Remove zoom from iron sights.

SiN|ScarFace · 03-16-2006, 02:20 PM

I know this has been brought up before but it seems like something so simple to change and it gets ignored each release.

When you look down the sights of a rifle your vision does not magnify what you are looking at, so why should it do so in PRMM when you bring up the iron sights? It should not.

This is why weapons have optics on them.

Any dev comments on this?

i would love it if they were smaller, with out the zoom and also with a blur effect around the edge (seeing as you can only focus on somthing like 3% of you total view field I.E you only see clearly 3% of your view point)

like said before, its ment to show that when you zoom down a site you are more concntrated on your shot. But it would be best to take it off.

Ha, I was just reading a review of another game (which goal was to be the most realistic WW2 game ever) and it was saying that the only bad thing was that there was no zoom on the Iron Sites. The review said that BF2 was the game that got it right.

To say that its meant to show you are concentrating is nonsense, as with or without zoom you are still able to concentrate on what you are aiming at.

How hard can it be to take the zoom out? It should be taken out for the next version of prmm.

The zoom does not realy bother me. If it wasnt there it would not bother me either. But you should not blur the rest of the screen. I constantly move with the iron sites up if I think I am going to incounter something. I think of it as moving with both eyes open.

i think it somewhat compromises for the limitations of vision and perception in a computer game, but yeh, take it out and see what its like

bad idea, u walk very slow, unless you want to walk slow ofcourse but for close combat its a bad idea.

"depth of field" is the keyword, but this i think this is not an easy job to implement.

buti it would be awesome to have it
