Sights

We need more sights or just better customization. there is lot of good sights but if i find good sight the zoom level sucks.

it would be amazing to change reticle and zoom level

    There are a lot more bad sights than good sights: between those that are entirely inappropriate to the gun, those that are too small, those that have crappy reticles, those that fill too much of the screen so you can't see what's happening outside of it...

    I basically cycle through 3 sights unless I'm sniping, a 1.75, a 2.00, and the 2.50, depending on gun and map. I prefer the reticle of the 2.50 to all the others. That's 3 out of how many? There is nothing more depressing than leveling up a gun and the reward is a sight I will never use.

    So yeah, being able to change the reticle would be great. The reason it won't happen is because I'm pretty sure the devs think all these scopes are interesting "content"...

    I'm not against further customisation for sights but it's pretty obvious that sights you don't like someone else might find comfortable. There isn't many sights you can call objectively "bad" and they're based on real world ones which is why they are varying degrees of different.

    Sure, but in real life, I'm putting my eye right up to it if it's not a reflex, I don't get this weird not quite up-to-it same-distance-for-all-zooms look. But sure, there is a set of sights that people or other may prefer, but there are still a lot that are objectively bad:

    • Those that are physically bulky hide a lot of what's going on outside of the sight, including more opponents. Some may like the reticle, but something more discreet just gives better awareness. 
    • Some of the reticles are so big they entirely hide the silhouettes when the opponent is at a bit of a distance. Even if you enjoy the particular reticule for its shape, you're losing awareness.

     

    I'm less definite on the very small diameter scopes, but they're still worst to get a quick read of a situation. Heck, it's why the thermal x3 is so unpopular. 

    But then I think most would agree there are scopes that are mostly inadequates or at least see very little use depending on the gun. Mostly it's the very strong zooms on guns that have no ability to kill at a distance. The reverse is somehow less true, as I know some people are happy putting almost no zoom even on a sniper rifle, but I'm never happy unlocking a x1.25 for that kind of rifle.
