no accurate FPS games

Why, EOTechs don't need front sights to aim properly, they are built to be a one sight optic (like a scope). Same with the Tascos and such.

I just shot an OA-98 with an EOTech 552 sight and I hit where I aimed, without a front sight required.

You can actually see guys serving today with M4A1s in this fashion. It makes aiming easier.

I played the demo for "CoD 4" and really didn't understand what everyone thought was so realistic about it. Even though I almost never play PC/video games anymore, I really didn't find it a whole lot more realistic than games I played 4-5 years ago.

I haven't tried "Far Cry 2" yet. I don't think my laptop could handle it...

Far Cry 2 gets boring pretty quick, and CoD 4 does as well. Only reason I'll go back into Far Cry 2 is for the M79. I'll probably screencap the page soon. As far as the series goes, though, the original Far Cry was the best. I still play and enjoy it.

i would refuse to not have iron sights, id want at least lip up irons. Remember, an eotech is battery powered and can break. Scope lenses can crack. Irons are always trusty

[Gunmaster45]

But not always user friendly. An EOTech or Tasco sight is very easy to use in close quarters and can break just like the sight posts on your rifle. Those things are built to last. I've used both sights before when it comes to shooting things fast and accurate at 50yards or so, they come in handy.

BTW, K9870, I hope you don't write like that on the site, dude. Use proper cases, capital letters, etc.

[k9870]

I like optics, just want a reliable backup if something goes wrong. Id never trust an electric device 100%. I need iron sights availible, no matter what.

[Gunmaster45]

Unfortunately you can't have your cake and eat it too in most cases, since most optic sights get in the way of iron sights. Some scope mounts try to fix this but make aiming awkward and decrease accuracy.

Back on topic with accurate shooters, I noticed some shooters like Black, Bad Company and Far Cry 2 designed all their guns with the shells ejecting like it's a lefty gun. Why is that? Is it because they couldn't get copy rights or something?

[k9870]

No, so you see shells ejecting because its cool.

And Gunmaster, there are flip up irons, not as good but good enough if your primary optic breaks.

Nah, trademarks just affect whether they can use the same brand name (think CS back when it first went retail). As K9870 said, they just show guns ejecting from the left because it's perceived as looking cooler. Although lately, I've seen fewer games doing this...
