Peoples Complaints for no "Iron-sights"

[May Kitsune]

I have come to many threads seeing hates about l4d2, various games, with complaints about no Iron-Sights, I wouldn't mind complaints if they gave some sort of reason, I wouldn't mind it even if I disagree but at least they would give evidence. Peoples arguments include:
* Placing the butt of the gun to your nose is how you aim in real life
*FPS's always had Iron Sights
*Any video game that doesn't have iron-sights is old
*Just because I don't like this feature not in a game I will post hate threads about it
*Iron-Sights in games make the best games
*It makes the game more realistic, closer to CoD and BF

Ok Here is my rant:
*You don't aim a gun in real life like that
*The first shooter with iron-sights was released in 1999 (Medal of Honor) while the genre
has been around since the 1970s (Maze War)
*Games before 1999 did not have iron-sights and even after FPS games have been released
without as early as this year (Metro Conflict which includes some, if you want none at all because youre that iggnorant CS:O2 set to release late 2015)
*This is just your own stupidty if you had valid points people wouldn't shoot you down and no one would mind it at all
*Minecraft was released in 2009 (It's first person shooter so get over it) sold 66 million copies to this day whilst the best selling CoD game has only sold 27.5 Million) [For those who are going to ♥♥♥♥♥ about little kids play mincraft and their parents pay for it, you are not fooling anyone we all know you suckured your grandma into getting you the next CoD for christmas)
*Okay if you have a problem with games seeming different from what your use to (and straight up saying CoD, and BF is realistic, try playing ArmA that will teach you) but come on video games are supposed to be different then each other its alright to not be used to a set up, but thats half the fun in video games is learning something new!

Now all I have to say, if you don't like games without iron sights that is alright, if it bugs you its alright, and if you want to rant about why you hate them, please give some evidence, it must feel embarsing getting shot down. I'm a person who plays any kind of FPS, I play CoD and BF as well, I play games without iron-sights as well. If you want to call yourself a gamer you have to make yourself well rounded and be okay with anything, thats how game testers get their jobs (okay early access doesnt count sorry guys) I'm talking maybe working with sony to test the new killzone, then the next day your set to test the new barbie game for the playstion move, its all about experience, and enjoying the games!

Now that was a long rant but uh go ahead and tell me what you think.

I shoot rifles in real life. I prefer to have a sight picture. Irons provide a solid, focused sight picture, and I've discovered that I have problems at times with the crosshair being in the way of my target. A crosshair is a rather unnatural method of aiming, but I'm too awful at finding the center of my screen to turn mine off. I prefer irons because they help me with immersion, even though this game is rife with failures of such.I know Valve doesn't do irons, but Valve doesn't understand firearms, nor how to animate them.

Mostly told, if Valve gets good animators, it would be rather negligible to add aesthetic iron sights in later installations. Hell, I'd settle for more than one scope sprite so we could add a literal "sight picture" without messing with the scope on the sniper rifles.

I think in my opinion iron sights for Left 4 Dead 2 would be in bad taste. This FPS is so fast paced that it would be inconvenient just to stop and toggle the iron sights.
