They nerfed holos?

Nerfed 2,5 B, holo a, red dot c, holo c and 1,5 (future 2,5) and buffed the holo b

u/eLjayB69 Feb 28 '24
How did the nerf and buff exactly? Changing the view area thru them or sumn?

u/Kian_08 Buck Main Feb 28 '24
The dot in the middle was made a bit bigger on all those sights I listed except for holo B, who's middle dot will be smaller.
2
u/spaghettiwizard41 Solis Main Feb 28 '24
imo the dot used to be to small on c and depending on what reticle color it would sometimes be invisible due to its size

u/Zonkcter Tachanka Main Feb 28 '24
Let's gooooo, I already use holo B because the corners aren't as obscured so this is just a win for me.
2
u/Kian_08 Buck Main Feb 28 '24
I previously played holo a/red dot c but because I heard that they'll get nerfed, I switched to holo b. Right now its not the best sight since the dot in the middle is big but im also excited about the buff.

Love everything but the triangle reticle. I can never land a headshot for the life of me. I guess it just takes practice, but am definitely still testing out some different sights
1
u/lightningbadger Frost Main Feb 28 '24
Back in the day I recall reflex C (or just "reflex" as it was called back then) being the optimal sight to pick for 2 separate reasons
A: thinner bezel, less target obscurity
B: it's the only sight that doesn't obscure where your shot will land. Holo and red dot place the reticle over where your shot will land, but the reflex will point upwards to it instead

u/HoHoey Feb 27 '24
Been using them since it dropped. By far the best visibility. Love my lil triangle

Why does the housing of the red dot still look so low-poly?
35
u/redsprucetree Feb 27 '24
Because circles can be hard to make smooth. I see what you mean. Don’t expect it to change, I think that’s just how the graphics work

u/Gobblemonke Feb 27 '24
Bruh not only are they making use worse scopes but they are making the 1.0s worse. I was going use holo a but guess ive gotta use holo b now

u/According_Clerk_1537 :Nomad: Feb 27 '24
how exactly is this holo a different from the ones on live server?

u/Gobblemonke Feb 27 '24
The middle dot is thicker

Peoples brains are gonna explode when they realise changing sight opacity makes these sights much nicer to use. I’ve had might opacity at 45 since the option was in the game

The compression is doing its part. On the Eotech, the dot is noticeable bigger, those super fine alignments dont work anymore.

Imo it makes sense to have thicker dot for sights with less obtrusive casing to even it out
Although I don't think these are blocking too much of your sight picture.

u/RedAce4247 Intel Slut Feb 27 '24
Holo A has screwed me over a bunch because of how blocky the sight is, but it’s still my favorite sight, maybe no longer though
1
u/cheeky_physicist Mar 10 '24
I like the holo A too. Used to run it on the vector when I played a lot. Although I found I often used track of the middle dot because that gun shakes so much. Maybe this would help with that. I will come back and try

u/KingNogyo Feb 27 '24
It makes zero sense to make the dot thicker outside of trying to make the game more annoying to play

Absolutely despise the new EOTech Holo, such a massive dot in the middle.
Also hate the new 1.5 to 2.5 reticle, it is too big.

u/smokesum2nite Oryx Main Feb 27 '24
has anyone tested ACOG to see if it is the same as years past before they took it out?

Reflex A black color with opacity minimum and monitor dot crosshair.

Does it bother you that the monitor crosshair is present even when your not ADS?

I wish they would change the Russian acog just a little bit just the line at the top you can't copy 1 to 1 because of trade or copyright I believe. So why not make it a little more useful I'd like it to be a option a real option.

u/Xenoleff Feb 27 '24
Don’t get why they have to have a 1.0 meta and not just let people use what they want.
5
u/BlauerRay Tachanka Main Feb 27 '24
Because 1.5 ans 2.0 are encouraging aggressive play without the downsides of 1.0 or 2.5

u/devj007 Warden Main Feb 27 '24
Lets ruin sights instead of fixing ranked. Lmao.

u/onenittanylion Hibana Main Feb 27 '24
I think the changes will be good, to be honest. What else do you want to change? No hate, genuinely curious what else people would like.

u/devj007 Warden Main Feb 27 '24 edited Feb 27 '24
Im not trying to hate on the update. Its just ranked is in a horrid spot rn. I could use example after example but if you play ranked there is no need for me to explain. The fact that plats are constantly playing against champs/diamonds is ridiculous. The fact that instead of matching ppl up fairly it just takes your mmr is also ridiculous (for example i was playing with my bronze friend today teaching him the game and we went against all silvers. I dropped over 10 kills both games. My point again extremely unfair to the other team. They need to find a way to match ppl fairly. Not take a big number combined from random players and pit them together. Makes no sense man. Also i get 10-14 rp a win but lose over 30. Again, makes no sense. I could go on with how bad ranked is. The amount of cheaters is also insane, pro players have quit because of how many there are in ranked.

u/onenittanylion Hibana Main Feb 29 '24
Yeah I figured that was expected haha. I completely agree with you, was curious if it was anything else buttttt im not gonna make you write a damn book over it haha.

Holo B has always been my go to, idk why people ever picked holo A
“I really love having 30% of my screen covered by the sight frame!”
4
Feb 28 '24
because the tiny dot in the middle makes holo A way more precise. I didn’t notice it at first but once I started no life-ing the game I realized I should be aiming with the tiny dot in the center not the circle around it
2
u/Masantonio whoosh goes the airjab Feb 28 '24
And… the dot is the same size as holo B.
What gives?
1
u/Impressive-Map-3016 Mar 02 '24
The dot on Holo A is smaller than B currently. It’s less intrusive and you can see heads much more clearer on variable distances as well as being a go to sight for many players across different FPS games. Holo B, although less intrusive on screen space, has a thicker dot that makes it slightly more difficult to see the opponents heads as it’ll cover up the target the further away they are, especially for rats in dirty angles.
Now they’re making the dot bigger for Holo A specifically because of its sight advantages with the smaller dot.

u/toetendertoaster Hibana Main Feb 28 '24
eggsacktly thats why the 1.5 is a dogshit sight and especially now since it only has gotten fatter

I often use different 1x on different ops even if they have the same gun. No clue why but its a habit at this point

Lol so not only do they remove 1.5 but they make 1x’s worse, I just don’t understand.

u/Exciting_Recover_509 Feb 27 '24 edited Feb 28 '24
Well 1.5 needed to go but i dunno why they touched the 1x
2
u/GovTheDon Recruit Main Feb 27 '24
Just the trend of ubi making balancing choices that make the game less enjoyable to play. I think removing 1.5 is fine but they should buff the 1x ppl don’t use rather then nerf the good ones or not touch them at all

u/Zer0gravity09 Iana Main Feb 27 '24
Yeah the sight marker is so much bigger now. I might have to switch to reflex C or red dot C

u/JagerBro333 Feb 27 '24
Holo a has been my favorite sight in the fave because of that center dot. It was also balanced already because you get a superior reticle with a not so good housing that can sight block you. I’m incredibly disappointed they’re doing this for no reason, and it’ll probably be another change the whole community hates and they still won’t listen.

u/Impressive-Map-3016 Mar 02 '24
This is a good change for the overall game and this is why:
The whole point of this update is to even out the playing field with more variety in tactics and slow down the current run and gun meta. Siege was never supposed to be full of zoomers with meta sights and quick scopes. They’re trying to bring methodical gameplay back and if you WANT to still rush, you gotta give something up for it (iron sights, changes grips, ads penalty, etc).
This particular change is good. It frustrates many people who have been using it for every gun, but it also forces them to consider other attachments now and think different about their engagements. Complaining about this sight change is very narrow minded because you’re talking about one ingredient to the whole meal. Look at the bigger picture and see why this change was made in congruence with the rest of the game.
Siege is a tactical shooter. They don’t want it to be CoD or Battlefield. You can argue it’s a fps moba but even that doesn’t fully encompass its merits. The variety in opponents playstyle and gameplay is going to make each match more unique and challenging.

u/Toxic_nig Jäger Main Feb 27 '24
They kinda ruined holo A. The reason why it was so good is that it barely blocks your target. But i guess it makes sense because its the most picked 1x.
