Blu-Tack targetting system

[Crunch McThornbody]

It has to be said that the gun sights aren't always easy to see in every situation, some are just a tiny dot in the center of your screen which can easily get lost in the detail of the scenery in the background, so to combat this I put a tiny dot of (easily removable without leaving a trace) Blu-Tack on my screen right in the center where your weapons shoot at.

 

So much easier to see where your gun will shoot now, especially as I put another tiny dot about an inch above it and a smidge to the left as that's roughly where your gun will fire at when you're shooting from a vehicle.

 

Try it

In the options you can change the weapons reticule to something else (forgot the name) but it changes the dot depending on the weapons such as the shotgun having a dot with brackets on each side. It's easy to see it if you play on a small TV. Seeing a blue piece of play dough while driving can be annoying, though. Thanks for the tip nonetheless.

I've got quite used to the tiny bits of Blu-Tack on my screen now when playing GTAO.

 

I did wonder if there was a high-tech solution to the targetting sight being difficult to see when it's virtually the same colour as the background, something like a HDMI passthrough device which overlays a custom target on the screen, but I suspect such a device would cost magnitudes more than a couple of dots of Blu-Tack

What the hell is Blu-Tack?

You use Blu-Tack (here we call it sticky-tac) to hold up posters/papers on walls and other light things. It doesn't leave a mark on the wall like some tape does, too.

I remember playing the prologue mission and finding it hard to see my reticule since there's snow drops everywhere thus making it hard to see where I'm aiming. I wish we could change that dot to any color of our choice

I just stare at the center of my screen. Christ you put blu tac on your screen wtf thats retarded as sh*t I would keep that to myself. Kids would laugh at you bro.

[Biohazard Abyss]

I never understood the issue with seeing the simple aim dot.

[Smallo92]

Seriously... It's the centre of your screen, not that hard to find.

[CarimboHanky]

i clean my screen everyday before playing as i just cant stand having a finger mark or something on the screen, having a thing physically attached to the screen would drive me nuts.

 

i think we should have the option to change the dot color or atleast make the damn thing red or other color that it easier to distinguish.

 

I never understood the issue with seeing the simple aim dot.

the dot being white it simply blends with everything, i just cant see that thing...

 

thank god i discovered "complex", now this was a game changer for me.

[The Flaming Ranger]

I can't stand playing at my friends house who uses complex. sh*t is too big and looks retarded.

[WTFThisIsntWii]

You can change the simple dot reticle to a complex one in the settings.

I actually went from complex to simple. Headshots are a lot easier.

 

Never had trouble seeing the dot to be honest.

Were you born an arsehole or did you take lessons?

[luisniko]

Complex targetting doesn't change sh*t to me.

Ah, that stuff. Thanks man. I didn't know the brand name lol.

Here it is sometimes called office adhesive but I just called it wall adhesive because I only used it for posters.

[cuti8tushu]

Just use a dry erase marker?

 

Lol or hammer a nail in the screen

[Old-Tired-Grumpy]

LOL

Now i dont feel as bad, Yes i marked the center of my screen using a dry marker (the tv i play on is for the ps3 only lol)

I am 62 and the dot can be hard to see for me, i did change my sights to complex that helped a little but not enough

[Crimie]

Oh i know about this its an old trick Snipers in Max Payne 3 would use, its especially useful for sniping to constantly have the centre of your screen marked as it keeps you a half a second ahead of an opposing sniper. Kinda cheap if you ask me but theres nothing that can be done to stop someone doing this.

[SirPhilMcKraken]

I've only just changed to complex so I know what the spray field is. Useful against people who roll constantly in DMs.

LOL, what is this, Call of Duty in 2009? YAGB
