oh man look at that depth of field. Pretty.

// edit, the little green location things are cool too. Very informative.

I will most likely be using red dots, but that does look pretty sweet.

t-ray, stop staring at the sun all the time! it will hurt your eyes!

I don't think I could love a dev more. /brohug

That said, I still think the whole "iron sights" mechanic looks stupid/goofy/gamey. But st you're doing it with style.

I need to play this game right now.

He's wearing a visor! It's ok!

Seems that colored minimap is out...

Gandhi · 2012-04-28, 05:08 PM

I'm so glad they didn't just go with the standard can't-see-shit-captain iron sights.

SniperSteve · 2012-04-28, 05:10 PM

Yeah, Bags I noticed that too. What happened to our beloved real-color minimap

This is the future, we have better technology than just monochrome.. that was all like 1980's...

Also, that sun looks nice.

Saintlycow · 2012-04-28, 05:15 PM

hmm. The sun is way to bright.

Seriously.

Its almost as bad as BF3 sun

Not even close. BF3 sun completely blinds you. I can see easily.

Holy shit, this is what I'm going to be looking at while playing. It just hadn't hit me the same way with NC and TR view models.

Hopefully they didn't add the color minimap just to remove it again. Maybe it's an optional thing, for them what's prefer it one way or the other. I hope so, color minimap is so much better.

If anything, adding iron sights makes it more realistic and tactical, not more "gamey." How would you aim a weapon without looking down the sights?

The screenshots are looking truly amazing, as usual. Indar's barren desert look is really coming together nicely in the top pic. The light rays coming through the trees are great -- this is going to be like playing Crysis on an MMO scale :D
