Yeah that was the main thing that I noticed about the game. In one of the last gameplay videos, the character is shooting at enemies across the map in a building. He looks like he is using a 4x scope, and while standing and zooming in, the crosshairs were completely still. Thus making it easier to snipe and scope in, while standing. In previous socoms, and in real life, the stability of your gun depends on your position and posture. Standing your going to have a tougher time getting the gun steady, crouching makes it a little easier to get steady, however still moves quite a bit, and obviously prone is the best way to keep the gun steady. I'm sure, like navyboy pointed out, that if it's not changed before the beta, I'm sure that will be one of the complaints, especially the anti-snipers out there.

However everything else really seemed to look pretty good, considering the release date. The controller options with the sixaxis seems to be pretty sweet, but will probably take some getting used to.
