One of the devs, I think JB, said something once about "combat optics" i think was the phrase he used. Nothing specific, but a red dot certainly falls into the combat optics catagory. And don't ask me to find the reference, it was back around all the e3 interviews and I'm just too lazy to look it up.

I'am not sure they have red dot sights in the 50's :S

I won't use em. But alot of people will.

I also do remember hearing about the combat optics as well.

» Tue May 17, 2011 12:39 am

only ones ive actually heard of are scopes, rate of fire mods and silencers. :/

» Tue May 17, 2011 1:43 pm

Pretty sure there wont be.

Then again, this is just an assumption.

I never thought they would have flying robots either but hey ho.

I know what you mean though.

Not sure the 50s had plasma rifles either

no but they may have had them in the 2050's.
Culture stayed in the 1950's
tech skyrocketed.
hell we have laser sights, im sure they did around the same time.

+1 lol

So yeah, I don't see anything wrong with laser sighting in NV!

Eh...they also didn't have plasma rifles and flying robots...

heh If I can slap a scope on ol ma duce I will be more than happy

I'm pretty sure all you're going to get is scopes. Not really the same, but who cares? Red dot sights just don't really seem to fit in. It'd be a waste of a perfectly good mod to have a non zoom optic.

» Tue May 17, 2011 8:18 am

Red dot would svck in a 30 fps environment anyways.

Why not both?

@lkt why?

Well, it's a good thing that the Fallout series does not take place in the 50s, and that the Great War didn't happen until 2077.

I honestly do not understand the whole "If it's not 50s, it's not Fallout" mindset.

Probably not as why would they bother putting a red dot laser sight on the gun when they can add an underslung fully damaging laser assembly (probably around the same strength as a weak laser pistol at a guess) instead.

» Tue May 17, 2011 5:51 am

Would it really fit in? How about a custom job featuring a magnifying glass with a crosshair painted on? I really don't know how well it would work. Then again considering the guns in fallout two it certainly seems plausible enough.

Well with the underslung damaging laser why would you need or want another attached laser which doesn't do any damage.

Plus given that New Vegas is an RPG all a laser sight should do is add a slight accuracy increase.
