    I wonder if CS:GO will have iron sights.

    I wonder if CS:GO will have iron sights.

    It won't. If it's anything like previous CS, by the time you've brought your rifle up to your eye to aim you'll already have two bullets lodged in your brain.

    *edit: except sniper rifles of course.

    Counter-Strike doesn't need aim down sights. Counter-Strike is a twitch shooter, much like the Unreal Tournament and Quake franchises. Games like COD and Battlefield, Killzone etc are not, as you have to use ADS to get an accurate shot over medium to long distance.

    As arcam above says, the only guns that need ADS in Counter-Strike are the scoped rifles.

    Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this. I hope user generated content is supported on PS3 as well as PC. I would love to see the Winter versions of the default maps available on CS:GO along the Summer version of cs_office.

    graphically, already looks dated - 5 years behind the curve, at least.

    The graphics will be simplified on purpose, CS is a game where everything needs to clear, easily visible and stand-out, I don't want foliage, depth of field, motion blur, weather effects and all those other crappy shader effects getting in the way of the core gameplay. This game is built for competitive play remember, not to be a showcase for a graphics card company.

    The more crap you put on screen the harder it is to see what's going on in a fast-paced game.

    I was watching a gameplay video of this not so long ago, It looks ok and everything, but somethings wierd about it, and I think it might be that the guns look too small? I know that sounds like a stupid thing to say, but they just do. Plus I don't like the cross hair.
