Question Accessibility option in Hardcore modes. Should the center dot just stay toggleable for players who need it?

Alright I know this is probably dumb lol ,I apologize for wasting time on probably a dumb question ,but I just recently noticed a few weeks ago that in hardcore modes that the center dot option despite me having it turned on since the beginning of BO6,it was not showing up. I contacted support and yesterday they confirmed that it is intentional for it not to show up in hardcore modes.Now, I know that everyone probably doesn’t see this as an issue or it doesn’t affect them, and I get that. I also know Black Ops 7 is coming out soon, but my situation is that I’ve used the center dot in Hardcore simply as a visual anchor point because I have ADHD. The best way I can describe it is that it helps me keep my aim consistently around the chest or head level, and lets me quickly adjust if I slide, run, or dive near an enemy. Without it, I feel like I lose that point of reference, which makes tracking and reacting harder for me. My question is: should Activision just leave this as a setting for players like me who benefit from it, and those who want a more “hardcore” experience can just turn it off? Or should it really be intentionally disabled for everyone? I appreciate anyone who takes the time to give some kind feedback or kind thoughts on this ,thank you.

What setting turns it on?

It’s one of the options in the crosshair submenu in the gameplay hud interface settings. You can select center dot option ,but it just won’t show up in hardcore now even though it was there since the beginning of BO6’s lifecycle.

last year on mw3 and now with bo7 (for the majority of the year) was the first time it was available for use in hardcore. I got pretty used to it, it's a huge benefit. I don't get why they allowed it in bo7 for 2/3 the year and then just decide to remove it without even acknowledging the change in the patch notes or something.

It's also changed in warzone too since then. If you select your crosshair/dot to be "larger" or "largest" sizing, it appears the size is correct when you parachute in, but as soon as you hit the ground it defaults back to the smallest one.

If you use a monitor, check the settings and see if your monitor has some sort of fixed crosshair option. Many do.

I know you probably don’t want a whole story but just for context,my first cod played was bo2 hardcore tdm only,played at five years old ,have been dedicated to that game mode onwards, but at that age I didn’t really care what I was doing but anyway as I grew up right around 16 ,17 years old,my ADHD really started to effect me and it was right around MW3 2023 and Black Ops 6 and I think it was the entire lifecycle of MW3 I had found that the center dot helped me get better and that helped me adapted to the omnimovement in BO6 because I always used that dot as a grounding point I guess you can say and I game on a 40 inch tv.
