Well, I see that many people agree with me, and many didn't care before I wrote about it.
To the few that don't agree:
it's not that I want it away. I would like and
option to turn it on/off in
Iron Sight.
Or drastically reduced. Or maybe only a
vertical axis free aim (to check after a shot).
It would be more realistic [well, actually, a realistic free aim would mean your rifle would move with a delay after you turn your head but that would be a pain in a game] and this game is supposed to be close to a simulator.
