This page applies a stricter filter than the regular small guide: historical v1 length at or below 2 and thickness at or below 1; current CS2 length at or below 8 and thickness at or below 2 pixels, normalized to a 720p reference height. Current Dot Only uses thickness at or below 2 pixels; circles, Static Square, and Static Quadrant are excluded because arm length does not measure their footprint. Gap and color can still differ. The thresholds are browsing rules, not a conversion formula.
Use the current CS format for in-game import. Supported legacy styles 2, 4, and 5 can produce a compatible code for your resolution; dynamic behavior is approximate and original records stay unchanged. See the compatibility and import guide.
Fit and failure cases
- Good fit: stable placement, strong display contrast, and a focus on distant target detail.
- Poor fit: frequent loss of the center through muzzle flash, utility, or rapid clears.
Test a long-range head, a bright wall, a dark corner, and a close transfer. If the code needs more size, thickness, and outline at once, move back to the broader small-crosshair range.
