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."

: Naw, Crosshairs blow. it makes you aim for yourself. you

Heh heh, okay so I'm a wussy-boy. Anyways, I still like my crosshairs! :-) Server option is fine too. I'm just saying, particularly when there's a fairly low ammo clip count in the arena and your rocket launcher only loads 2 measely rockets, you want to make every shot count. I think it's more fun that way (obviously, there are those who disagree a whole bunch though).
Of course, the Marathon I played towards the end for years wasn't much like the real thing--we built something called turbo-physics. We played a modified Waldo World almost exclusively. Rocket launcher had 8 rockets and the option key would eventually charge it up and fired all 8 at once in super slo-mo (I think it was some sort of juggernaut ammo). You could fly backwards around the arena on the phaser recoil (not to mention using all the available bits up so no one could return fire). And the right shotgun fired phaser bullits while the left fired grenades. Of course our redesigned had Waldo World with lots more triple chargers and ammo clips...
In any case, I'd still love to see an option to turn on crosshairs, if any team members reading this haven't gotten bored and wandered away after all the ranting! :)
