We will get different sites and other **** like that soon, it just hasn't come in yet.
I agree with him that you might be a bit intellectually challenged, considering you answered the question as if he proposed removing sights (that's right, SIGHTS) altogether. And there's that word that keeps coming up all the time... soon.

I have always thought this is completely unnecessary. Just give us some normal ACOGs or red-dot sights and call it a day. Why would we want CCP to create like 6 new models for each gun and a whole new customization menu when there are so many other important things to add in this game? Just put some decent sights on there instead of ironsights.

We're in cybernetic suits with their own internal power source. You seriously think the technology to keep a dot sight powered doesn't exist..?

This sort of risk vs. reward mechanic is exactly what would make electronic warfare effective and fun. Let's say you have the choice between a gun with ironsights and a gun with a powered red-dot sight (RDS). The RDS is more useful for target acquisition, but if you get hit with an EMP, you can't see the dot anymore. If you chose the ironsights, this wouldn't have happened. The RDS is a risk you took that may or may not pay off in every situation. Choices are good. Risk vs. reward is awesome. |
