Should the dot crosshair be removed from hardcore servers?

[MagneticToast 102]

Only if it is removed from both.

I do not want any differences between the two except 3PP. I don't want to have to play a gimped mode because I think 3PP is cheap and garbage.

I love it when people try to use the dot for hipfire aiming and I carefully line up my FNX. Pop pop, I now have your loot.

[Ineedscoffee 464]

Oh god yes, remove it. Let's ramp up this ridiculous hardcore vs reg to the extreme, and observe the vocal minority get even louder.

Frankly I don't care, I play both.

[Rudette 435]

Yes.

the dot doesn't represent where your gun is aiming, it is merely the center of your screen and helps delineate which object you will interact with on action.

 

That doesn't make any sense, as your gun should also be aiming at the center of the screen...

[Zoridium JackL 16]

ok, I get why it's silly for firing a gun and why you'd want it removed in that situation, in which case I'm fine for it being removed while a weapon is raised, but it isn't there for weapon aiming.

 

how many times in real life have you reached for something you want to pick up only to have your hand brush up against it and miss because you weren't staring exactly at the center of the object and in fact were looking slightly to the left of it? the dot is there to compensate for the fact that the computer can't accurately simulate hand eye coordination, it's literally the most rudimentary and non-intrusive way the computer has of communicating with you. in real life our hand goes where-ever we will it to go, but in the game the hand can only go to one point, the computer needs a way of communicating that point to us or it does a very poor job of simulating interaction with the environment.

 

unless you want this to be a sim of the most un-coordinated guy on the face of the earth I suggest even in hardcore the dot remain a thing.

Sure remove it. I'm using it to kill people way too much.
