I prefer the pace of hip firing for most short to mid range combat. Of course you need scopes for longer ranges, though. It depends on the accuracy difference between the two, though, and the slowdown associated with looking down the sights. If hipfire works just fine, and sights don't slow the game down to an annoying level, then I'll be happy enough. Basically, what I don't want is to have to hold down LT every time I'm shooting. That destroys the pacing of intense action and makes you focus on a small section of what is happening on-screen.
