Red Dot Sights and COD Modern Warfare 2

[Alex V]

I think the game is good enough for what it is - a game. At least you get to shoot an ACR!

True...

And I know the game is as close as Ill ever get to a Barrett m107 lol

I just with the effect for a .50 cal hiting a person was better shown in the game. Im getting pretty good with it now that I have a silencer on it and I don't light up like a X-Mas tree every time I fire it. But unless you get a headshot or hit the guys chest, it does not do much damage. How awesome would it be if you hit the guy in the leg, and he had to spend the rest of the time till he dies trying to get around on one leg lol.

Back to the original point. Games can only go so far, but at the end of the day, they only aproximate real life.

As a pilot I used MS Flight Simulator to practice IFR approches into airports I would fly to in real life. I would bring the clowds and visibility down beyond published minimums and shoot the approach. This was good practice, but it did not replace doing it for real.

Who would have thought a simple question about reticules in MW2 would spark such a debate.

But I learned something from the thread so it's a win-win.

OP-

The "holographic' sight or eotech in MW2 has a smaller reticle than it does in real life. The game shows a reticle that fills about 10% of the sight, where in real life it fills more like 25% (unless they make it with different size reticles and I'm not aware).

Hopefully this doesn't break any rules on the site....

Has pictures of about any reticle you would want.



And on the topic of FPS - I hate iron sites in the games. The AK is so easy to use, but the Ar's with ghost rings block your vision. They need to blur out the ring and only show the front post.

If only I was as good in real life as I am in Modern Warfare.

Quoted for Truth!



I actually prefer the EOTech on the SCAR, the ACOG on the ACR and red dots on anything else I use.....

but the only Guns in MW2 I have been using are the ACR/ACOG/Silencer or the M21 EBR/Silencer/FMJ.

Well I suck at the game, but for some reason I suck more with the EOTech than I do with the regular RDS. I think it may be because the EOTech coveres more of the screen? Not sure. Ill try and use it on the guns again, but I find that I get fewer kills with it.

I also find it better to use SlightOfHand Pro and a silencer instead of Bling with a silenser and FMJ on a sniper rifle. SoH Pro lets you get from hip fire to scope a lot faster. Which I find helpful on a sniper rifle.

There have been several with "bullet drop".Close Combat:First to Fight did the best job IMO.Most recently(that I'm aware of) was the new OFP: DR...Wind would be tough.

Armed Assault II has bullet drop and wind

I'll check it out.

PC only though no?

I don't have the time/money that PC gaming requires.

There is absolutely no way we should be discussing the accuracy of a video game to influence the purchase of an optics package. Its a VIDEO GAME! There was a kid the other day that was trying to explain that they make a magnifier for the acog that you can flip to the side, and that he said he saw it on some game. Its ignorance like that that gets to me. I agree with most here and say buy from somebody that excepts returns. No substitution for hands on. If your new to the world of RDS, and are looking at purchasing from a retailer that will treat you right ive always had great experience with GR tac. and or Larue tac. I own a aimpoint and it suits me well, although my bad eyes dont lose the eotech's dot as much as my aimpoint. I can follow the circle and the dot better than just the dot. Its just preference though get out and try one!

One thing MW2 tought me was that the EOTech can survive an EMP, but the ACOG's tritium will burn out in a similar situation!

I only play Hardcore HQ or Hardcore Deathmatch. But my Secondary weapon is either G18 with silencer/red dot, Akimbo 1887's or most recently, and much better for me Im running no Bling, instead, Scavenger(sniper class only) so I can pick up more claymores and my 2nd weapon is the M93 Rafika with Red Dot..... Sniper Rifle is still the M21 with silencer....

Got my Nuke on Hardcore Team Deathmatch on Rundown with the newest Sniper Class..... was so intense! haha
