It also really bothers the shit out of me when modern FPS games don't even use any kind of sighting system.

You know this game was made by Id, as they seem to espouse the "all off-the-hip all-the-time" school of FPS game design.

Ah, you know what? Who am I kidding? I haven't even gotten through the second and third installment of S.T.A.L.K.E.R and the first one was way better than this.

Nevermind, I spoke too soon.

So they have a sight system for aiming.

You surprise me Id, you surprise me.

Yes, I'm also hoping that the game allows you to mod some aspects of it.

IIrc both Tim Willits and John Carmack said something along the lines of mods may not be possible in the game due to it's technical complexities.

If it turns out that no mods are allowed, I'm probably not going to buy the game since I'm really not a fan of full regenerating health and being limited to carrying only 2-4 firearms.

I don't get the appeal of the whole iron sights craze at all. Why would you want to spend a good portion of the game with a gun obscuring half the screen? What's so bad about abstracting that shit with a cross hair (unless you're going for some kind of hyper immersion like Condemned)?

I always figured that the entire point of iron sights was to compensate for the terrible fine control of console FPS games. Why put that shit on a PC?

That's what we told ourselves about Doom 3.


NEVER AGAIN
