Pretty sure there won't be (except one gun) ;)

Tripwire's other game, Red Orchestra, only had Iron Sights as well. Makes it more realistic and adds to the intense experience.

No crosshairs is a good thing.. it forces you to be more careful with your shots.. and if the option is available, be forced to use ironsights!

While KF is not ment to be as harcore/realistic as RO, still no crosshairs. We don't like em if we don't think they fit.

Nobody ever considers that crosshairs could be optional? This way you're not butt****ing your fanbase that uses them.

I personally don't mind, because I love iron sights.

Speaking of that, I can't find anywhere to bind them, no mention of them. Am I just blind? Oh I forgot I'm referring to the mod version.

If there's one thing this forum needs, is split forums between mod/retail.

zombies aren't hard to hit you don't need crosshairs. What you do get is guranteed accuracy, like you don't need to crouch/prone for your bullet to go closer to the mark. So with that system, if you had crosshairs, you would never bother to use ironsights would you? As it is I use iron sights for all medium distances. Shooting from the hip is good enough for close encounters, I don't seem to have any problem getting headshots any more.

Crosshairs are becomming old fashioned, in CoD4 hardcore mode, where the good players are at, there are no crosshairs.

I had hardly ever played a game that doesn't use crosshairs before I started playing KF regularly. At first it was a little weird but I got used to it in 10 minutes tops. Now I think crosshairs look awkward and out of place, plus iron sights are just awesome.

If people consider having to use iron sights being "butt****ed" as you so eloquently put it, then well...they need to get over themselves a bit.

the lack of crosshairs in KF was originally an error that was never fixed, so to say it has anything to do with TWI, RO, or realism is far from the truth.

The decision not to fix it was a decision for mod. I would take a guess they discussed it for retail.

Oh noes! No crosshair! This game is actually challenging?! Developers should never challenge their fan base and should do exactly as the masses dictate because the masses obviously have lots of experience making games.

But seriously, the guns shoot in the middle of the screen. It took me all of two seconds to get used to it. I can shotgun snipe from the hip now.

As Akame stated, the hip-firing works exactly as Gears and Gears 2 work. Learn the center of your playing field, and your bullets will hit that mark. I've noticed seeing the tracers fly off to the left and right flanks, but always seemed to hit the target where I was aiming. Don't let the ZED time bullets throw you off, as they are usually inaccurate.
