Re: Bring back the crosshairs!

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."

Bah on Crosshairs!
And I'm not really up to date on Halo, but a 3rd person game has a greater need for crosshairs than a FPS because of the way the camera works. If Halo has some kind of FPS mode with crosshairs, you can disregard that explanation.
As for jumping being a technical limitation... Maybe they did have a reason. In RL unless you're a basketball player you're not going to get much airtime, and well, carrying 8 different weapons in addition to wearing body armor would significantly impair your jumping ability. In the meantime, I'll continue to believe it's because they just didn't want to devote the resources to change something that would then require further changes to the game.
