DayZ Standalone - crosshair

[jozef77 0]

Hello folks,

just watched the the latest DayZ Devblog video from 03/08/2013 and noticed the big white crosshair.

It doesn't seem to be dynamic like the old one, just plain and simple. I don't even know if it's the final version for the Standalone, but the old one looks way better for me.

What do you guys think?

regards

It probably isn't the finished crosshair. They probably just have it in there for testing or something.

It's like the Arma 3 crosshair at the minute, last I heard they were thinking about removing crosshairs completely though so I'm guessing it's subject to change.

I think the crosshair is just too static. It doesn't move, at all, if I remember correctly. And in that way it's too big. I will disable it the moment the option is available.

I like that it doesn't show you exactly where the bullet will go and you have to use your head a little. I would prefer if it was removed but I won't cry either way.

Wow. QQ more.

....oh wait....

I agree. I'd prefer it removed as well.

Exactly, the current one is also pretty good imo. Anyway, i really hope that they will not implement the one they showed in the video :thumbsup:

I welcome the total removal of the crosshair but the one in the devblog looked like a simple placeholder. I wouldn't worry about it.

Removing crosshairs would be great for reducing sniper rifles value.

Seeming as the only have long zoom scopes, and you'd need to ads to get a headshot on a zombie in close quarters, it'd be much harder.

That being said, they could just go for body shots :I

I don't think anyone wastes ammo for rare sniper rifles on zombies. xD

I think crosshair is for cod-kiddies...get rid of it...and 3rd person...or have seperate servers for kids and real men

Please remove the crosshair.

[p4triot 207]

get rid of it.

If u can aim with right-button then crosshair isnt needed, as it is in killing floor. Furthermore, after 13 years of counter strike I can headshot anything at close range w/o any sigh or crosshair at all. You know, "those who can, do. Those who can't, complain". CoD-kiddies should return to CoD, this is why cod exists, to keep them away from other games. GTFO!

i hope they remove the crosshairs completely.

this will add a certain sense of je ne sais quoi to the game (yes lol)

I don't like playing with crosshairs or 3rd person but I wish we could get rid of the notion that adhering to some specific playstyle or another makes you a real man^tm.

We like different things, that's because we are different. Preferring some variety of pc game over another does not make anyone a better person.

Let's discuss how DayZ can be improved, not who's being the most manly man. Please.

wow, this thread is thick with elitist douchebaggery, its as if they are all kindergarteners that doesent know any other games than cod. while i do agree that the later cod games suck it really annoys me that people attack the series in general when the first 2 games were awesome in their time, then again an 8yo wouldnt know that so i guess it cant be helped. and crosshairs have been present in pretty much every fps game ever made(lets not forget this includes arma 2, optional or not), i dont see why you would automatically lump people who like/dont mind them together with cod kids when soooooooooooooooo many other games have crosshair too, including the battlefield games wich are hybrids of arcade shooters and combat sims with the former being the dominant part.

me, i like crosshairs, ive played almost every fps worth mentioning from wolfenstien 3d and forward(and yes that includes cod1,2,mw1,bo1)and they all had crosshairs, its how fps games have always been for me. so when someone call you cod kid for liking them, i, and i suspect alot of other actual elites, really have to question if the person calling you a kid isnt a kid himself.

as far as third person goes i dont mind but it needs to be improved and freelook needs to be disabled in it so you cant look around corners and such.

Soooo, to recap the above...

"I PLAY COD, TYPE LIKE A CODKIDDY AND AM BY NO MEANS A CODKIDDY"

[person915 345]

It's just another file that takes up space on my hard-drive.

I don't feel bad about saying that because it doesn't look like it took tons of time to code it in or make the design, and hopefully the dev team didn't and they wouldn't care if they removed it whether their own choice or from community pressure.

We all kinda got the jist here, so let's not make this a discussion about CODKIDDIES (my god the word just sounds stupid) and keep the thread posts down until we can discuss it more when someone comes in and disagrees.

[The Shadow 119]

I think they should just completely remove the crosshair.

The thing is, DayZ is not going to be a First Person or a Third Person Shooter, but a survival simulator striving for authenticity, with zombies tacked on. Therefore, using the FPS-argument for crosshairs doesn't stand in this case.

I too, am against the crosshair, but I actually like the 3rd personn. I'm a MMO player and it probably induce my opinion, but I like seeing my char. And since I cannot feel what HE feels, I like beeing able to see graphically where he is wounded.

Also, DayZ SA will be more a MMO like than a FPS/TPS like, so stop comparing it with CoD or any shit like this, please.

The thing is, today dayz _IS_ a bigger-map-than-usual shooter, the only reason why a player dies (except for really fresh noobs) is because he has been shot by another player. How do you call such a game?

Hopefully the SA will improve the situation.
