    I think what makes the Iso OP is the fact that you hardly even see the bullet coming, and then you're dead. Thus, I thought of a change to give the victim more warning and time to dodge. My idea is basically to give the Iso a laser that shows what it's aiming at while scoped. Basically, the laser would look like the raygun when fired, only less noticeable. It would also be team-colored, so you don't panic every time your teammate shoots his Iso.
    This change could retain the Iso's ability to 1 shot kill, but it would require more skill to either get behind the enemy where they can't see the laser or otherwise find a way to prevent people from seeing the laser. Quickscoping wouldn't work as well, since an alert player would still be able to see the laser and dodge.
    Discuss, and any feedback is appreciated.

    you can see the iso shots just as well as any other sniper and most other guns most guns you don't have a chance to dodge them.

    I don't think it matters if you can see the shots if you're running around like a retard.
    Best advice I can give is, pay more attention to your surroundings.

    If they're playing with particles off, it's their own fault. Hopefully people would learn about the change, and know to keep particles enabled.
    That's the point of this change, if I understand you correctly. Having the laser would give people more time to see the shot coming, and dodge it.

    but then while you can't really see other snipers bullets and don't get a chance to dodge them you get a chance do dodge the iso shots? no thanks.
    when a sniper snipes they are ment to be hidden this would reveal the sniper making sniping with iso a lot less effective.

    Well, the other sniper shots aren't guaranteed to kill you. It would also be possible to add the laser to all snipers (or even all guns). A fast quickscoper would be able to stay hidden, or you could just aim at something in the foreground to prevent people from seeing the laser until it's too late.
    I know, but I think the new nerf takes away its 1 hit kill (correct me if I'm wrong), which I don't like.

    I think only the fire rate is being nerfed.

    but that would mean you couldn't aim at your target without being revealed.

    you would be able to aim at them normally without scoping, and then either be fast or find a way to not get seen when you do scope to shoot.

    I don't see this being added because the Orange has more important things to code and it wouldn't really fit into mc-war.

    Anybody can dodge a bullet, it's real easy to see it coming. You have like 0/5 second to move. Also it depends if the guy knows how to use it and time is shots. All this to say that dodging a bullet is timing

    I dont consider this a huge problem and it would probably create a lot of lag with 10-15 constant lasers in the game 24/7

    A laser coming out of the iso is too un-realistic. Even though I hate the iso with all my heart, I don't think it would be fun to see a bunch of lasers flying around the map along with the ray-gun.

    The problem is not the iso, but the amount of people Who use it. And most of them just use it because they dont have scav. Nerfing a bit it ammo, and increasing other Guns ammo would make people use iso less.

    Now, about the idea, the laser thingy can be a good idea if Well elaborated, this is not the case to add lasers

    The only problem is without scavenger, the only other gun with good enough ammo is the model.
    Sure, they'll do fine, but you won't be able to get as many high killstreaks. Nukes will become a thing that only donors usually get. Especially with the raised nuke killstreak.
