No Custom Crosshairs - Big Problem/Dissapointed

[VladTheInhaler]

If nothing else, dip your pencil in tip-ex and put it at your screen. There...you STILL have your beloved dot.

Hhahah. I mentioned something about x-hairs to my dad in passing recently, I mentioned the dot and such. He told me to tape a dot to my monitor.

I can confirm now (for those that are still not 100% sure about this) you can NOT change the crosshairs of the weapons..

Just like i thought before i played the full game...the weapons come with standard HUGE crosshairs

That seems to be EPic's attitude about a lot of things: "Yeah, cut this cool junk out, don't bother. If they like it so much, the community will make it. Just let them do the work so we don't have to."

Odd, but I have to agree with this. And the fact that they had all of this stuff in every single UT up to this one is pretty strange.

I remember having to hack inis in 2k3 to get custom crosshairs. What a pain in the ***! If this is the solution, I'm going to be pretty irritated. Crosshairs are aiming guides, useful tools made to assist you hitting a target. Each weapon works a little differently, so it isn't as if any only crosshair will do for any given weapon.

Plus, each weapon is off-center in some distinctive way, and a modifiable crosshair can account for that, too.

Well, the only explanation I can think of is money. They make a lot of money on simple gameplay GoW, and try to do the same with UT3. Besides, its cheaper to not make it.

Not a "Problem"

This is a gripe, not a major problem. We all know there a much more glaring issues of eyeheight, shooting over cover while behind cover, fps mouse glitching, and others. This issue kind of ties in to the UI issue, but in itself not a major problem. I would think this would be a patch worthy issue. Let's hope Epic doesn't forget about how cool their UI's have been in the past. These elements are the cement that keeps people glued to this series.

We gotta wait for a patch - theres no ini lines for what crosshair for each weapon.

speechless.

What is really funny, is a few months ago, everyone was saying how things needed to be on in the Menu system and have locked .ini's. The vast majority of people on this forum where against any .ini customization.....

Now look at ya all . Don't be cheatin.! lolol

Being able to customize a crosshair in color/shape/size for each gun really made you feel like you were in control, it was more unique, it gave you an Edge. Will we be able to atleast shrink the size of the over bloated default crosshairs that we have? The crosshair for the rocketlauncher right now is laughable, its more of a distraction than an aiming tool.

Using a small circle with a dot in the middle for the shock rifle and sniper was a must. I really hope a mod makes crosshairs FAST, If he charged 10 bucks for them I'd pay for it.

Its the same thing with insta..
But as it is right now....no you wont be able to even do that
And it wont change until epic/someone releases a patch/mut for the game.

dang....

RIght now it seems alot of UT3's problems stem from the UI, since we KNOW thats changable, they just need to add that option for us to do so...

Here's hoping there is a whole new UI in the works.

Not even a "simple crosshair" option now? And you mean no colour option too?

[edit] nvm saw the simple crosshair option. Colour is still tho' right? Right? I'll at least have my green or pink Cross.

They brought the PS3 port of UT3 to the PC. Its up to the Mods to unconsolize it
