Have you ever looked down the sights of any rifle?

Only an SKS, but it's not just how close the sights are. It looks like the gun is gigantic, it takes up the entire bottom half of the screen and you can't see anything around it. It's particularly noticeable with handguns. It's like the character brings his pistol right in front of his face and then somehow his eyeballs automatically zoom in.

The follow-up to True Combat: Elite

Nope, sorry. Check the posts again, I listed the games.

Also, I haven't played TC:E in ages, so I haven't even heard of CQB the game before.

The difference between real life and games is we don't deal with limited graphics in real life like on video games limiting our vision. Red Orchestra is like this and its very difficult to see and I would be better off with the rifle in real life than in that game.
