Mental Crosshairs.

[Leif]

I've noticed from myself and many other regulars on this game, people seem to have developed mental crosshairs. They have no need to aim down their sights, yet can still put pin-point shots where ever they want. Its rather interesting. Has anyone else noticed the "MC" effect?

I've noticed it on plenty of games. Once you play enough, cross hairs mostly just help you out for lining up incredibly distant shots.

I call it "knowing where the center of my screen is".

 

[Leif]

Hehe, good point.

 

[Deafmute]

Yessir. Pretty much only use the sights for long-distance.

Yup, never accurate enough to take down things like Husks at mid-long range but i can at least hit them to stun em. Well normally...

*burns to death*

 

[Herborist]

I'm not really sure how to describe, but my shots have become far more accurate than they used to be. No cross hairs used to be a legitimate complaint for me, but now I don't mind it at all.

Lots of times I'll be playing with friends who started recently on medium or hard and I'll end up solo'ing the level - much to people's amazement I can headshot almost everything using the crossbow but without having to zoom in.

oh ya this is defiantly one of KF's better features, more games should catch on using the same thing

 

[anthracy]

I dunno, I may be able to run around without crosshairs pretty well but I always find myself using the iron sights on nearly 95% of my shots.

 

[Someone]

I'll go without iron-sights at close range or with shotguns/flamethrower/explosive weapons, but I still use iron-sights most of the time.

 

[YFGHNG]

I am ashamed to say that I still suck at hip-shooting, but that's because I play zerker most of the time. I'm best at ****ing up your face.

 

[Nenjin]

I'm fairly sure KF has some generous hit detection. I know I'm not that good, and plenty of other games have shown me that. Yet after a few hundred hours in KF, I can find the magic line without even trying. Just running around with a HC blasting stuff from the hip, I still pop heads without trying. I almost never use iron sights for the pump action shotgun, even when shooting way down range. The spread pattern is actually different between from the hip and with the iron sights, at least for the shotguns.

HINT: stick something small on the center of the screen and u got crosshair (if u really need one)

 

[Leif]

Wheres the fun in that SIMOX? Plus, thats kind of cheating.

Or punch your screen with something sharp, so there will be a constant bad pixel

This is exactly why they shouldn't use it more. Theres always some noob out there looking for any edge he can get to try and be better than everyone else.

 

[Sammers]

Yeah, I've developed them.

Seems somewhat familiar

Laaaame.

no, i don't need one. that's lame

 

[slavek]

I always play COD in hardcore mode, RO, KF, and other games so aiming without xhairs or using IS has become second nature.

 

[Temstar]

It's easy to defeat the "draw crosshair on monitor" thing, just implement RO's freeaim.
