I prefer playing Halo with lowered crosshair, to be honest, it felt a lot more natural to me and also felt like I have an easier time seeing the battlefield. So far, Infinite’s gameplay footage have all been played with centered reticle so I’m worried if Infinite wouldn’t have it as an option.
I think a lot of the features we are seeing in MCC will be available in Infinite. It’s all speculation at this point, but 343i has said the game is built for PC and adjusting your crosshair/FOV seems to be a basic feature for PC games. Additionally, the FOV and crosshair settings were well-received in MCC (I’m loving how good H3 feels with a centered crosshair and wider FOV), so I would assume 343i will add the setting into HI.
As for the gameplay seen thus far, perhaps there was not enough testing done to showcase different crosshair settings. Plus, 343i had to show a lot in a short amount of time. Many features would not have made it into the gameplay videos we have seen thus far. Different crosshair locations within a short period of time might cause people to focus on the wrong things too.
I would definitely love a lowered crosshair, its my personal preference. But if the game can adapt the view models well for centered crosshair then I wouldn’t be overly dissapointed if we didn’t get one.
it will make the gameplay more emersive doe
I dont remember seeing it as an option but also i had a weird bug where changing my HUD safe zones would remove my reticle so i didnt really check all of them. here is a fantastic resource of the options in the settings menu during the last flight.
I would never use it, but I totally support it being there for those who want it.
Lowered crosshairs is a Halo staple. I was disappointed to see that it wasn’t available in the tech preview, but fingers crossed it’ll be added later.
I will always support any request that gives positive options or helps the players.
