Sergio Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) The latest meta "quick peeking" is running more and more rampant and crippling an otherwise fun and engaging Cartel/Prison/Bank experience, would you like to see adaptive crosshairs locked in and the removal of static ones? Just my two cents, once you know how to use and exploit this "tactic" to your advantage, it really removes any challenge presented in the game. Edited April 26, 2016 by Sergio Link to comment

We have 4-5 spots to sit in when robbing a bank or doing a PB, and cops can be pretty much behind any sorts of cover ADS'ing I would say remove all together, but, once you've played long enough, cross hairs just help line up the shot better. I play KOTH (Code four gaming server) without crosshairs and im still quickpeeking in the towers. Edited April 26, 2016 by wr4thx Spencer, Sergio and Mike Stmria like this Link to comment

Being mad about people quick peeking in Arma is like being mad bout people quick scoping in CS. I will however agree though: Force adaptive crosshair. I can tell you it won't change anything except forcing plebs to learn to line up properly. Only noobs need the static crosshair to line up their shots. Link to comment
Sergio Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Bads will be bads. That said, really no challenge at the moment with this quick peeking less than a second because you're dialed in on your target with your static X-hair, which would normally be blocked and effected in dynamic X-hair by a wall.

What's going to stop people from taping a crosshair to their screen or making an autohotkey to display one externally? Link to comment

I'm just raising a legitimate problem IMHO with the game, and now that we're experimenting with difficulty settings I feel it's a good time to bring it up. With nearly 3k hours in arma, I've known about it forever...its just... getting old. Link to comment
Big Fred Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yes, the dynamic crosshair is more like a reminder that your barrel is occluded by an object. Something that would be painfully obvious in real life when the fucking gun get stuck in a hole in the wall. Since this is a Life Server after all, I say just remove the crosshairs all together. We don't need them. Your voice is your primary weapon anyways. . Sergio, SpooderGuy and Eric916 like this Link to comment

Sants Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hey I don't even play anymore but removing the crosshair is silly, I'd just draw one on like Roguepilot. Link to comment

Taping an IRL crosshair on your screen is the dumbest shit ever. It will be very inaccurate due to the fact your outer screen is nowhere near the actual pixels. Just try it and see for yourself. External AHK's and internal screen crosshairs will occlude your sights when you go into 1st person and become a nuisance imo. People will do it though, if we remove the crosshairs all together.

Infidel Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Currently, the hostile takeover king of the hill servers all have the crosshair removed with this latest update (idk if they plan on fixing/changing it). Definitely changes the game. Link to comment

DreamC Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Quick peeks will exist to some extent whether crosshairs exist or not. That being said without them CQC would be fucked. Everyone that needs to push an objective like a bank or building would be destroyed because they cant set up their shot fast enough. Unless your good or something, but fuck that skill shit, id just buy an mk200 Edited April 26, 2016 by DreamC Link to comment
