Hey guys, I've heard some good things about INS so i decided to check it out, and it's pretty fun so far, but I have a few question:
With the rifleman class, is it better to use iron-sights or shoot from hip?

Any other tips would be appreciated as well :p
 
Ironsights are preferrable. However, some hip shooting skills come in handy sometimes, just because you won't have enough time to bring up your sights.
Spray'n'pray isn't the most efficient thing you can do, but it definatly can save you!

If you find the time you should visit bootcamp and/or weapons classes. rtdriver and jonpaso can teach you everything you need to know.
 
Some weapons (m4 med for instance, and a properly used ak74) lend themselves well to hipfiring if need be- though you never want to do this unless its either last resort, or you're using it with another trick when moving from place to place at short range which I'll leave to you to find.

Always, always, always, always iron sight, short of having absolutely no time to react; you'll nearly always win against people of equal or lower skills if you iron sight and they don't.

And my personal favorite- rush. Rush, Rush, Rush, if you aren't rushing you're doing it wrong. See that smoke nade that just got tossed by charlie? Rush the smoke; chances are you'll catch someone with their pants down as they either still have nades equipped or are trying to swap back to their main. See that nade in front of you? Rush past it- nades are used as an area deterrent or for indirect fire- either way, they won't expect you on their side of the nade until after it blows up. In summary, rush. It surprises most and solves nearly every problem.
 
Welcome to INS!
Hip fire takes skill but since your from DOD I think you will pick up on the hip fire quicker!
Use a mic and try to communicate with others on your team as best as possible and learn the maps. The Dust 2 server is the best one to jump in and learn the shooting aspect of the game. But firefight and fun server will give you the real Ins experience. Hope to kill you soon buddy!

Using your iron sights in INS is vital. However, over time as you play more you'll find out which weapons are best suited for hip fire scenarios.
 
Iron sights.
Best INS strategy (on ins_ maps)
RUN
COVER
SHOOT
RUN SOME MORE
DO THAT ^ AGAIN
DIE
REPEAT
 
This might not fit your play style but I use "mouse wheel up" for my iron sites and "mouse2" to duck.
It increase your reaction slightly.

I dont recommend the bad habit of hip shooting, i know im gonna get alot of flak for saying that but i really dont mind. I suggest going into options and setting your iron sights to alternate. It is ALWAYS a good idea to use your iron sights.
