Hey all - Iron sights question

[DE3p]

I've just joined up after months of reading these forums so just popping by to say hi and also a quick question! Do you think we will get "aim down sight" I'm hoping its not just going to be "from the hip" shooting.

Hello, and welcome to the forums!

Unfortunately, ironsights will not be featured in L4D.

I don't even know what "aim down sight" is. The aiming system is like in any other FPS, like CS.

Hi DE3p

There won't be any ironsights on the game :-\

I was hoping for that too, I always like getting a good, clean, and well aimed head shot..

hehe :P

pshh, hunting rifle?

[squerl]

Yeah, the hunting rifle is the only weapon that features a scope right now, the rest are just like Counter-Strike.

Oh, the poor neglected search feature, how I pity your unnecessary obsolescence.

Oh, and by the way: Welcome to the forums, of course :) Didn't mean to seem arrogant, mate. Newcomers are all welcomed. We Survivors need to stick together ;)

Unfortunately? Hardly. L4D isn't that kinda game.

Yes, unfortunately.

I was merely oscillating on the same wavelength as the original poster, so to speak. I don't mind there not being ironsights in L4D either.

[Chronos]

Yes, unfortunately.
You want ironsights in a game like this?

It's an arcade-style co-op survival horror. It would be silly to have ironsights.

[hooray for zombies]

Even though this is an age old question, I am so glad to see it posed rationally. No there won't be iron sights and the dev's have their reasons.

Thanks for the posts, at Chronos, i would have liked Ironsights yes because just like you say it's a arcade shooter but isn't the CoD series an arcade shooter too? Works well in that m8, i wouldn't want to play it any other way (CoD i mean).
Edit: Entering a room using Ironsight must make it easier to clear surly? Because i think there is gonna be alot of rooms to clear.

Just because a gun has you looking through a different view does not mean it's automatically more effective. The coders would need to make it more effective while aiming, rather than just giving you a sight advantage (or in the case of ironsights, a sight disadvantage).

The point is that the game doesn't need it as it's mostly spraying hordes of zombies in a run 'n' gun fashion.
