Well what the hell eh? Many like the new crosshair. i personally don't, because i just find it hard to c a target with those big vertical lines (but i'm sure i'll adjust it's just bland also, i mean the 2.0 crosshair was totally original, this is the same crosshair in every other game bleh). i'm sure i could adjust and blah blah blah blah i just wanted to c if i could make an alternative which i think is an improvement while not changing things too much.
The way they have the crosshair setup now is absolutely f'd so untill i take the time to "crack the code" i am VERY limited as far as what i can do. Basically i thickened up the center dot a bit, muted the guide lines and switched them to a yellowish type thingy with dot guides. Again, i think that when an entire crosshair is one color it makes it a bit more difficult to locate the center in a pinch. Try it out and based on the feed back (positive OR negative) maybe i'll try and figure out how they have this shiz setup a bit more.
Curently it works well but different weapons have the guide-lines set at different distances from the center (again i'll try and figure this out later) so in the picture u can c the crosshair for the MP40 and in the corner the same crosshair while running AND the way the same crosshair will look w/ the KAR. gl hf

It's new, give it time and you'll grow to hate it, as everyone hated the 2.0 crosshairs.

I agree 100%. They're too annoying...I just wanna rip the legs off and use the dot...but that dot is too small so...

I like yours. Good colors and the legs are far enough from the dot.

NJ. :)

P.S.: I saved your crosshair thread from the old forums. I like reading it from time to time. :p

Looks good..I'll check it out.

You sir, are awesome. I don't like the default one, it's BRIGHT NEON red and HUGE, and distracts you. Especially if you're trying to hit at distance.

Know what would rock? A semi-transpaerent crosshair. If anyone has the knowhow-- that would be cool to do.

I really like it in game! Is it possible to make the 4 outside dots red as well? I think that may make it stand out just slightly more.

Also, is it possible to have seperate ones for Allies and Axis. Red for Axis & Green for Allies? I know you could do this in 3.1. Just a thought!

Would you mind if I do a request thread for this icu?

Any chance you can do it either in a blue or a lime green?

I like your crosshair, but I can't stand red crosshairs.

Yellow/orange is kind of an ugly color. Especialy when everything else in the game is metal/green/red

Strafe

Yeah. This is a good one. I wish there was some way (like in 3.1) where you could have a red one for Axis and a Green for allies. Anyone know if thats possible?

Nice crosshair, so does this one move as well?

I actually liked the 2.0 crosshair because I was a garand user and it didn't really matter seeing a pinpoint because the bullets never landed that close to center anyway.

Just keep 'em covered and you'll get your kill. Still waiting on someone to make the 3.1/2.0 crosshair for v1.0

Haha I love how you put the kar's crosshairs in the preview picture. As if anyone really had to guess how far the leaves would be floating off of the dot which, in itself, undoubtedly spells certain doom for the American soldier weilding his 'trusty' Garand into battle.

Good X-HaiRs.

Don't really want to bump this or anything especially cuz i'm sure other people have some better options. i havn't really spent as much time with my 1.0 x-hairs as i did with my 3.1 set (because, well there is only so much u CAN do - really wish i could use my old ones), but heck if u like em' please use em'. i have a couple color-blind friends who wanted blu crosshairs so i made em' and wut the heck here they is.
