The lines between crosshairs/realism

Recommended Posts

In quake style games it is easy to aim without a crosshair. Just put the enemy in the middle of the screen. But it is different with OFP. There that doesn't work. I use the "virtuel sight", but when i shoot i always press the "v"-key to zoom in. So i actually don't shoot using the "virtuel sight"  biggrin.gif

I have the crosshair turned on, but I rarely use it to fire. I always look through the ironsight.

But claiming that the use of crosshairs is unrealistic isn't 100% accurate. As someone mentioned earlier, you have no real perception of where your gun is aiming. I'm real life you have the most important sense of 'touch'. This linked with your hand-eye coodination gives you a sense of where you're aiming. So the crosshair compensates for this by giving you a focal point.

And in response to what someone else said... yes... you should aim properly before firing, but sometimes you don't have the opportunity.
