I am in LOVE with this gosh darn golly gee whiz sight. I've been waiting for something like this since forever. The closest we've had was BO2's hybrid, but it was garbage compared to this. If you haven't tried it on an AR/LMG yet (not sure if it's an option on marksman rifles, but it'd be sweet here as well), do yourself a favor and GET IT. Huge, open, unobstructed view with this thing, with a very narrow frame. I don't really see why you'd want any other optic. I use it as an RDS 85% of the time, and switch on the magnification when I get to one of those long sight lines.
Which leads me to my question: is there any reason now to use the reflex, eotech, or ACOG??? The only use I see for any of these is a reflex on a rangier SMG with horrible irons (MTARX), and even then only because the recoil isn't good enough to make use of a magnifier.
I just haven't seen much of this sight yet, but plenty of RDS and ACOGs. Granted, I wouldn't have bought it myself, but it came for free on the M27 in the heavy gunner class, and I fell in love.
Discuss.

I have yet to test, but with the iron sight/tracker sight thing is that tracker sights irons give some shitass sway when moving. And some of these might give some ads time penalties. If there's absolutely no downside to the VMR, then it's a top tier attachment

Btw VMR stands for venomous manatee rectum. Dumbass.

I picked up the M27 after another DenBro beasted me in a public lobby with this setup. I run the M27 with a silencer and "camp" or patrol an area. Its sick. Dat VMR!

That's my combo with the M27 as well, VMR and silencer. I run quickdraw, stalker and agility. Both QD and stalker feel faster than their BO2 counterparts, at least where LMGs are concerned. Anyone know if VMR's are available on marksman rifles?

Hands down the best sight. The tiny rim, two great mag options and complete lack of reticle sheen. Stupidly the marksman rifles would benefit the most from them and they're NOT an option

I do agree that it's nice, but is it worth an attachment slot? I mean I usually go grip and muzzle brake or grip and extended mags so I don't see the allure in using a sight

I usually forget sights in general but some irons in this game are huge. I've got one on the Mtar and MSBS. Go NEKKID on FAD or 2010. I just wish I, as I'm forced to, was able put one on the MR's

Yeah there were no such things as bad irons sights in bo2. The worst was probably the ballista irons (R.I.P.) here we got dat mtar irons. MSBS I can actually deal with

Whenever possible I try to use iron sights because the extra attachments are more valuable if you can handle them nicely.
Unfortunately this game has by far the worst iron sights in a game to date. There are very few that I actually like. Im a fan of rapid fire/silencer with the lsat and M27, but outside of that I need an optic.
Thus im going to give this a shot tonight.

How is the thermal hybrid in this game? It's available on MRs..

It's the best thermal in cod history in my opinion

That thermal is amazing. The rds alternative is great for CQC.

A good number of the sights are amazing in this game.
I even like the EOtech. I use it when I am trying to get used to a gun. Helps me to visualize the range outside of the graphs.

I guess I must be that one odd guy who can actually use any iron sight (except for the G36C).

Cod4 g36c was the only gun in the entire cod series that I actually couldn't use with iron sights. Something about them just sucked. Like unless the guy was standing still or so close that he was outside my sights, I couldn't kill him. I would actually lose targets as I was shooting them.

whats the point of a venomous rectum? how could something possible utilize that? that would be such an inconvenient manner of injecting venom. You've clearly never watched Bad Grandpa, have you? Watch now, and be amazed. ._. It's the best thermal in cod history in my opinion After using it last night, I'm gonna say hell ****ing no. The fact that it lights up team players just like enemy players is a real drag. Not to mention on snowy maps.. BO2 has the best thermal vision by far IMO.

I always thought it was so ridiculous that on a snowy map, where players should stand out better than ever on a "thermal", its actually useless.

I like it but agree on the teammate thing. I look for the name above them. As enemy names show up so rarely you just shoot the ones without a name tag most of the time.
