ironsig-- oh, i mean LIGHT-sights

[acosmo]

not sure if anyone's touched on this yet but the VS holographic weapon sights are wrong.

in totalbiscuit's night ops video, he uses a pulsar and the sights are REALLY BRIGHT. in order to preserve soldiers' capacity to see in the dark, red caps are used on flashlights (even flashlights damage night vision). if even damped light damages night vision capacity, blindingly bright holographic sights should obliterate a soldier's capacity to see in the dark. moving on, the purpose of weapon sights is to aim a weapon at a target. what good is a targeting device if you can't see what you need to target?

YEAH IT LOOKS COOL, BUT-- HOLOGRAPHIC SIGHTS IS TAKING IT TOO FAR SOE

TOO FAR SOE, YOU HEAR THIS MAN? LIGHTRON SIGHTS ARE TOO FAR

Speaking of Tron, we need to get lightcycles into the 5 year plan ASAP.

Roads would be cool too!

Blue is the best color for preserving night vision, but red gives better definition.

Edit: Talking out my ass.

I didn't really like the big sort of hexagonal sight with the slit down the middle on that heavier gun in TB's video, but the Pulsar and Beamer sights look awesome.

Maybe you can customize the sights. Actually, I demand it.

Holographic sights look cool. All arguments are irrelevant.

I second this.

And i want fully customisable sights, like in COD Black Ops, actually combine all the customisation from all games, then you can never have anyone unhappy with the sights because they can choose one that they like out of the thousands of options. But that sounds like too much work for the developers.

But then I have to go through all the effort of using my brain and making a decision! Oh pooh. Why do these game makers have to make it so hard on me? wah wahwah

[Evilmp]

Wouldn't it be cool to edit your own holographic sight, and store it entirely clientside? Something like a very simple shape editor that defines the holograph.

You know, instead of adding thousands of different holographic sights to a selection list or having a limited selection.

You had me until "...like in COD Black Ops".

I'm going to go take a shower.

I don't mind the colour (you're not affected by pupils in the future apparently) I'm WAY more concerned that with that sight he had, you couldn't see for SHIT! It took up half the damn screen!

[Pyreal]

The one with the big hexagonal sights took up far too much FoV, not to mention it was too bright!
It needs to be slimmed down a lot!

[DOUBLEXBAUGH]

If the VS want to limit their FoV and blind themselves while accomplishing that, I say we let them!

Careful. You're liable to get a giant piece of scrap metal for one of your guns ironsights, blocking 95% of your view. Remember which empire the art department favors
