This is a little off topic, but in one of the threads, it was mentioned taking longer to shoulder your weapon etc and aim? Or was it just about the no more dolphin diving

I think we are using the same setup as FH2. The main visual difference between BFK's sights and FH2's, is BFK has an artificial stilled motion blur on most of the weapons sights.

The only way to have 3d look correct anyways is if you blur the front part of the model which would be kind of counter productive anyways. If you notice now the 2d sights do have another layer of them, where is the 3d/2d little sight stick that moves around at the end of the weapon with sway and when you move etc.

Well the "2d iron sights" can still be animated just like any of the others, so technically you could have a 3d bolt, 2d rear sight, and 3d front post.

Doesn't vBF2 use a combination of 2D and 3D iron-sights?

Yes it does as far as I understand how these sights are in FH2 and vBF2: rear sight 2D and front part 3D.

It's very easy to try and take this linear approach to video games. Making everything a 3D model seems to make sense. As does making ultra realistic graphics. But the approach is actually flawed and wrong because a video game is based on smoke and mirrors and illusions ... nothing is really there. Therefore making everything into a "real" 3D model does not make sense. Fake actually = even more real. Look at the Japanese obsession with robotics. They found that making robots that are too close to real does not work. It actually freaks out your senses and you can't concentrate anymore ! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

But back to iron sights. Comparing the screenshots ( here ) I notice a selective focus effect that is like tilt shift photography. See...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photography

It's also some what like Tilt-shift miniature making ... see...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_miniature_faking

Deliberate ? I read one of the dev's saying that FH is his model railway ! (sorry can't remember which one). Anyhow, it all adds up to the unique look and feel of FH.

Though I think 3D sights look "cooler", the current sighting system is more realistic. 3D sights are really annoying at times because when you look through them you have to somehow spot your enemy through a tiny peep hole or something similar. In real life your eyes focus on the target or forward sights -- not on the rear sight. Thus, the back sights look blurred and you can see "through" them to the target. with 3D sights, it's as if your guy is staring at the gun, which makes no sense at all.

hmm..

If done propperly they might look good. I atleast adore the No4 sights from Project Reality, wouldn't mind seeing something like that for FH2.
