Let me try putting this idea out there. It's may seem outlandish but bear with me here.
If you're going to do this relaxed realism thing with ironsight zoom, you might as well go the whole distance and do crosshairs too.
I understand the potential of drawing in the COD crowd with the zoom feature, but if you're going the greatest commercial success route, Counterstrike is bigger.
As many of you know, Counterstrike uses crosshairs + movement penalty to determine accuracy. This rewards quick reflexes, aim, and timing.
OK when I say Counterstrike, I mean Day of Defeat, because the recoil pattern in CS does not match up with RO.
I think by combining the COD style and DOD style aiming mechanism into a single "relaxed realism" mode and keeping the current RO style in hardcore mode has much potential.
