New crosshairs

[JJonth Cheeky Monkey 1]

I have noticed quite a few new weapon addons are using new crosshairs, i dont mean the optics view, but different versions of the little white crosshair you get when not looking through the sights. Examples of this are the OICW in the HK pack which uses a cross inside of a circle, also the G36 in the HK pack which is a red dot inside a circle. What I want to know is Does anyone like these because im not so keen. It took me long enough to get used to the standard pistol type thingy. And some of the new ones seem to get in the way.

What is your opinion on these?

I say disable the whole crosshair thing

would be realistic to have no crosshairs in veteran mode

I did have them disabled for a while because of the crosshairs in the HK pack, but know iv'e gotten rid of it and use them again, they are quite useful for when you are using weapons in close quarters.

well, there are limitations in the whole game-realism problem, we arent holding real guns, we arent even the person in the game so we can look around and 'feel' where the gun is pointing, we cant easily put our eyes to the iron sights, so i think cross hairs are needed as there is no way a game can be completely real

its not like ppl use croshairs for shootin other than 50m or less, so best to leave em on gives me idea of where im lookin.

I find it hard to aim the grenade launchers without them

damn you accually use the grenade launcher sites?? i just use the force to guide my shots. with a law or RPG i always use the little dot method, i find it much better than the scopes

Crosshairs are really helpfull when playing the game!

how the hell do you use the gren launcher sights?

[Frugo_PL 0]

Use the force! Or just simply use the middle line. The choice is yours

I wish BIS would add the real M203/GP-8 sights like some unofficial addons with grenade launchers. I've been practicing with those and consecutively hit people at about 200m. If I use the crosshairs, I can't hit worth S*%@.

I'm wondering why someone should use the crosshair at all?

I mean OFP has the optics view, and the rest is Sh*t, because the weapons never fire to the spot where the crosshair is...

When I'm running around in OFP and wanna shoot someone, I switch to optics view and give em a nicely aimed headshot

Much better than firing without proper aiming, and you can#t do proper aiming with the "normal" crosshair.

bye,

I can hit stuff with it, even headshots, its just its taken ma about a year to get fully used to it and then all these new weapons have got their own custom crosshairs, which will probably take another year to get used to, why cant they leave them alone or make different versions one with the default crosshair the other with the fancy take up half the screen jobby. And i do wish the grenade launchers had proper iron sights. They had them in the demo so why not in the full game?

i think that crosshair is supposed to simulate the humans ability to tell where he is aiming his weapon without looking through the optics. I always use optics when shooting cept for in close combat!

and since in mulit-player i always arm my self with a M21 optics would be an even worse idea!

lol, i'm so back to front, i'm good in close combat with an M21, and can kill somthing with a law from 2km away! (2000m)!

In CQC situations I prefer crosshair always over the iron sights. No point trying to "aim" your gun with the sights when enemy is just few meters from you.

I vote no crosshairs at all more realistic. And for anything long range u can be quick to your optics key anyway. I prefer a server wit no crosshairs also bc it helps weed out the n00bs the frek out and leave thinkin its a bug. Like when they play witout silly 3rd person the first time.

God i hate 3rd person! Unless im drivin or flyin!

When you press optics, it magnifies it, now real iron sights don't do that at all. So thats not realistic either. Im not talking about the guns with telescopic sights either. I like the cross hairs.

Spot on. That's why the crosshair is a bit off compared to the iron sight. However, it's a shame the crosshair offset is fixed, I'd like to see some randomness so it wouldn't be that easy to do headshots by memorizing the correct aiming point.

I surely can do a snapshot with a real rifle more accurately than in OFP without the crosshair. That's why I keep the crosshair on.

I like the crosshairs. I think it would make closequarter combat impossible without them. And there are many new closequarters maps being made.

[Hit_Sqd_Maximus 0]

is there a way to dissable the crosshairs in a map and not through the server?
