Will do.

Funnily enough I didn't notice it during gameplay- it was only when I watched a replay recorded in fraps that I noticed it.

I might wait for the 0.45 update, because it sounds like the png area will be expanded. If that's the case I'll have to update all these sights anyway, which I'm happy to do. Stay tuned...

Thanks for noticing, it's just a little aesthetic thing that's annoying.

Anybody can download a wallhack too, or steal a car, if they want to. "Anybody can do it" is clearly not an argument to say it's not cheating. I used to run an online gaming league, and this would absolutely be classified as cheating. That said, seeing as this is early beta and the iron sights that come with the game are horrible enough that many people don't want to play with it, pluss the fact that nobody is playing competitively in an organized fasion yet, I think it's harsh to call it cheating.

Anyone can hack.

Anyone can grief.

I already said that and I'll say that in every goddamn ironsights thread.

And Gnome, you're right- I'll update it soon. I think I'll enlarge the circle as well, to give a visual cue that matches the zoom-in effect.

I just customized mine earlier, its nice to be able to customize your own crosshair however you want.

It doesn't give any real advantages, you still have to know how to shoot straight, this just makes it easier to see through all the crap you shouldn't have to struggle with in the first place

its 85% aesthetics and 15% performance

and just like Hydrotrope stated, anybody can do it!

because anybody can do it

how is this not cheating?

thanks so much for this, awesome sights

Well cmon guys. It is not cheating and it is not even like cheating. Everyone can have that advantage. Just download this thing that has normal hipfire scope and you will see just perfectly - i personally prefer my white dot tho. Cheating would mean that you break the rules of the game, thus gaining unfair advantage over other players. This is just making a skin, not giving any advantage in accuracy and very little advantage in aiming, considering that everyone can just come here, dl one of these and tadaa.

its like hacking. not everyone knows how do it and they would if they could.

Awesome, but on the simple sight, the top and bottom are cut of a little.

I'm getting a bit sick of seeing all these 'cheating' comments. It is NOT cheating. It is available to everyone.

You talk about how difficult it is to use the original sights like it's a good thing. Not everyone likes being forced to play like they have Parkinson's disease when using the sights. A game should always show you if the shot you fired hit it's mark. The default ironsights block your shot from view. Having to whip it down or look exclusively at the chatlog to see if you got them is NOT smooth gameplay. You can't even see the blood spray that is supposed to let you know you scored a hit.

Editing the ironsights and the ability to do so has changed the gameplay for the better. You want to use the old system? Go ahead. You still can, and nobody can stop you. But don't start complaining when everyone else decides to use a sight that is far less clunky.

Removing the checksum was far nicer of Ben than bringing it back would ever be. I have no idea why you see it as nicer the other way. You play the game YOUR way, and at least have the common decency to let us play it OUR way.

sweet, thanks

ah, whatever, until then, you can "cheat" too if you feel that it is unfair, or dont cheat at all, i dont care, i'll just close this firefox tab and play some AoS

Same game play= no cheat

still 'feels like' cheating, maybe he'll make it nicer and restore the checksum later :)

then just edit your inronsight like everyone else, there was a checksum some time ago but it was removed

because you can't see the target, if you are going for a headshot, the rest of the target is completely blocked. especially at long range where you have white fog vs black iron sights. its REALLY hard to track a target with iron sights on. I end up aiming down, and then snapping up to take the shot. without the big black thing blocking the body of the target it'd be much easier to track and shoot them.

hard to aim? why? its the best you can since the aim is two pixels wide, if you put just one for extra precision you'll end up with an inaccurate sight, explain to me why do you find it hard to aim with them

'practically cheating' because the regular iron sights really suck imo. it's really hard to aim with them. It's obviously not ACTUALLY cheating because there is no check for it, but it gives you a huge advantage.

how come having an extra open space in the bottom of your screen is cheating? enemies would often pop at the center of the screen or above

I said practically cheating... either the regular iron sights needs to be better, or protected so people don't have an unfair advantage...

the game only runs in 32bit color mode I don't think 256 color mode will fix anything. If anything you want to up your 16 bit color to 32bit

... EDIT: nvm you mean for that other game DUR

ugh, i'm sick of those people saying that editing ironsights is cheating, well fuck, edit yours too if you think it's unfair
