Is it just me or are weapons without zoom completely worthless? - Page 6

The point is, enemies are ***** hard to see. They appear really tiny on the TV screen and additionally, you normally sit a few meters away from the screen when playing on console.

thats realism guys ... ironsights work fine in close combats - try to aim in close fights with scope - aint much better ! realism !

with some practise u hit also with ironsights targets 100 meters away !

dont think you're able to hit everything within the first game - practise practise practise !

i think it isnt easy in real combat either - without aducation , no one of you would hit a target even with scope in real life !

i used iron sights out to 150M and i never missed. however i couldnt always get chest shots, lots of arm or low torso hits.

over that range i would want a scope.

in this game i always swap to scoped weapons

First time playing online yesterday as US(first ever in like 30 games). I must say it's far easier to kill as the us. The scopes and iron sites are much less obscuring than pla. I had the scar w the red dot and it was definetly an advantage. Anyone else feel the same? I would like to see a few new factions added from countries with better tech than china.

WOOT WOOT ! you couldnt have said it any better

its just you. I hate people who dont know how to aim without a scope and go searching for dead bodies with one.

It's there in the manual, but I just recently realised it. There's a small zoom/focus function for your eyes (not gun) if you press the right stick down. Quite useful.

i play on HD on SD you will have difficulty but give it time to get used to and you can use iron sights perfectly..... well with a line of error but quite a fine one.

Took me a while but i got it perfect for upto 300M then i start to have minor drop problems.
