Default Are there sights that don't take up the whole screen?

I'm not talking about iron sights either... I've noticed that in all of the gameplay videos the scopes have taken up the whole screen. Will there be any scopes that don't do this. Like a reflex sight or something?

I'm not sure but all I have seen is the scopes taking up everything when they zoom in.

I'm not sure what your question is...

Explain these "reflex sights."

Probably smaller ACOG size scopes, one of the disadvantages to using scopes is you have a larger blind spot, same for rocket launchers and other heavy weapons.

They're commonly called red-dot sights., I'll find a pic.

Reflex sights should not be confused with laser sights, which actually project a point of light directly onto a target

Not that i know of. I mean... it's supposed to be first-person shooting right, so you should be seeing the guns how you would actually see them when you shoot them when using the sites.

Those are iron sights, and he means the scopes.

Although I don't think there will be scopes don't take up a lot of the screen... It's one of the difficulties of sniping, being limited to what the scope sees.

Basically, when you bring the gun to your face, will it take as much room as a sight, because you are able to see more than what you are currently aiming at. I can't remember from the trailer if the portion of the screen that isn't scope is black and empty.

Every scope that I've seen is the same red crosshair w/spinning things. There are a bunch of different iron sights, and at least one white dot reflex sight that I've seen. There have also been a bunch of guns that look like the have reflex sights mounted, but I didn't see any of them aimed in first person.

Watch this video from 0:30 to 0:40 to see the white dot.
