Second that, a truly magnificent shooter that one.sageoftruth said:

Games with satisfying gunplay, but no ADS?

I'm gonna disagree with you there because I had to actually google the term ADS in order to figure out what this topic was about (and I do play FPSes). It's not a very intuitive acronym, nor have I heard it used before in any FPS that I've played.poiumty said:
If the OP just said "iron sights," it would make a lot more sense. You don't really need an acronym to express the concept when we have two perfectly good English words that convey the necessary concept perfectly intelligibly.
OT: Discounting third-person shooters, the big one I can think of is Halo. Halo 4 actually caught some flak from a "critic" for not having iron sights; there was a thread on the Escapist about it a while back. On PC, there's TF2, which is obviously a multiplayer-only experience (a totally free multiplayer experience!)
You could say something similar about most acronyms.bastardofmelbourne said:
Besides, are these iron sights
Yeah, i really miss the fun gory feedback of SOF in allmost all the new shooter games. It`s quite a bit sad since the second SOF is almost ten years old and there`s still no game out that matches the precise violence of this franchise(otherwise i dig the bulletholes in the latest Rockstar games).octafish said:

Aim down sights is a far more correct term, and ADS is a much shorter and easier way of typing it.
to be honest i didn't know what ADS meant either, and i asked a couple of my CS:GO friends and neither of them had heard it either (not arguing if you shouldn't use it or not, just adding my two cents in as never seeing that before.)poiumty said:
also, RTS Is a specific type of strategy game, while strategy could house a whole general genre of games (anything from civilization to age of empires to starcraft)
OT: from what i remember OP, battlefront II didn't have "ADS" (ooh look at me using new acronym's!) and that is easily one of my favorite shooters of all time, and i'm pretty sure the only community is still bustling about
To be honest, I was never into fast paced shooters. My brain could never handle it, with the sole exception of the original DOOM. Like, Team Fortress? Forget about it. I was dead before I even knew what was going on.Mr.K. said:
That does look a lot like what I meant. I'll take a better look at it when I have more time later. Thanks for the suggestion!Vern said:
I don't really like shooting robots outside of massive ones for boss fights. It kind of ruined Vanquish for me, which is sad because I loved the mechanics. Binary Domain was better about it, but the PC port had no small number of problems. Also fuckin' forced vehicle section. There was only one, but goddamn it was almost as bad as the hovercraft boat segment in Half-Life 2.Christopher Fisher said:

I'm not opposed to it. You are totally free to create contractions out of whatever combination of words you fancy in order to express complex concepts in a few short syllables. I was just pointing out that you should be aware that not everyone is guaranteed to know what you're talking about, and the less intuitive or commonplace your acronym, the less likely it is that you'll be clearly understood.
And when your reaction to people asking what you meant is to get huffy and elitist and insist that it's a "common" term that they should be familiar with, they're less likely to be interested in whatever it was you were saying in the first place.

That's ridiculously pedantic. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it's kind of absurd that you'd use the fact that iron sights are a subtype of gun sights as a reason for using an acronym that only people who hang out on Call of Duty forums are going to recognise.Itsthatguy said:
If that was really your concern, expend even less effort and just say "sights."
Valve games come to mind. I'm not sure that any of them have ADS on their guns, Half-Life and Left 4 Dead in particular. I also just finished Bioshock, and while that technically has an option to aim down the sights, you'll never use it because not doing so is far better.
Arma 2- Sniping dudes with a M1014. While hip-firing. The hip fire in ARMA is incredibly accurate, especially for a "Realistic" military sim. Get some slugs for your shotgun and its great! Love that game!
I suggest trying 3rd-person shooters as most of the shooting in them has you shooting guns from over-the-shoulder view instead of ADS.
ADS is an extremely common acronym. I don't even have a trophy/achievement for any Call of Duty game and I know what ADS stands for. Just like OTS (over-the-shoulder) aiming is a common acronym for TPSs.bastardofmelbourne said:
This post is funny, because the OP specifically calls out Bioshock and Half-Life for feeling like the guns are weak.Lord Garnaat said:
OT: ... I don't really know, to be honest. I've never really minded sight-aiming, so it's never bothered me. The guns feel pretty weighty in Metro 2033, but it still has sight-aiming, so.
Captcha: EDIT: Apparently it didn't like the way I linked it, oh well.

That's creepy, mostly because my name is David.
Rage and Far Cry 3 come to mind, but Rage has a lot of ADS as far as I can remember.
With Far Cry 3 you also have to buy the sights, but their relatively cheap.
Far Cry 3's shotguns are very powerful: When you get your hands on Spas 12, you will raise hell with it. I know I did.
