Static Crosshairs for Call of Duty

[ashe]

Our clan hated the dynamic crosshairs that came with COD, so I modded them. I put the crosshairs from Mohaa on COD and took out the dynamic function. I would like to hear comments from everyone on their feelings on this. You can download and try them from http://www.dmgclan.com

I feel it will be like running with iron sites up at all times,a small focal point to aim from,may as well tape a small dot to center of monitor screen.
I love playing MoH and use a dot in that game,love it,but I purchased CoD for a lil more realistic feel and enjoy playing with no crosshair at all.

MY Clan have just discussed your Mod and we have basically identified it as a mod that we not allow on our server as it will give you an advantage over all the other players :!:

This falls on a fine line right now, we're all still new to CoD, and so everyone has ideas about how to improve the game. Naturally we are also trying to come to an agreement to what is acceptable and what is a "soft" cheat. In most games we have always allowed for optional reticles. This imho would be considered that. I guess we should just leave it to "open discussion" at this point and see what the Admins of other servers have to say about it.

Depending on what ladder you are in will depend if its allowed or not. If you play at Clan Base then it wont be allowed. My guess is just play the game how it was created, thats how I play games and I think its fair for all. I do agree that the Dynamic cross hair is a little large, but it makes it harder to kill and more interesting.

What people seem to want in life is too be able to kill one another real easy and be out on top all the time but this crosshair makes it that little bit more difficult to win.

Keep it as it is unless IW create a patch that makes it smaller but keeps the dynamic feel.

I agree completely with Churchy (did you stop by AAN last night? I played a guy named Church last night and I can't see that as being a super-common name... just curious). I also agree with SD a little: leave it as an open discussion... that is to say, this and all mods are going to be ultimately decided as appropriate to the game or not by the admins of the servers.

But from my point of view, if you wanted crosshairs that were static and thus never feel the complete effects of moving penalties to aim, then play more Medal of Honor. The idea in this game is make the player realise that it's just not realistic to know exactly where your bullet's going to land while you're running and hopping down a road... and more importantly reward the guy who takes his time, lies prone and supports his weapon.

Just my $.02.

SHAME ! SHAME ON YOU ! SHAME ON ALL WHO HAVE YOUR CROSSHAIRS ON ! A GAME THAT HAS IRON SIGHTS FINALY AND YOU USE CROSSHAIRS ! SO MUCH CLOSER TO REALISM YET SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAR AWAY BECAUSE OF ALL THE MONKEY BOYS sok i fixed that with my mod good luck hitting any thing further away than 10 feet with a full clip out of a mg with my mod my advice get rid of the crosshairs use the ironsights its about 10000 times funner and more realistic that way oh and did i mention more realistic course i cant blame you realy cause the way the mp shipped is a quake 3 joke heh start downloading the realism mods stop using crosshairs AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY IN MOD WORLD SET SV_PURE TO FLIPPITY 0

Naturally the server has to have sv_pure off to run a mod.....I hope the modders are adding that to the Read Me files. There are alot of first time Admins/server owners out there who may not realise that.

As for realism and distances in which an mg can hit a target.....its well beyond 10 feet. Naturally if you are just holding down the trigger your rounds will continue to stray further appart. But controlled bursts are effective above 50 meters.

Reticles on or off...well when the CS Monkeys (Counter Strike), or also known affectionately as Bunny Hoppers, are toned down I'll stop using any sort of aiming device from the hip. But thats just me. I'm perfectly fine with them off as long as I know the rest of the server has them off too.

granted i shoot my rifles quite well from the hip but most people couldnt and i had to add a reason for people to use the iron sights
ya know i cant let them go to waist
