Crosshairs

An Amateur · 04-23-2008, 06:54 PM

I've been wondering for a while now what effect different crosshairs have on the way you play. I've been thinking of using or making a custom crosshair and wondered what peoples thoughts are on what crosshairs help your game.

I use the default 4 or 2 for a change. I find that 2 (actual crosshair) is pretty good for accuracy with weapons like rifles. I think 4 (circle) is more accomodating to SMG's or Shotties since they spray outward more. I haven't really tested this, its just my impression from using them.

A lot of people seem to think that a simple dot is best, why is this?

I usually shoot when the person is anywhere near the large circle. I use a dot because I seem to lead better with it.

what kind of weapons do you normally use? Or doesn't it matter? I'm thinking maybe a dot is better for guiding your aim rather than any kind of other benefit (especially with shotties).

I usually use shottys. Though it is true I can aim spread with the large circle crosshair, I always seem to shoot whenever something is in my circle. With the dot, I can concentrate a bit more on leading.

dot helps me for precise aiming

dot = reflex aiming
Xhair2 = aiming

the fact is, a single dot (in my case colored red) is easily spotted while moving fast.
u turn a hard left and BAM ur dot instantly fly's over the enemy. for me the dot makes reflex aiming easier.
Xhair's that have a hole in it (like 2) i use when i wanna have an allround aim, im not using it for uber fast setups, but its rly accurate to aim wiht on long distances

Crosshairs are used to help you aim. People think dots are good because when you use a dot you basically have no crosshair and therefore have to focus more on where your crosshair is actually placed on the screen if you want to hit well. So dots are helpful in a way but if you have good aim there is no reason to encumber yourself by using a dot.

I don't use any crosshair at all. I know where the middle of the screen is.

The dot helps but only slightly. Leadshooting in Gunz has too much luck involved
Dont use a big crosshair all i can say
