Re: Crosshairs in Marathon? That's cheating!

SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

Crosshairs... Please leave them out. I mean, for something like the pistol or the fusion gun it's easy enough to figure out where to fire since they're 90% accurate. Crosshairs wouldn't help with the AR, and the off-center firing of the SPNKR would make crosshairs misleading except for long range shots.
One of the things I loved most about Marathon was picking off pfhor troopers while they appeared as little more than 8 indisitinguishable pixels on the screen. You know it's a long range shot when you have to compensate for bullet speed. :)
