The addition of aiming down sights definitely makes it feel like a more modern shooter - amongst all the other graphical tweaks.
Wait. There is iron sights now? Official or a mod? Link please.
That is one of my biggest issues with the game. I still don’t think I’ll participate since I don’t have data to download the game again, but for future reference.
Here you go: http://cinematicmod.com/cinematic_mod_2013.php
It’s pretty much a total conversion mod but you can customise what you want changed and within those options there is one to allow iron sights. It’s a pretty big download though.
How does that compare to Half Life 2: Update?
HL2: update maintains the “artistic integrity” of the original and stays strictly within the bounds of atmosphere that the developer intended, whereas the cinematic mod basically changes LOTS. theres a comparison vid even between the 3 (vanilla/cinematic/update)
EDIT: I’d say, if you haven’t played HL2…get hl2-update. if you’ve played hl2 and want to do gameclub, do cinematic mod
