher resolution (but that was long time ago and might have been fixed).

My thought was that, rather than having the view zoom out further, your whole POV would just shift / move further in the direction that you were "zooming" toward, while keeping line of sight / fog of war based on your actual position.  That should make it so that monitor resolution is irrelevant.  : )
