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.
