Hey.. I haven't found any info on a simple feature like... a weapons "try before you buy" scenario? like a simple shooting range where you can try any weapon before actually commit to buy one with hard earned blood points and then have second thoughts about a different model? I really think it would be an AWESOME!!!! simple feature? could you.. can you... will you... pplleeaassee include it ???

We'll be rooting that it happens for phase 3... yyyyyaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I would like to see, a "test chamber" where you could TEST the weapons before buying it... it's kind of sad when you buy a weapon for like, 21,750, and it just dont live up to your expectations... or the sights, you spent 2,025 on the better one, and it zoom is not that good.

i'm sure i'm not alone on this request.

Sorry for my bad english, i'm brazilian.

thank your for your time.

Does this mean the "try before you buy" option is implemented already as of 5/15 ?? Or what was updated ?

Looks like something in the 4th post in this thread was updated as of today, not sure what was updated, but that's where the update was made.

Sorry for the confusion. I updated the 1st page of this thread to include new developer Q&A based on the top community issues.

Unfortunately I don't have any information concerning a shooting range for Ghost Recon Online, although I do know a certain community manager who is working on a statistics chart..

Dolphin Diving should not be changed because it's about reflexes. If someone wants to stand there and not prone ASAP why should the fast divers be penalized? Plus...it's not always a good thing to dive. In fact I mostly dive when I am a Recon but I don't as Assault/Spec. When others dive to shoot my I actually tend to shoot them in the face because I anticipate the dive. So I hope this goes back to the way it was in the phase 1-2.

Plus...certain guns with bipods are only good when proning or they shoot all over the place.

Something that is a reaction to getting shot at is ducking...or diving for cover...it's not always something I personally think about as trying to exploit...it's just the way I play from years of COD.... not the new Modern Warfare versions but the old ones. I pretty much stopped playing at Modern Warfare 1 or COD4. So it's been years...but that's just my play style.

Make fireteams at least 5 or 6. 4 is way too low because 3 friends in this game is nothing. I'm always leaving out friends to play.

Also yea...when you buy a gun, it should be able to be tested first. You may see others using a gun like the MP7 and think it's great but maybe you would hate it...who knows?

I knew the mk 16 would be good....because I was getting killed non-stop with it...and you know what... I love it. But....I bought a shotgun that I didn't like. Wasted alot of money on it and I hated it and sold it after like 2 days.

Diving isn't a realistic mechanic when you're engaging someone in a frontal attack. There's nothing wrong with diving AWAY from incoming fire to get to cover, but diving at someones feet while being able to shoot them gives you a huge advantage. You're moving straight now while shooting, while the other person needs to aim all the way down to keep shooting you. If you're wearing an Assault Blitz shield (turtle shell) while diving, the person shooting you will likely shoot your shield instead of you.

Diving should be restricted to defensive use, just like it is in BF3:

[CerealBus]

A grenade should pop out of your **** whenever you do a running dive.

Most Ubi games don't really have graphics settings, but they done good in ACR, hopefully that'll carry over to GRO

I just want to set everything to "low" or "1" and play the game
