What Is The PERFECT Crosshair?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- It’s no secret that first-person shooter enthusiasts are constantly changing their configs.
Whether it’s your sensitivity, aspect ratio, resolution, video settings or your view model, it often feels as if our settings are in a constant state of flux. As if screwing up a single frag is enough to overhaul our entire preferential infrastructure from the ground up.
But there’s nothing that gets subjected to as many endless tweaks as our crosshairs.
Big. Small. Thick. Thin. Large gap. Tiny gap. Dynamic. Transparent. Outlined. Or just an absolute monstrosity. Reticles mark the one aspect of our config where there aren’t only an inexhaustible variety of options but quite literally too many combinations to count.
The question, of course, is what makes for the perfect crosshair? Also, does it even exist?

We all do bruh
Maybe The perfect crosshair is the friends we made along the way
this gets better the more i think about it
Can someone explain this joke to me? I have a feeling that this is a really funny comment
@@neerajpatel1280 imagine using your friends as a crosshair
This sounds somthing like a esports anime character would say
@@neerajpatel1280 i thought it funny as an antijoke, bcs friends we made along the way is a a well known phrase
Crosshairs? I just turn it off and put a marker stain in the middle of my monitor so every shot I hit is a no-scope
And if I miss my shot, I'll just blame my lack of crosshair B)
I just don’t even use one, none of that marker shit I do not use one
Ayyy old cs 1.6 scout trick haha. Works so well. 200iq
lmao
This is gold
That's what my friend did when no scoping but he has a crosshair lol
CS players having all these options
Siege is just happy to have colors finally XD
you don't really need crosshairs in siege tho because in most cases you ads to shoot
@@iglookim u use a crosshair when u ads ._.
Don 5k that’s a reticle, crosshair is only when hip firing
@@donrwclips3416 a reticle is when you ads, crosshair is when you hip fire
i never played siege but cheaters should be fixed before all these config options xD
Dmitri in a nutshell
"Look, It's no secret that *Inset thing* "
Insert (pause) "well" (pause) before the thing
Me, often: “I... I didn’t know that.” 😦
After q while you shouldn't be hard looking at the crosshair everytime you gotta be looking at targets as a whole in order to reduce alot of reaction time say during an enemy peek if you focus on the crosshair you'll miss the micro adjustments needed to hit the shot.
@ModCatLive I'm not sure pentameter means what you think it does. If these videos were scripted in iambic or non-iambic pentameter, that would be really impressive lmao
Dmitri is such a poser man. He’s always trying so hard to say what he thinks a “hardcore gamer” would. Once you notice it you can’t unnotice it, he always says at least one thing per video that makes me think “dude, stop. You don’t have to try this hard, we’re not actually like that”. We don’t say things like “consoles are for filthy casuals” and shit like that.
And the way he always says things like “if you didn’t know x, then you must have just crawled out from under a rock”. Like bro I can tell you didn’t know half this shit before looking it up, you don’t have to act like you’re one of the cool kids and know everything already.

Quake and unreal tournament: guess we were not memorable enough
pr0zac will always be remembered
I'm like did they forget about these? Zoomer company
You right quake and Unreal tournament have different crosshair's for different weapons not hallo!!! LOL
I think most people know that changing their crosshairs doesn’t actually do much but just switching things up creates a placebo when you start hitting shots
It's not just placebo, the mind notices and focuses on change, so for some people changing things up frequently can help maintain a high focus on the reticle and good aim habits.
1 year too late, but does this apply to skins too? When I changed my m4a1-s skin to something that I like, I was really surprised by how I was hitting some shots I wouldn't normally be able to do.

Them: "what is the perfect crosshair"
Me: *plays with a disabled crosshair*
am i the only one that has 1 crosshair across all games, and that crosshair has been the same for months if not years? xd
I’d say yes I’m changing my crosshair on every game at least twice weekly.
Definitely with you on that, got the same crosshair across multiple games made myself in photoshop since years at this point, white dot pink crosshair around it everything outlined by black. And in games where you can't import image files i'm recreating it to my best possibilities. Same with sensitivity, using the same sens and dpi across all games since years
@@aijena how many competetive games featuring a crosshair do you play bruh
If u dont change ur crossh twice a match ur not gaming
You are a psychopath
I really like the new "Cracked" series, please continue it.
But its full if rubish
But it has a lot of false information
@@Flamuski can you elaborate
@@Flamuski stfu
The fact that they missed 2 major games in the late 1990's. Quake released in 1996 and its subsequent releases and Unreal Tournament released in 1999. Both title's released on the pc. Quake being the faster of the two games promoted aim and targeting. While Unreal Tournament had unique crosshairs for each of the weapons notating spread and fire mode. UT was one of the first games that allowed you to change your crosshair to either be a universal crosshair for all weapons or change it per weapon. You are not wrong Halo helped solidify a standard used in most every fps to date but they were not the first.
And more than that, the different crosshairs per weapon in UT were designed so that you would know exactly what weapon you had selected if you were playing with the view models disabled.
Giving Halo the credit for standardizing crosshairs in FPS is straight blasphemous.
Unbelieveable how this guys keeps us entretained 17 minutes talking about crosshairs. Kudos sir
We were using crosshairs in Quake 1 and Quake 2. Last I checked, they were released BEFORE Halo and Half-Life. Get your facts straight.
Maybe he was talking about a more dynamic crosshair, like the halo one , which was able to let you know if you were in range and etc.
Was about to post the same
Don't forget Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, and CS 1.6 were also released before "competitive modern era" Halo came on the scene.... NotLikeThis
The white dot/white cross in Quake2/3 is a must
Exactly, as an old school quaker i got brainfreeze when he said Halo.
"halo is the first competitive fps to feature crosshairs"
Quake III Arena: Am I a joke to you?
Quake 3 came out in 1999? That was a competitive game with a crosshair. LMAO
😎 Best crosshair is taping a dot to the middle of your screen 😎
haha the good old days.
@@TheMurtnaT Now the displays have it built-in. I wouldnt run it, but its there I guess
@@a3sir1100 usually all the games nowadays have the option for a dot crosshair which is cool too
@@TheMurtnaT that doesnt help when using an awp xD
@@a3sir1100 the ones that come with my monitor are trash haha
They are actually Not Dead center, since Resolutions are even numbers, the middle would be .5 pixels.
So my life is a lie?
My favorite set up was from Overwatch, large circle with outwards pointing + and a dot in the middle. Straight lines to line up with terrain, circle to quickly center targets in close range and the dot for precision shots.
No... guys.. no...
Quakeworld (Quake 1 multiplayer) had a number of adjustments to be made to the crosshair and it was on by default.
Duke Nukem 3D had a bloody crosshair but little to no real adjustments.
Both Quake 1 and Quake 2 had lively competitive gaming scenes, being the original games in CPL (Cyberathlete Professionals League)
Yeah, terribly researched intro for this video.
Are you serious? did you just ignore quake? Are these people even for real saying Halo revolutionized with a crosshair? this is just sad
I just wrote this lol

Fly high brother 🙏
Changing your crosshair can hurt you
Laddiff: Hold my crosshairs
Changing your cross hair constantly actually gives you better aim because you focus on it more
That's what I have been doing in Valorant, it really helps
Gamer science is getting worse than gym bro science
This.
Changing crosshair or changing sens by a bit forces your brain out of auto pilot and makes you focus more because the brain isn't in its comfort zone anymore. Tenz has said that he has changed his sens in-between games in bo3 series to help him focus more. Shroud and many other pro players have said similar things about crosshairs. Some people like ropz and elige can focus even without those helpers, but for most people, you could instantly feel the positive difference of changing your crosshair and going back and forth between your two favorite crosshairs.
@@RestTarRr Auto-pilot isn't necassarily bad though. Auto pilot is a good thing with muscle memory and aiming for example.
There was a crosshair in goldeneye, you just had to press a specific button to enable it
Yep said the same thing. This video was a SERIOUS fail for them.
I just have a green dot, yes I cant see it when aiming at white surfaces, no I wont change
ScreaM had a green dot in csgo
@@juanvazquez5836 it was dark blue for a long time as well which is unusual
Same
turned off my reticle one time in a valorant deathmatch and started slaying. I noticed i was having a much easier time tracking targets because i wasnt looking at my crosshair but instead my bullet pattern and my target more. was very eye opening into how i was playing before.
Interesting
I wish games just added a crosshair that inverts whatever color is behind it. Then you could see behind it and it would stand out.
Just activate outline if its available in the game settings
Yeah, yesterday I saw a player with a full screen + crosshair that extended out of the screen, like it literally looks like a x-y plane
Thats a bug in csgo
Uh, there were crosshairs in the Quake games thooo, starting from the second one if i'm correct, which was launched in 1997
Damn man, fire vid. Absolutely banger, the first 15 seconds before I commented are enough to cement that fs
shut up
@@RogueBanana no u
Should've had something about the OG Unreal tournament too, crosshair stuff there too.
I made a custom crosshair once, in like 2015, and I bound some buy commands to the number block at the same time. I haven’t changed that config ever since.
It’s a dynamic crosshair, too, and people look at me like I’m a maniac whenever they see it. But I’m just used to it. Six years with the same crosshair will make any crosshair work.
When you recognize the outline of that EliGE pic instantly....
I just realized that dimitri also speaks with his hands

lol karrigan full running and spamming his usp at kennys planting the bomb with his back turned never gets old.
Ngl, sometimes in my head, I say to myself
“maybe if I had the dot on, I would’ve headshot him”
I feel if I don't change it for a while it just starts to blend in with the game. So making a small adjustment, like 0.5 length or thickness can help it stand out a bit more.
Im not joking thescore will make an enitre documentary off just the chickens in cs.
We did that a couple years ago

btw about ropz's crosshair, he can definitely see it pretty well. Through video compression and youtube it just looks like a spec on the screen but if you had the same crosshair in game it would most likely be very easy to see
me : Im bored
10 mins later
me : lets change the crosshair and sens!! :)
"that accursed casual infested hellscape knows as CONSOLE" FACTS
was I the only one knew it was elige before they revealed him due to the shape of his head?
3:00 excuse me... Halo CE was not a 'console' game. It was just popular on consoles. It released for PC as well, and was very fun. Had an amazing online multiplayer experience with a lot of wacky servers.
Colton's voice sounds like Hiko so much
The completion of Black Mesa & the recent HD Halo release really showed, two decades later, that Half-Life was even farther ahead of its time, including having done most of what is credited to Halo in this video a few years beforehand. (Crossbow zoom much? Rocket launcher laser pointer?)
And Counter-Strike predates Halo too.
The only crosshair customization i get is enable legacy cursor and the size
Halo CE Release Date: 15 November 2001
Counter Strike Release Date: 8 November 2000
Top notch research as usual guys!
Quake 3 Release Date: 2 December 1999
When can we choose the exact pixels that our crosshair is? When will a game add that?
lmfao ‘turbo virgin sova arrows’
Dimitri, how dare you mention sensitivity first lol It's literally the only thing I don't change. Res, Crosshair, viewmodel, etc.. hell yeah but I don't mess with muscle memory
Loved the vid. Get scientific with it!
dot crosshairs definitely make screen panning seem full of more "motion" while bigger ones don't. Spraying with bigger crosshairs is easier for me
The don't change sens coz muscle memory thing is snake oil. The human brain is designed to adapt to exactly that kind of thing. Children's bodies change proportions constantly and yet they're able to run (/draw, do gymnastics etc). World class racing drivers can perform with cars changing weight due to fuel, changing grip due to tyre wear etc. Plus a study showed that changing your sensitivity for practice actually resulted in better and faster improvement to aim, the theory being that the brain has to stay focused on the task rather than switching off because it's so familiar. Aim Lab even added a sensitivity randomiser to help players practice this way.
I tried many kind of crosshair but at the end of the day, I have easier time to spray and tap on a dots crosshair with medium gap (basically the smallest value of crosshair length with slight gap). Granted it's not as good as dot or small crosshair in a long range shooting, but on medium range is super easy to heashot.
The first third of this video is full of misinformation:
CS came out in 1999, 2 years before halo came out (2001)
Halo only pioneered 3D fps on console; quake, unreal and half life were years ahead of console.
Quake 2/3 (possibly quake 1) and unreal tournament both had crosshairs.... and were years older than Halo
CS Came out a year before Halo Combat Evolved and had a very visible crosshair. If you wanna go back some more, the beta for CS was a year easier in 1999 and also had a crosshair. Unreal Tournament also came out in 1999 that has crosshairs and many to choose from in the settings. Since we are on the arena shooter genre, Quake 3 Arena had crosshairs in 1999. Halo isn't first in this regard.
The halo crosshair changing colours to show you should shoot is such a cringe thing to think is revolutionary
CS came out before Halo. Kind of messes up the narrative here of Halo being the first competitive game to have a crosshair.
cs... quake 2.. hl... unreal 1... wtf? This is so unbelievable bad that it ruins every credibility.
edit: only new was the color change because consoles needed aim assist. so much to competitive...pff
Go old school: John Kaleta's "Illinois Cross of Death". (RIP, you absolute legend.)
Anything that's green = good crosshair
True
In rainbow six siege it’s seems like cyan green pink and red are the play
I still don't know whether I should look/focus at the crosshair or the enemy
HELL YES THEY TALKED ABOUT HALO!!!
Hell no even Unreal Tournament had a fairly customizable crosshair.
🤖
The old Delta Force and Joint Strike Fighter games brought crosshairs into competitive gaming years before Halo.
Quake predates all of that stuff. The intro to this video was poorly researched.
“For all those league of legends enthusiasts out there” I used to play r6 😭
Ok but whag was the point of this comment??
Changing the crosshair now and then might help because it's something new and our brain might think "something new, better focus up"
Single dot is the only answer. Don’t at me
"And allows them to aim, direct gunfire and go... clicky clicky boom boom." I really love this method of teaching :D
When dimitri told League players what a crosshair is, all i could think of was:
Dimitri is that type of guy who thinks he understands the meaning of water more than anyone else.
Back in my days we used to take tiny pieces of tape and stuck it in the middle of the screen...
Whenever I change my crosshair I become cracked for like 2 weeks
After the 2 weeks ur trash again... And get a new crosshair lel xD same
Finally someone that relates to me. After 2 weeks I feel washed on my crosshairs and I change it and I feel like I hit so many more headshots
You just provoked a Gang war with that title
"Story of Halo" petition starts here:
The tic tac toe crosshair is the best one like its so big you can’t even see the enemy LMAO
I would watch more of these if they weren't so cringe.
I think y'all missed a big aspect of crosshairs in that you didn't look at their applications in a real world setting. Reticles are commonly used to provide distance references, which in turn help accuracy WRT bullet drop and wind correction for projectile weapons. Now in the digital domain, hitscan weapons do negate some of the uses, however they can still be very much used to judge distance. And one can imagine for example a muscle memory correlation of one crosshair-length for a flick being built over time. For a shotgun it can help one to judge spread.
That said, the precision of a dot is an important factor as well. There's the old saying of "aim small miss small".
Pee pee poo poo
poo poo pee pee
First Counter Strike came out in the year 2000 as a mod for Half Life that spread like wildfire, Halo came out in 2001. Unreal Tournament also came out in 1999. This first version of counter strike also had a crosshair. And Unreal Tournament also had customizable crosshairs. A bit unfair to say Halo was the first.
Can yall just get rid of dmitri entirely.
"Simulation sickness"
Me who played Titanfall 2: goddamn right
Ropz "its a very bad idea to change your crosshair"
Tenz: ...
I love that he put flom's "crosshair" in there XD
I took Zywoo's configs and modified the crosshair. I turned it green, made it a little bit 'thiccer' and made it dynamic. I love my crosshair and do not plan on changing any time soon!
Our third-eye is the crosshair for the higher dimension, we just have it transparent
Halo CE, now those were the days. I remember playing that a lot, think there were custom maps at some point too.
I don't want crosshair anymore, i want Dr. Madison
I use a 2x2 255,0,0 red dot with no other kinds of mods as my crosshair and it's worked 100% of the time for every FPS I've played
someone once told me, it's not the quality of the pen, but it's the hand guiding the pen.
dimitri 100% does this series to have excuses to talk to that dime piece professor
Give us more Colten G!
Gotchu!
omfg 4 player split screen, i remember if there was only 3 ppl we'd fight on who gets 3rd player bc of the screen size
I like your cracked series
What you missed is the part placebo plays in crosshairs. sometimes, changing crosshairs up can highlight it more or just give you a feeling you did something useful, which by placebo ends up making you perform better.
Placebo helps me for sure when I change from right hand to left hand .
"You also dont need to memorize smokes in Valorant"
Yes, yes you do. Whether its the brim molly, Viper or Killjoy nades or Sovas arrow. Sure, they arent smokes per see, but you definitely need to know these Lineups. The UI ones on sova are only used because the l,eveldesign on some maps is just really clean w/o that many lines like in CSGO.
Lol play a different game valorant is trash
You forgot about Unreal Tournament. They allowed you to change your crosshair, and even your HUD.
