Two common classes of sights include open sights, which use a notch at the rear, and aperture sights, where the user looks through a ring or opening in a rear panel. Leaf sights are another type that feature graduated markings along a folding panel at the rear to assist with long-range targeting.

  • Two common classes of sights include open sights, which use a notch at the rear, and aperture sights, where the user looks through a ring or opening in a rear panel. Leaf sights are another type that feature graduated markings along a folding panel at the rear to assist with long-range targeting.
  • Iron Sights are a system of shaped alignment markers used to assist the user in aiming, and are included on all portable guns in the Call of Duty series, although there are exceptions to this rule.
  • The Iron Sight is the standard sight for most weapons. It is characterize by a single bead, usually glowing green, on the front of the weapon, surrounded by two other beads closer to the back. The center bead is used to aim, while the other two, used to keep the center one level. The appearance of these beads vary between weapons. Some CELL weapons, such as the Hammer, replace the green color of the beads with blue. This change is just cosmetic.
  • When using closed iron sights, the tip of the front sight post is centered in the rear sight aperture. In some weapons, the rear sight is adjusted for windage (left/right adjustment) and range (up/down adjustment - not all weapons have this functionality, however); the front sight is usually adjustable for elevation (up/down adjustment). In other weapons, the sight system is a bit different. The rear sight is used only for range, and the front sight is used for windage and elevation.
  • Iron sights are a feature in all Medal of Honor series games post-Pacific Assault. It allows for much greater accuracy at range, as a player can easily pinpoint an enemy. Most iron sights have greater zoom when compared to hipfiring. Prior to Medal of Honor (2010), the player is only able to use the Leaning feature while aiming down the sights. As with real life, sights that use posts and notches should have the target resting on top of them, not in front of them.

  • Iron sights are a feature in all Medal of Honor series games post-Pacific Assault. It allows for much greater accuracy at range, as a player can easily pinpoint an enemy. Most iron sights have greater zoom when compared to hipfiring. Prior to Medal of Honor (2010), the player is only able to use the Leaning feature while aiming down the sights. As with real life, sights that use posts and notches should have the target resting on top of them, not in front of them. Pre-Pacific Assault, iron sights were unusable, although most weapons sights were visible. Instead, a slight zoom increase was provided when the 'aim' button was pressed, in addition to enabling leaning. Scopes were, however, usable. Medal of Honor (2010) and Medal of Honor: Warfighter allow the player to attach various optics to their weapons, allowing for increased zoom and accuracy when aiming. In Medal of Honor, leaning and aiming are independant of each other by default. The opposite is true in Warfighter.
  • The Iron Sight is the standard sight for most weapons. It is characterize by a single bead, usually glowing green, on the front of the weapon, surrounded by two other beads closer to the back. The center bead is used to aim, while the other two, used to keep the center one level. The appearance of these beads vary between weapons. Some CELL weapons, such as the Hammer, replace the green color of the beads with blue. This change is just cosmetic. Both parts of the sight, the front center bead and the back side beads, are removed from the weapon when another sight attachment is used. This includes the Laser Sight, even though it is attached right beneath the barrel.

On some rifles equipped with optics, there are iron sights attached that may be used in the event of a scope malfunction, or if the level of magnification that the scope provides is considered unnecessary (in close quarters, for instance). These are known as BUIS (back up iron sights).
