Re: red dot vs holographic sights

Voted Holo, but its all about the new ACOG...much better then the pointless cone in COD4 (love the cone IRL).

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

I like the holographic better too... *shrug*

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

Holographic works better for me, exactly why I haven't analyzed. Maybe the crosshairs coming into the dot focus my aim? Personally, I don't buy the less obstructed view as a reason to use RDS. Some ironsights obstruct a good portion of my view, but I can use some of them easier than RDS. It's all in the way the sight helps you pick up the target imho.

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

lol nobody really knows why but they like holographic?
red dot, it obstructs the view less.

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

I don't like the red dot that much. I find it to "simple", there must be more but I don't know how to say it. I prefer he holo as i feel it allows you to have more view under the aimer compared to the red-dot. This is just personal preference.

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

Also, (I'm assuming you're using the same weapons in both screenies) look how much lower the weapon's held with a HS compared to a RDS so there's less clunky metal in your face.

Yes, they are both on the SCAR-H.
I thought there might be some difference in how fast you can bring up the sights, or maybe in the grouping of shots. But I can see nothing measurable.

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

Judging by the images, the holographic sight looks better. The center dot's smaller which would make it more accurate.

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

if you like the red dot then vote!

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

Red dot, the holographic's outer circle is useless to me and just blocks my view.

Invasion, just right in one of the corners, the corner near the big house thing.

Yes, you can see the HMMMMMMMMMMMV convoy on the minimap

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

yeah depth of field is annoying as hell as it blurs out everything outside of your aim. i turned mine off quick like i did with COD4.

but good point about holographic being bigger/thicker obstructing view more than red dot. btw, what map is that vreki?

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

Same screenshot without depth of field. I can see the difference, but doubt that I will notice it while playing.

Re: red dot vs holographic sights

OT: Why in the world would you play with depth of field on?

I just play with default settings, so I havent really thought much about it.
