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.

              I mean, jesse-wtf is how I feel when I see a sudden explosion of trigger discipline word drops in the internet wild, too.

                Okay but consider it is, hands down and without exception, the most important safety practice when handling a firearm. It should be hammered in to the heads of every person who might encounter a gun.

                  I agree.

                  It's still annoying to me when it's barked out by a bunch of approval-seeking internet tacticools because a picture of a gun appeared on the screen.

      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.

        It would be an utterly different game. It wouldn't be counter-strike at all.
