MTV Multiplayer attended the press junket for New Vegas, and now discusses the improvements to combat from Fallout 3.<blockquote>The most prominent fix during our hands-off demo was the ability to bring up a weapon's iron sights.

Personally, I really liked the brief slow-mo because it was a bit of a visual cue to start slinging bullets at the next enemy.</blockquote>
