In terms of gameplay mechanics, old school zoom aiming achieves the same thing as ADS. Is getting to press your nose against virtual firearms really that important in a game about shooting werevolves and vampires?

I blame this on the proliferation of Call of Duty over traditional scifi and fantasy shooter franchises. You can fucking ADS on an assault rifle in Halo now visible-disgust

      Rare UlyssesT L.

      You can pry my proper ironsights from my cold dead hands. I will go further to say counterstrike 2 is cowardly pandering to esports purists. They should have gone the route of making a better R6 siege without the garbo ubisoft hud shit.

        You can stand by that that all you like, but if you chant it the way reddit-logo also chants “trigger discipline” and “magazine not clip” for tacticool approval points and Le reddit-logo Gold, I’d call that a rare Nakoichi L in return.

          Also I appreciate trigger discipline discourse when it comes to little details like in the x files how Mulder has terrible trigger discipline belying his character as sort of a crank while Scully is the consummate professional with her firearm handling.

            That’s fine.

            geordi-yes “I feel very strongly about my position regarding this topic when that is the current discussion.”

            geordi-no sees picture of gun “Heh… guys… TRIGGER DISCIPLINE amirite?” smuglord someone exists somewhere “I bet that civvie calls it a ‘clip,’ heh.” smuglord

            It’s like those Burgerland Doctor Who fans that just word-drop “DALEKS LOL” and/or “SONIC SCREWDRIVER LOL” at the slightest opportunity.

        This. I’m ok with older games without ironsights, doesn’t distract me, but a modern one? Just put that damn thing on your game fuck dammit.
