Center Cross-Hair Key

[UltimateGaMeR45]

I'm an oldskool Unreal Championship xbox player and what really gave me my edge was the Center CrossHair key. When clicking the right thumbstick, your crosshair would automatically be sent to the center of the screen. Is there any feature in Unreal Tournament 3 that enables you to do so?

Uhm isn't your crosshair at the center of your screen at all times? O_o

Alright smartass, it centers to the center of the screen.

I know what OP is talking about

But this thread is full of lulz.

Yeah we need more buttons that do things for you rather than making us actually play the game! I need a 180 degree turn button, center screen button, aim and fire button, switch thru weapon combo button, and a button that automatically walks me to the enemy base.

There actually IS a 180 degree turn command in UT3.

Ok, just to be fair to the OP, it's automatically centering the view so that it's parallel to the ground. It's just called centering crosshairs. I know that UT2004 had this feature, and UT3 seems to not have it.... but there's alot of features that Ut2004 had that UT3 doesn't. Will they be added in the next patch? dunno.

*eh* guys ... he's talking about the console-version.
They need that center-button as it makes it possible to play the game with a gamepad ...

Besides ... the 360-version hasn't been released, so I wouldn't know if that feature is in there.

I'm sorry but I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
I'm a PC user myself and I have little to no experience on consoles, so I'm sorry but this all sounds rather weird to me!

Would you care to explain the exact mechanics of this 'screen centering'?

[Slippster]

its like when you let go of the joystick, and youre looking DOWN,
it will aim the camera back up to eye level.

but it can messs things up if you aim and want to retain that aim,
without the auto center screwing it up.
like on a sniper scope camp.
you dont want it auto centering while your aiming


I think thats what he means.
its usually a console feature.

it depends on your controller setup.
if the joys are spring loaded or not.

[kaluro]

Ah, so it resets back to the 'standard' eyeheight-looking-straight-forward view, the view you have when you just (re)spawned and didn't alter your aim yet?

Correct. And yes, I did play it on a console and am using a 360 controller on the PC. So is there any way?

they really should have a dedicated PS3 forum

its called centerview and it is present in ut2004.

I'm not talking about the PS3 or else I would have specified such.

I know it is available in UT2004, hence why I brought it up. The best I can do now is hope for the feauture to be on the 360 when it is released. If not, I dont think I will buy it.
