Spy17 1 Posted May 5, 2004 Would you consider advanced settings and crosshairs off this time? Would make me happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gollum1 0 Posted May 5, 2004 Would you consider advanced settings and crosshairs off this time?Would make me happy What do you mean with advanced settings? btw I will try to be there tonight, too. edit: PIX, those black bars are staying out. From the left, Lobanak, Lauma and Hellfish6 are posing in front of a captured Russian Mi-24 helicopter at the Rissala airforce base. Spetznaz77 out of shot, playing around somewhere. Attacking a Russian chemical factory, the wacky ghost of mister Molotov is paying his countrymen a visit. Oh, Molotov, will you ever learn! At the same factory, Spetznaz77 is taking care of business with the TaK 2000. Not good enough for CP, so I thought I'd post them here since they're more relevant.

llauma 0 Posted May 5, 2004 Would you consider advanced settings and crosshairs off this time?Would make me happy I wouldn't mind crosshair off, it's just a matter off getting used to it, but as there are so many new players who I don't know and they don't know each other it's hard to get something organized if I can't keep track off them. But honestly I don't think crosshair is that unrealistic. Sure I can use it to kill enemies at close range but I wouldn't look through the sight IRL. If it's too far away I will use the sight as I would IRL. It's much easier to know where you aim IRL than in OFP if you had no crosshair. Also crosshair off causes problems with grenades etc. It's already hard enough to know how far it will fly as you can't feel the weight. I will check what the current settings are and see what could be changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 1 Posted May 5, 2004 The Pub is open IP - 141.157.249.172 Port - 2302 I got the day off and nothing better to do, so come on in. You need BAS & Tonal. I44 & Normandie is not needed but is a plus if you have it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spy17 1 Posted May 5, 2004 I got used to play without crosshairs. I just do not like this head up display feeling of the crosshairs. Screen looks much cleaner without. For the advanced settings I think it is a nice touch of OFP that you have to be aware where your team mates are to avoid friendly fire. In easy settings you can just look at the map which feels kind of like cheating. The last times I played on the CIA server I was so impressed with the teamwork (especially using teamspeak) that I think this kind of aid is not necessary. Just a suggestion!

hellfish6 7 Posted May 5, 2004 I too was impressed by the CiA server when I played there just a couple of days ago. I also had a lot of fun with the USMC-Warriors in co-op. When you get a bunch of guys who want to do more than just fuck around, OFP becomes an unbeatable gaming experience. Oh, and I'd vote for removing crosshairs, at least in adversarial play. In coop I don't know that it makes that much difference, but I feel that if you're going to shoot somebody in adversarial, you should actually have the courtesy to use the sights. I think it's more realistic that way too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 1 Posted May 5, 2004 I couldnt hit the broadsides of a battleship with those crosshairs. I always use the iron sights view to shoot. The crosshairs are only helpful to me when im driving any vehicle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingN 251 Posted May 5, 2004 Talking about server difficulty settings, from now on please put the player TAGs on (the boxes showing player names ingame) like we did last sunday on the CiA server, playing is so much more fun when you know who is who, especially on a forum server.... please.

hellfish6 7 Posted May 5, 2004 That's a good point... I like to know who is on my flanks. Or, more seriously, to make sure that some specific people *cough* are NOT on my flanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balschoiw 0 Posted May 5, 2004 Quote[/b] ]from now on please put the player TAGs on As far as I know they are on in cadet mode on server. I´d like to have a testrun with crosshir off also. I tested it yesterday in singleplayer and it was fun. Llauma has a point with the nades though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted May 5, 2004 I used to play on Suchey's server which had hardcore realism and I learned to like playing without crosshairs. It's a more enjoyable, skillfull game. One thing I don't like though, is driving vehicles without 3rd person view. I can't fly a helicopter when I'm just in the cockpit - apparently I have no depth perception or something and slam hard into the ground when I try to land. And forget it if you want me to land in a tight spot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raedor 8 Posted May 5, 2004 i played on such a hardcore server some weeks ago, too. at first it was very hard, but later it feels much more real. on our internal mapfact server we play most times in cadet mode. but with ts and we plan our actions a bit more than on CIA. we do it there as we would do it in reality. but it's cool to play on CIA's server. i'll be there today.
