You got a Red Dot on yo head! Oh S#*&! Is there a way to see the red dot expand like in tfc?

I saw some players on tftv in a competition use the scope, and along with the little meter on the side of the dot, the dot itself grew in circumference the longer held zoomed, just like in tfc!  I would like to find out how these guys do it because it would make me feel all nostalgic.

Also, another thing i noticed in the comp that was different from normal pub servers, is on the map well, at the last cp there are no railings on the stairs leading up to the cap point.  Just something i noticed the other day.



edit - I was mistaken, the dot does expand.

the dot always expanded like that on my computer(since Open Beta). Maybe they use some shader stuff to do that which you haven't enabled?

Well's been like that since the last patch when they changed a bunch of stuff in granary, they don't get special comp maps or anything...

I remember when I first played it after the patch I was like, "didn't there used to be a railing here? O.o".

heh yeah I got killed by a sentry behind the wall at the last cp and was like wtf. Then the next time I approached I saw that other room on the high way from the 3rd cp and it blew my mind. Kind of funny how you get so used to maps and they move a inconsequential barrier or add another cinderblock to one and you really notice how it completely changes your approach lines.

When i scope, i see a large red dot, and a <slightly> brighter red dot grow to the size of the larger one, until they overlap (signifying 100%). 

If youve ever watched a sniper dot in fear as you hide behind a corner (like me), then you would know that the dot grows in size as it charges up.  Its kinda scary to see your ultimate doom charging as you stand petrified at its horrific beauty.

Shame you can't see the enemy sniper's dot on your face anymore, like how in tfc if I was a sniper and I had my light on an enemy's eyes he'd see red. That's fun.

@FlamingSnot: Wow, thats sounds like a pain to fight agaisnt.
