Ironsight too slow

[Floyd]

The iron sights are fine. It takes nerves of steel to remain calm and take careful aim at the smg'er bearing down on you. The satisfaction is immense...lol.

But to those who think they should come up faster and waver while you find your target, I'd suggest taking up a sport like sporting clays. In sporting clays (as opposed to skeet or trap), you must begin with your weapon below your shoulder. You'd be amazed at how quickly you become adept at bringing your weapon up to your shoulder with your head in perfect alignment and the barrel pointed exactly where you are looking. Once you become proficient, you never even notice the gun sights while you find, pull through and shoot a rapidly moving clay pigeon.

I realize I'm talking shotgun vs. rifle, but the concept is the same. It eventually boils down to muscle memory and reflex. Play long enough and your rifle will be perfectly on target and you can snap shoot with extreme accuracy.

its not slow

If you want to see an example of slow ironsites, go play Day of Defeat Source. My god, takes like 3 seconds to get your ironsites up, they are completely useless.

Considering the soldier your playing probably hasnt had a decent meal or a full nights sleep in several days... add to that he's filthy and stressed out, I think we have it pretty good with the Ironsights as they are.

The devs could've made them much harder to work with.

 

[Theodrake]

I think its fast enough. I don't know if they are using IS but I've taken out a alot from players runing at me, hitting the prone key and as soon as they hit the ground they shoot. If that was any faster...

I think that it is fine the way it is.

If you think about it from a scripting and animation point of view, you bring up the weapon slowly using less scripting and less animation or you could bring the weapon up faster and animate the head moving in and resting on the stock then the eyes focusing on the sights and then taking a shot at your target. IRL you would bring the weapon up faster but by the time you are ready to fire at your target it is relatively the same amount of time as in game. So they basically created the same actions and time variance without all of the scripting and animation, which would more than likely cause lower fps.

When you think of the sequence of shouldering your weapon you must take into account the other aspects that happen. And the best way to cover these aspects in game is to slow down the shouldering animation then to script and animate the complete sequence.

Just my opion

 

[stigmata]

I am OK with it as is. I played around with a winchester rifle out of curiousity and really all things considered the timing is right. I am not military trained so I suspect, I am a bit slower on the draw, but it still takes time to line up your sights from the hip.

Had to stop. My wife walked into the room. I can really creep her out sometimes....

 

[Recon]

I don't think so. The drifting though can make it really difficult to shoot at long ranges but that is realistic.

 

[Ghost22]

I'd be faster in real life.... But who knows.........

How would you know if you don't know who knows what you think you know but you don't know?

 

[Butters]

In real life it would take alot longer to line up the sight and make sure everything is straight to shoot properly.. if you think about it the game makes it easier by lining everything up perfectly

 

[maconha]

How would you know if you don't know who knows what you think you know but you don't know?

For sure someone knows....

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

The Lord knows.

 

[knigtstemplar]

It is too slow. No doubt.

 

[Drude]

I have to agree, taking aim is quite slow but I don't mind how long the aiming time is but the process. Problem is that you cannot shoot in "mid aiming".

 

[hellhammer]

[5 ss] Strother. I here by am renameing you to Captain Buzzkill if you like it or not. I know you rule your servers with an iron fist to make up for your inequaties as a man.All you do is shoot down peoples opinions instead of constructive critisim. You are a sad sad man. If i beat you up in high school...dude im sorry ok? Its time to move on. Really.

 

[BobCobb]

IS timing is fine.

If anything should be implemented it should be that you can take a shot before the rifle is all the way up in IS.

 

[[TW]schneidzekk]

I have no idea what you are going to hit, (ok, maybe the famous barn door) when you bring up ironsights

 

[Tak]

The current IS system may seem slow, and yeah, anyone here could jerk a rifle butt up to their shoulder faster IRL, but the sights are aligned for you, spot on, 100% of the time. No one can do that in real life. That's the hard part of shooting. Getting the rear sight and the front site to line up, stay that way for a shot, and line back up for the next. You may not always IS to dead center-screen, but you always IS with your gun lined up perfectly no matter where it is pointed.


With that in mind, I say leave IS as is. They're excellent.

 

[THG repo]

Its just new players having a cry cause they get pwnt.


Everyone elses ironsites rise at the same speed so your gona die anyway!

yea try russian carbine its nice

 

[maconha]

Still slow.

After a year playing RO, I'm elite and still think IS is slow.
