I hope we will be able to modify the HUD to turn off the COD hitmarkers.
Or even turn off the crosshairs totally.
I’ve played too many modern games these days where Hitmarkers are so hard coded into the HUD you can’t turn them off unless you use mods.
Please give us the choice!
You mean the hit markers that show up when you land a shot on someone? What are your thoughts on damage indicators showing the direction you're taking damage from?
Yes, the damage indicators and kill indicator.
I don’t mind the damage direction indicators too much, they usually don’t block my vision like hitmarkers do.
When my crosshairs flash and change colors, it’s pretty distracting for me lol.

From all we have seen and heard regarding the Portal so far, then YES that would be possible. It is also the same HUD components that are switched off for the classic hardcore mode, so this would be one of those things that you can decide to include or not for the players in the game on your server.
If you have previously rented BF serves, then you will be familiar with how each individual option is controllable per your personal preference. Like with these two options here, as example, where switching off the HUD will remove the hit-markers and also the 'fixed screen' crosshairs, which would give you exactly what you ask for here!

@Alphariuz-IImost likely but i wouldnt turn it off since you don't know if you are hitting them and if the drop looks weird
Hi @YT_Positive ,
This is standard in hardcore mode, so absolutely no problem to play without those 'artificial aids'. It is just another gameplay experience.
@Alphariuz-II Love the idea for a hardcore type mode (which is what I prefer to play). The latest COD MW implemented something like it and it totally changed the game. You actually had to make sure your target was down, the game didn't magically tell you. If someone dropped into cover as you fired, you may or may not have taken them out and you had to consider them as a threat until confirmed. Of course it also meant that if you took fire, you could go to ground and work around your attacker as well.
@YT_Positive Hopefully drop is a little more realistic in this game. we used to zero rifle iron sights for 300m with the real thing. In some previous BF games, it feels as if you have to aim six feet above someones head with a sniper rifle to hit them at that sort of range.

Nice observation @Rusty Rat ,
But dont you think then that the real root cause problem here with our aka bolt action rifles in the game was they had a too slow muzzle velocity? As actually thought that the gravity drop was calculated correctly in the game? (all of course apart from the weird exceptions as aka the SSR-61, which i think they put at just 6m/s2 at BF4 game launch? :o)
Been a while I have played around in the field, but wasn't it something like 15 inches drop out at 300 yards when using ballistic tip 30-06 ammo (so not round nose), so aka maybe a 4 MOA drop at that range? So yes, 4 times higher drop in the game versus quite ordinary rifles and ammo in 'real life'. But from seeing all predominant outcry against snipers in the game, don't think making them even more powerful would make it any better, despite also assault rifles and all might get beefed up also?
