Black Mesa Iron Sights: The Pros and Cons of Using Them in Combat



In brief, these trends are: regenerating health, iron sights, limited weapon inventory, reduced weapon variety with a greater focus on hitscan weapons, slow pace of movement, low jump height, linear or front-focused level design, enemy homogenization, and high lethality. Each of these are trends that influence and reinforce each other in different ways, and the relationship between these will be covered as this article and series goes on.


Bullet spread refers to how guns tend not to fire projectiles directly where your reticule points, but rather to fire randomly within a cone around the reticle. Some games like Counter-Strike have a mostly deterministic pattern for how bullets will spread, each gun following a pattern with a small random variance on where exactly it falls, where most games simply have bullets veer off in any direction. In games with iron sights, hip-fire is the mode where bullet spread is most prevalent, and in iron sights mode it is reduced or completely disabled in favor of recoil. Bullet spread negatively affects even older shooter games where rapid fire weapons like chain guns or machine guns frequently had a variance in their firing trajectory.

The separation between tactical and twitch shooters is that once all the twitch elements have been removed from a game only the barest levels of tactics are left. As in many genres of competitive game, many aspects of the strategy rely on the execution requirement. With iron sights, shooting well or avoiding damage no longer matters as much as squad formations and positioning, which mattered in the more twitch shooters prior, but twitch shooters had additional skills that the players could master and demonstrate in addition to positioning that made their strategy more complex. The overall shift is that tactical shooters now emphasize the tactics of the team as a whole rather than the skill of the individual. This is not because it has better team tactics than the old twitch shooters, but simply because that is all tactical shooters have when the most tactical thing players can do is choose where they will be on the map and whether to engage.


I'm not sure if there are any mods to enable leaning, but I thought I'd add that. Something that I've felt has been lacking from Half Life ever since it has become a bigger part in games, is iron sights. I just think it would feel better to aim down the sight with the guns in Half Life 2 now, so I was wondering if anyone has tried any out and if you could recommend me one. I haven't searched for a leaning mod, but that would be pretty cool too in my opinion. Thanks.


@audiobusting: @ezekiel: I still think the enemies, from an animation perspective go down in satisfying ways when you shoot them, but not being able to aim down the sights to me feels too archaic now when playing Half Life, when it's an otherwise fantastic experience still. Leaning would be a nice plus to me. Yeah, I saw that mod, but it looked like it changed too much. I don't want to really change a lot of its identity, I just want to implement a nice iron sight function, and leaning if possible.


nononon NO NO NO NOOOO. Iron sights do not fit with half life's gameplay, HL is a fast paced shooter, iron sights are a gameplay mechanic that only fits in slower paced realistic-ish shooters. Although in cod it's used as a magicly-improve-accuracy-and-autoaim-button.


The Colt Anaconda replaces the Python from the original game. Its model is a retextured version of the one from Half-Life 2, and like that game, it is misidentified as a Python, with its markings reading ".357 PYTHON" and its ammo boxes being labeled as .357 Magnum. The secondary fire key toggles the iron sights with increased zoom.


This update also fixes a bug related to the engine not detecting controllers. Not only that, but it fixes a crash related to marionettist. It also fixes Xbow classic iron sights not rendering crosshair, and adds an option in new UI to toggle Classic Iron Sights ON/OFF.


There are a lot of back up iron sights out there, with their own differences and improvements over their predecessors. Some are fixed, some are collapsable. Some are in-line with the top rail, others are offset to be used in conjunction with a long, magnified optic. If you own an AR-15 or other modern sporting rifle, you probably like to try different optics and different configurations every now and then, which means accruing a junk drawers worth of different iron sight sets.


The hole in the marketplace is that there wasn't one pair of iron sights that were flexible enough to do-it-all. That, and nearly every offset sight on the market is designed to hang off the right side of the gun, leaving lefties out completely. Well, the guys over at Griffin Armament were pondering the same problems, and as a solution came out with their Micro Modular Back Up Sights.


Also known simply at M Sights, they are flip up front and rear iron sights that mate with a dovetail-like base, secured together and tightened with a set screw. The use of the dovetailed joint allows for easy swapping between inline and offset, and also the reversal of the offset bases for either left or right handed shooters. The vertical set screw method is best way to secure the sight in place, while doing away with any unnecessary bulk that comes from a clamping design.


Not having an mechanical flip up feature also does away with extra moving parts, and thus removes variables that could fail. A simpler design can be a stronger and more reliable solution, and that's exactly what you want if your life depends on your rifle, and your iron sights are all you got.


The M Sight Deployment Kit is a well thought out backup iron sight system that fixes several issues that experiences guys have been wanted resolved. It combines the aesthetics of the more minimal backup sights like that of the FN SCAR, while using a modular attachment system previously unseen on a sight itself. Plus, they look to be one of the tankiest low profile iron sets I've come across. That, coupled with the angled ambidextrous bases that come included, make it a 'buy once, never buy again' upgrade.

The short video showing the On a Rail chapter, which is captured from a "fairly old build" of the user mod, was designed using the latest version of Valve's Source engine. However Half-Life fans are already criticising the use of iron sights for the .357 Magnum, a zoom feature made available in the single-player campaign.


Black Mesa State Park and Nature Preserve is located in Oklahoma's panhandle along the tri-state border with Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. Black Mesa takes its name from the layer of black lava rock that coated the mesa about 30 million years ago. Visitors to the preserve can hike to the top of the plateau, Oklahoma's highest point at 4,973 feet above sea level.


North about 15 miles from the Black Mesa State Park. From 209th West Avenue (Prue Road) and Highway 64 / 412 exit - Travel north along Prue Road approximately 2 miles. The entrance is directly across from the second cell phone tower and features a large sandstone and black iron gate.Click here for a map.


Own both the BAR and the HCAR purchased from Ohio Ordnance Works. Both weapons are chambered in 30.06 , but the better weapon is the BAR. Has the military appearance and is damn accurate. Shot the BAR with iron sights at a human silhouette at 438 yards, which looks like a postage stamp at that distance and could consistently hit the target. HCAR to me is like an AR on steroids. Heavy and cumbersome, still a nice weapon. Mr.Landies really got it right with the BAR they produced.
