Controller Configuration Trouble | Forums

[Mark_BHK]

I recently purchased rainbow six vegas two and have been playing the game and I really enjoy every aspect of the game except the fact that you can't press either L1 or L2 ( left shoulder buttons) to look down the scope or iron sights. This configuration is so comfortable and I'm so accustomed to it from playing medal of honor, call of duty, far cry 2, battlefield bad company, and all the other shooters I just can't handle using the R3 (pressing in the right stick) to pull up the iron sights. I normally play all shooter games on the hardest setting but I have to play this one on easy because the controller configuration feels so foreign. Does anyone know if it's possible to download new controller configurations and use them with the game on the PS3. I would really enjoy this game if there were some way to accomodate this one small change, I hope there is the game looks so great, it would be a terrible shame if I never played it through because it didn't have left shoulder-right shoulder standard shooter configuration.

Those are the only configurations. Look at the bright side, aiming down sight is pointless in RSV2.

agreed it does nothing to help your accuracy and you actually get more visual recoil.

Thanks, you guys are right, I've been playing into it more and I've gotten the feel for it, it just felt so different at first I was getting frustrated, I never played video games before PS3 so this is the first game I've played where firing from the hip is the way to go. Thanks.

Hey piecemaker,

My accuracy is like 55% and higher when i aim down sights...it does take awhile for someone to get used to the recoil, but i think its way better than hip firing

hmm...there are no stats that separate ADS from hip firing so how are you coming up with 55%?

As far as the game coding is concerned, ADS is no more accurate than hip firing in RSV2.

Hip firing wins over ads any day of the week.

[promeythozi1981]

I get the 55% from when i play in rooms, i will use one or the other...i will use single shot and i can put many in U b4 i get hit (zoom or no zoom). Have u guys tried to ADS cuz it is not hard to get used to. Works great on ten bar lames. I can have the AKS with no scope or G36 with a reflex or acog. I play the same way on high stakes. Not sure why ppl believe hip fire is better? of course u can do burst but ur not accurate at all unless u get a lot of headshots or one hit kills. if any1 has a 360 im down to play. U 2 sure u play the same game cuz ads IS way more accurate man.

Despite whether its more accurate or not I personally thought the ads in both Vegas games was bad. To me it feels less accurate and the visual recoil is weird which made me less accurate.I used only hip fire because if we were playing and equally skilled whos going to win the gun fights? Im going to win them almost every time and it has little to do with accuracy. If both ways of aiming were equally as accurate or for argument sake ads was more accurate then it still wouldn't make up for the ads speed. To me the payoff of not using ads is way more significant then the possibility of maybe having a little more accuracy. Before somebody even got me in their sights theyd already be dead because of the time it takes to bring their gun up.

Id play but I dont have an Xbox anymore.
