What's the deal with the crosshairs?

riesep · 07-03-2001, 08:16 AM

When I looked at the movie on gamespot, I couldn't see the crosshairs. Of course the movie's resolution was not my entire computer screen but I looked distinctively for it. I did see however the crosshair for the sniper rifle, which covered the whole screen. I finally was able to see the movie after downloading all 28mb of it. I will have to say it was worth it. I did see a cross hair in a screenshot but it was very small and white. White's not a problem but what if we are aiming against something with a white background. Will the crosshair turn black? 2015 as being one of the few who have played the game is this a problem or not.

I say, lets have no crosshairs at all and just aim with the gun.

I agree, and it should be optional, don't want to force people to use the gun to aim. Of course, this is only if we can bring the gun up and look down the sights to aim, other wise it would be impossible to hit anything.

In the movie it looked like there were no crosshairs but you could not look down the barrel to aim. They were hitting their targets but I don't know how.

ok check this picture out. (If the link doesnt work, im talking about the screenshot of the explosion of the barbwired fences near the bunkers on the Omaha level) Why is the gun pointed somewhat down and to the left while the crosshair is in the air no where near where the garand is pointing? Throwing a grenade maybe?

If you take out the "IMG" part at the end of BD post you can see a screen that shows a little white cross in the middle of the screen, so it's save to say there will be one.

Edit: now that BD has fixed his post you can see the picture...

What IMG part? I'm confused can someone put in a link that will truly lead me to the screenshot.

i think it has to do , when your running , the rifle is shifted to the side and down and the crosshairs stay fixed and then when you stop and stand still or walk the gun comes to the center . the crosshairs as your running represent your center view .

you can really tell how it works from the ingame footage

Yeah I noticed that in the movie.

Polaris · 07-03-2001, 08:55 AM

except that in the movie the crosshairs seemed to be turned off or its just that we cant see them because of the low quality

BlueDevil · 07-03-2001, 08:56 AM

oh yeah you are probably right Polaris. I am just use to the crosshair change in the Operation Flashpoint demo. When you switch the weapon you are using to a grenade, you still see the rifle you are holding but the crosshair appears higher and no where near the sites of the gun. Thanks guys for the help.

When I tried downloading the movie or trailer from the official website (twice) it didn't work. I noticed that it was smaller in size (mb). Has anyone downloaded it and get it to work. When I try to view it, I think it says something like-error not a Win 32 application. Does anyone know what this is all about?
