centre pixel crosshair

Now you don't get a centre crosshair for dod, question is i can't aim without accurate crosshair, now the one that is off is always to the left. Same for others?

Wanna know if ppl will start making 2 pixel centre crosshairs?

yes, there is no "center" pixel in the game, so you cant do a 1 pixel dead on crosshair

you have to make a group of 4 that are left right up and down from hte central point

Tbh I doubt you miss many shots due to 1 pixel...

The guns aren't that accurate.

Screen resolutions are even numbers, so it's impossible for one pixel to be the dead center of your screen.

If you had a screen resolution of 1025X769, then, yeah you could do it, with that center pixel being at the 513x385 mark.

The higher your screen resolution, by the way, the less noticable it will be. If you compare screen shots from 640X480 to 1024X768 you can tell.

actually accuracy is a big issue especially with kar coz it's accurate you expect to be able to hit someone other side of map :P

Surely dod devs would have known about this, and dilliberately moved the centre by 1 pixel.

Negative. As I stated, with a resolution that is in even numbers, having the center of your crosshair in the exact center of the screen is patently impossible. You just cannot do it.

with DoD v1.1, even on lower resolutions, it's not a big deal for kar or enfeild anymore because of the reduced accuracy, and if you can't aim good, then just offset your xhair very slightly to one side of your target

You can have a 2x2 pixel dot that would be in the exact center, and that is still pretty damn small. Entirely possible to have a crosshair in the very center of your screen.

If you ask me it would be very difficult to see a single pixel in the middle of your screen. Two pixels sounds fine.
