Cycler Iron Sights

[Malorn]

I'm highly forgiving on gameplay observations for the demo because well, it's a demo and likely has a lot of demo-specific gameplay aspects. However, art and models is something that I will comment on.

Cycler Ironsights.

To see this in action, go to 5:30 at the Day 1 stream, part 3. Here's the still.


I get how they want to make the TR seem like a more modern/conventional military, but come on, these ironsights are TERRIBLE. The Gauss and Pulsar had good ironsights. The cycler's irons are in competition with Battlefield's AN-94 for most terrible irons ever. And I think the Cycler wins the competition handily.

The purpose of aperture sights (the kind of sights they gave the Cycler) in the real world is for precision. I expect the TR to care less about precision and a lot more about quick acquisition before they spray the target with lead.

If you want to give the Cycler more classic aperture irons because the TR are more conventional, then give them ghost rings like the Repeater. Repeater looked good, please make the cycler the same way. At the very least, give the cycler much better apertures than it currently has. It's absolutely horrid. Can't see the target at all, especially with the recoil. Easy to lose the target in the irons graphic.

For comparison, here are the Gauss irons.


Notice how the view is unobstructed and there's a clear image of the target? Give that to the cycler irons too please.

Here's the nice repeater irons. Clear target image and only mildly obstructive.



Also, minor nitpick, but in the customization UI you use the phrase "clip size", please change to "magazine size" or "capacity". Using the term "clip" is 1980's bad terminology. That's like saying "silencer" (correct term is "suppressor"). I want to ignore it, but every time I see it I cringe.
