I don't remember a crosshair being an issue, was it like not there or something and I didn't realise?

It kept the lowered offset console crosshair (like Halo had) for the PC version, which is unplayable imo. There was an ini file you could edit to move it to the middle, but was funky with some weapons, so I had to quit.

Ah I've never minded when games have slightly lower crosshairs. Probably due to the amount of halo I played as a kid. In fact on MCC on PC I was annoyed that it was centered by default haha

I didn't even know that was a thing and didn't notice it in OW. Funny how something most people don't notice is "unplayable" for others.

Its fine on controller, I played tons of Halo with it, but for mouse and keyboard it's horrible. A really odd or lazy design decision for the PC version, my guess is they probably couldnt be bothered adjusting it, Xbox was their main market.

I played on PC with m+kb.

I played loads of Halo too and even if I was to go on Xbox now and play, the crosshair wouldnt bug me, it works on controller, but when I use mouse and keyboard it needs to be in the middle of the screen.
