Suggestions for more variety

Post » Fri Jun 14, 2013 8:53 am

Hey Cryblokes,

Listen, regarding the bow:

Can we please have:

- a selection of cross hairs to choose from;

- sight attachments; pin sights, laser dot sight, small scope;

(Yes this will require full ADS, but it would be nice if the trade-off was up to the player's discretion, and I'm sure you guys there at Crytek are able to do so, though probably unlikely).
- a slightly faster zoom OUT (ADS) for the bow specifically, because in most situations you're a sitting duck and the bow could definitely use more mobility in this regard.
- ANY kind of module cross-over that you could implement aid for in draw time/ ADS/ reload etc. Or even attachments.

The current cross hair is quite unaccommodating, and some variety would be appreciated. In ADS bringing the bow vertical would be a ncie trade-off for a sight attachemnt.

Look, the bow is popular, but there are very few good bow-users out there.
My suggestions won't upset the balance, but attempt to accommodate various tastes of your customers, which goes some way in replayability and minimizing frustration >:(
Players gain a feel for the "personality" of a weapon and this includes the cross hairs.

And then if you guys can fix that annoying arrowhead bug already, that would be great.

ALTERNATIVELY (lol):

If anyone could tell me how to change or just completely turn off the Predator Bow cross hairs, I'll shut right up, and be grateful.
Thanks.

What an impractical design...

Does anyone know if there is an option to map a button that strictly switches between the primary and secondary weapons alone?
I can't seem to find it.

The toggle weapon option flips through the grenade too.
Is there simply no option for this? Because there should be.

Well..um, thanks. I would do that, but then All my weapon cross hairs will be disabled, not ideal.
In my opinion the predator bow's cross hair design is pretty poor, and I feel that we should also be provided with a variety of cross hairs to choose from, or will that be DLC too?


Remember how in Halflife and Quake you could choose your cross hairs. What happened to the good old days?

Yep, just tried that, haha, unfortunately it also removes the "laser dot" from your sights with the bow.
I would really like to be rid of the brackets in the cross hairs.

Man, despite all Crytek's efforts, I can really see Crysis 3 MP become boring fast with the lack of imagination in certain areas of the game and options for customization of gear, for example something as seemingly insignificant of the topic of this thread.

Frustration kills replayability.

Laser Dot?

I'm just using the iron sights, more fun :) Spent the first mission trying to learn to aim in cloak lol

Crysis and Warhead/Wars had the option to change cross hairs :( I miss being able to change the menu colours

Yeah, I dunno what's up with Crytek giving us fewer options on such rudimentary stuff.
And the dot I mean when you draw the bow it has a little white dot that appears.
I would settle for that alone and not have that ridiculous huge bracket to deal with.

Quick question:
When you have "Rapid Fire" equipped, does it increase the draw speed on the bow?

The crosshairs could be nice tbh
Oh lol, maybe I should use crosshairs on the first play through, I didn't know it had a dot

People say it doesn't affect the bow

It doesn't affect the bow, it affects me.

And if you play with the bow+high ping then you wont amount to anything, I've had enough playtime with the bow to know that now.
I'm already kinda bored.

I mean, the bow keeps me in C3 MP cos its hard, but the frustration due to lack of customization for such simple, easy-to-implement things really puts me off.
I only played C2 for 2 months.
But I suppose Crytek wont mind. If the bow gets no more love then I'm out. Had pretty much all of this in C2.
