Hi Rez X-hairs
Author: Sueto[KiN] | Reviewed: 8/21/99

First Look:
Another small Zip, which is always a nice thing in my opinion. The included readme is thorough, and installation of the x-hairs is simple enough for anyone. Can't ask much more than that. ;) Sueto takes a very original approach in that his x-hairs are not on the standard "sheet", but rather each crosshair has it's own sprite. This is due to the fact that the x-hairs are for those out there who play in higher resolutions.

Overview:
I have some mixed feelings on this set of x-hairs. They're very odd looking, I'll give them that quickly. Heh. In some cases, the Rocket Launcher, for example, the x-hair is a bit too cluttered, and for me it made hitting my target more difficult. At least, that's for me. They definately add a new feel to the game. I'd have to guess that Sueto made these for resolutions like 1280 x 960 and up, because at 1024 x 768, they feel a bit too large for me.

Don't think that I don't like these x-hairs. Quite the contrary. I'd use these over the standard x-hairs anyday. At 1024 x 768, the standards are FAR too small to be useful.

Summary:
With a few nips and tweaks, these x-hairs could fall into the MUST HAVE category. At the present time, however, they're more in the "should try" area for those who use a higher resolution in TFC. Keep a look out for the next revision!
