Don't hate us 'cause we're beautiful.

I take no blame for TRay hitting the NC with the ugly stick. He did that on his own.

It does make me happy though

I was digging the red illuminated TR ironsights as well. They're no holosights, but the cycler was looking pretty good in that night fighting.

But that sounds like too much work for the developers.

But then I have to go through all the effort of using my brain and making a decision! Oh pooh. Why do these game makers have to make it so hard on me? wah wahwah

I'd rather be ugly than purple and teal.

Wouldn't it be cool to edit your own holographic sight, and store it entirely clientside? Something like a very simple shape editor that defines the holograph.

You know, instead of adding thousands of different holographic sights to a selection list or having a limited selection.

yeah that would be awesome.

Or you could be rude through sarcasm instead of pointing out why you don't like it in a worthwhile manner.

There are pros and cons.

Ah yes, that works. There is a not good not bad voxel game called Ace of ******, think Minecraft with guns and no items. So you place/destroy blocks. But you can customise your view when you aim down the sights, so i gave the rifle a scope. gave the smg a reflex sight and left the shotgun because it was useless. So customising our own sights would be awesome. But... then it would 2D instead of 3D. so it would look out of place. Unless you had a special program to make it with.

Infinite weapon sights, 3$ each....

Last I saw not many of these soldiers are using their eyes without something over it (like a helment...you know one with a big'ol bright HUD in there too?).

I think its the ammount of screenspace covered by the neon area.

versus

Even if the blanked out areas can't be seen through its an improvement.

A slightly more complex idea.

It's a holo-sight have some fun with it, rangefinder, thermal scope, digital clock, target shield status.
Vanu have the tech edge, lets use it for more than the carapace armour and plasma guns.

Also, the Vanu armour is coveresd in hexes, why use squares on the holo-sight?

IMMentat · 2012-05-22, 09:44 PM

It'll probably be a cash-shop option later, but the default cross-hair be unoffensive.

@Toppopia
The sight is just a pair of 2D images so customising the rear "bracket" and muzzle "pin" areas would be easy enough to do.
16:30 ish in the night ops video so see them to best effect.

i retract my previous statement, change them, they're too bright and have major blind spot issues.
