Making cross hair smaller?

[clickityclack]

So I've heard it can be done and I kind of want to try. But (a) I have no clue how, and (b) even know if its worth it. Is this something a lot of people do?

Go into options and there will be an option to change the size of it (large, medium, small, autosize) and choose one. I personally choose the smallest one there. It helps with aiming and stuff. I'm not sure how to explain it so just change it and give it a shot. You will notice the difference. It makes things feel more accurate and gives a more precise area to shoot at. If that makes sense.

actually the best way to do it by using the console command cl_crosshairscale. The reason people do it is because it gives them a more accurate centerpoint to aim at.

cl_crosshairscale {NUMBER}

i would suggest about 2000 to start with

depends on resolution nubs.

crosshairscale 2500 is too big for 1680x1050, yet way too effin small for 1024x768

I use 4000 for 1680x1050.

Good man.

I use medium on 1024x768. I've tried all x-hair sizes.. from microscopic to barely visible. At medium or auto-size, it's just perfect.

Yet again, x-hair size is like sensitivity.. all preference.

Here's a screenshot of what my x-hair size looks like on the res I play counterstrike on.


Here's what small looks like:

Again, it's up to you, and what you feel most comfortable with.

Most people use their resolution whenever not using one of the default option sizes. For example, 1024x768. Those who want a small-medium sized crosshair that is still very visible, they'll use the width as the crosshairscale, which is 1024. For a medium-large crosshair scale, they'll use the height, which is 768.
