The military now has an auto-aim sniper scope.

[The Man With the Soap]

They should just drop it, it's going to ruin a generation of Army Snipers

This won't ruin Army snipers. The fact that they aren't Marine snipers is what ruins them.

so now all we need is for the military to develop regenerating health, decrease the sensitivity on all vehicle steering, and they will be as realistic as realistic shooters

This article is obviously a fake. Lockheed Martin is not a weapons manufacturer. They make airplanes.

"Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) is a United States aerospace, defense, security, and advanced technology company with worldwide interests."
Aerospace, as well as Defense (eg MISSILES) and Security (eg GUNS) and advanced technology (eg MAGIC).

My bad. You are correct. That's what I get for failing to complete my research. Ignore my previous comment.

But in all seriousness, the snipers are supposed to be the best. How can they be the best if any hack off the street can pull off a kill-shot from 800 yards?

next thing you know, they'll be using lagswitches

Kill-shots are good.


But say that a man is holding a woman hostage, and using her as a human shield.

The precision of the sniper and the precision of the auto-aim means that man is going to have a hole in his head faster then you can say "Boom Headshot."

So it's basically this:


Yeah, I'm down with that.

aah, that kind of takes the fun out of.

Next thing ya know, the army will come up with bots and and respawning. Sooner or later, we'll be fighting our wars with life-sized games of Counter-Strike or Call of Duty.

They make weapon systems. Who better to make wind adjusting scopes than a company that makes aircraft.

Obviously the military is attempting to cater to the casual soldier.

THEY'RE RUINING WAR FOR EVERYONE!!

There is now tea on my table thanks to your comment.
I request you use some of that magic to clean it up...[sub]please[/sub]

Quick-scoping pricks. We should just go back to the days when the people who could stab each other the best were on top of the world-- these guys are just ruining international mass murder for everyone.

I think that humanity should attempt to settle their differences without needing to resort to armed conflict, but I also think that military technology should be allowed to progress because of how cool it is.
