Red dot or ACOG?

[Evil Spongebob]

I really don't see the point of ACOG (apart from snipers), it adds sway, looks terrible as hell and takes up too much of your screen when zoomed and running around.

just my £0.02 =]

I use ACOG in Counter Sniper loadouts. The red dot or Reflex sight is good for most situations in CoD4 because the maps are so small.

IMO, the ACOG reduces accuracy as a balancing mechanism. If it increased range and accuracy, no one would use the other sight. I bet it made certain weapons too powerful, too.

Remember, this is a game and those attachments modify the calculations performed while you use your weapon. Unusual combos can give some interesting results: like an ACOG on a Skorpion for example.

I guess you can say that the accuracy is reduced because of 2 things:

1. The weapon is heavier (although scopes are light..)
2. The same sway looks bigger when you are zoomed in.

i use the red dot because if i stay zoomed in, i also have perfeal(sp?) vision. with the acog scope, i only see whats there.

the only kit i use acog on is the sniper one;

semi auto sniper + acog
R700 sniper + scope


^ i carry both at once with overkill, means that i can do long range stuff and if there are a load running down a street i can still take all of them out, without steadying.

red dot all the way. theres no point to the acog since most of the maps in cod4 are not large enough for some serious mid-long range automatic fire.there are 2 big problems with the acog. 1.) it sways way too much. if its gonna be used it gonna needs to act like the sniper scopes and allow the user to hold their breath for maybe 3-5 seconds to take accurate shots or some other way of dealing with the horrible swaying. in real life the cross hair of the acog would not be all over the place, it would be in line with the iron sight on the front of the gun assuming its still there. the gun itself should be swaying not the cross hair of the scope. it makes it look like the damn thing is not attached correctly and is falling off or something. freakin annoying. 2.) its size relative to the rest of the gun its on and the view of it on screen (the thing looks larger than the guns you put it on when it should be just a bit larger than the red dot)

I prefer the Acog scope on the M16/M4 over the Red Dot.

[imported_Infiltrator]

Lol, do you have a script to take a screenshot every time you kill someone?

[sgt.collins]

i think he might just take a ss every time he killed that guy

[solofowaffles]

Lol, do you have a script to take a screenshot every time you kill someone?

nope.

[Kodakk]

Yeah, my pc would have overloaded with all the pics I would have had of me killing you.

BTW, that first screenshot, that was after I killed you 5 times? lol

*Also, Solo, by now whenever I picture you, you look like that fat cat in your avatar cuz I see it so damn much.
