I have a mad multicoloured one that, hopefully, can be seen against most backgrounds.

What's better than this?

Tiny white dot, imo!

I've tossed together several paks, but this is the first time I ever took the time to make or change any of my crosshairs. I made this one for the BFG.

Different crosshairs are not advantageous really, it's just practicing and getting used to it.

Mine looks like this: +

I've found that the lime colored crosshairs will show up the best. I think this is due to the quake palette and it's tendency to use sombre browns, greys etc and to not use bright, loud colors. I think some of the really good railers would have insight into which is best.

I use the white +

I would use other crosshairs, but I get black boxes (lines) around them.

I always prefer the small and to the point crosshairs, like a simple dot or cross. I've made a few .crosshairs. in the past and the ones I use the most are the white 'x' (1-w), the little green square (4-g) and the one with the three yellow dots (13-y). As long as the color is right I don't think it matters that much.

All of my last several paks have used the same crosshairs. I don't know if the stock Q2 crosshairs are the same way, but the main ones that used were centered a little bit too high. It was a bit of a problem with the railgun. If someone was standing on an overlooking ledge and I took a shot at them, a lot of times I'd end up hitting the ledge just under their feet even though the center of my crosshair was dead on them. I started doing up a new pak this week and tweaked some of the crosshairs a bit. Now my railgun cross is perfectly centered, but only if you've got your config set to fire from the center. I'd say that a larger sized cross can actually help sometimes, especially with a weapon like a railgun or machinegun. If someone is strafing left or right, if I get the crosshair completely ahead of them, I'll usually hit them.

I tend to use these ones:

the green cross on the right is my default xhair.

Yea, because your weapon doesn't fire from the center of your screen (the view origin), you can actually never have a crosshair that will always precisely show you where you'll hit at any distance. Also, some older clients might assume that the width/height of your crosshair images is like 8x8px or something, which will obviously throw off how it centers the crosshair.

Btw, I kind of like Toxic's, but I think I would personally find it too large/busy.

Interesting I use the same cross hair as toxic. Been using it for quite awhile!
