Well let's see, when you hit F, you're simply zooming in, when looking down ironsights you have an aiming aid, it's also alot cooler than just zooming in.

Crosshair is already an aiming aid, and "It's cooler" just adds to the fact it's cosmetic and does not affect gameplay postively. Your screen is covered up by a weapon model, thus impairing your FOV.

Having a more narrow FOV let's you focus on a single target better. Ironsights also would be an aiming aid because, some people don't use crosshairs.

The feature is already implemented in the game, why remake it with a clumsy weapon model? I could understand your argument if Blockland was a full-out FPS game, but it's not. If people don't use the crosshair, they should. It's an implemented feature with zoom, giving you the same thing as ADYS.

Both would still probably use the "f" zoom rate, so all you'd be getting is an overglamourized zoom.
I think it's possible.

CoD: Finest hour is pretty good man. So is Big Red One, and WaW (IMO).

CoD, United Offensive, and CoD2=best.

Blockland doesn't have a main objective or anything, it's just a sandbox game, if I want, I can make it a full-out FPS game, just because, all you do is build doesn't mean that everyone else only builds.

Just because you can do something does not mean you should do it. As I stated, it's already implemented. ADYS is just an overglamourized zoom feature.

but then why would the old school rifle get to zoom in with a scope then???
