Why did they add full screen rocking and weapon aim bob?

When you run the whole screen moves, not just your weapon/arms/hands. I find it extremely irritating as it presents the illusion of really jagged movement.

Weapon bob when you aim. I don't see what it adds to the game apart from frustration. It's now almost impossible to snipe a headshot long/medium range and all other weapons have the bob when scoped. The bob doesn't seem to subside when crouched or proned.

They don't seem to add anything to gameplay apart from maybe a bit of nausea and randomness to the aiming; both detrimental effects. I'm a little curios as to why they added these. I did post about it in the beta forums during the beta and gained support of quite a few others but they didn't seem to listen at all.

Anyone else hate these two new additions?

Screen shake - gives the impression that its an actually First Person perspective, you know when you run you do go about a foot off the ground.
Game play reason -> You can't do short sprints and get the first shot off on an unexpected target by chance, you gotta wait a little.

Weapon Bob - like you can zoom 2x in after sprinting and hold a gun steady?
Gamely Reason -> Its designed to keep all the noobs from owning by chance, like in BF2, this time it takes skill, # the number of bullets fired. Ex. The sniper, see how many people don't play sniper anymore because they can't hit someone in the chest? Its working, otherwise we'll have a flood of camo snipers.

Wasn't there an option somewhere in the gameplay options to turn just this screen shaking off? Or did they remove it since the beta?

In answer to my own question...

From BF2142fever.com:

Gruber 5 Stabilizer
From Battlefield 2142
[edit]Game Description
Scope Stabilizer: Utilizing a movement compensation sensor to grant temporary rifle stability, the Gruber 5 Scope Stabilizer System facilitates target acquisition. The Gruber's power supply allows for a near limitless repeat uses of the system, though the power levels demanded by the system require a significant recharge period between uses.

[edit]Guide
The weapon sway from your soldier breathing is something that really will bug you as a sniper. The stablizer is an active unlock that will assist you. Zoom in on your target then get a good aim. When you need an extra boost of stability, like before you set your shot, hold down shift and the stablizer will reduce the sway significantly, allowing you to compensate easier and place the shot. The stablizer will only do this for a very short time. After its use it needs a couple of seconds to recharge before you can use it again.

This unlock will take up a space in your customizing screen.

It only works on these three sniper rifles:

Morretti SR4 EU Sniper Rifle
Park 52 PAC Sniper Rifle
Zeller-H Advanced Sniper Rifle

Level 3 unlock for Recon class

LOL

The bobbing is much more tollerable now than what it was in the beta.

All very good but if it's anything like the beta it only lasts 1-2 seconds.

I would have to disagree. Yes it bobs less of a distance but it seems more rapid now. I'd prefer to have a longer, more controlable, bob than having a more rapid, shorter, bob.

Heh, I guess I had it coming for that.

I heard that they made it last for a little longer, but also 1-2 seconds is all the time you need to get a headshot.

I hope whatever class/vehicle you love to play gets nerfed to the point it's useless.

The scope goes up and down because thats what people do in real life, you breath, and when you breath normally the scope goes up and down, i love that feature and im looking forward to sniping will real skill now.
