Title: Bullet Cam.
Post by: Thinkto urself on December 07, 2007, 10:22:24 pm
Some of you consider this as an advantage, But sometimes when sniping from a higher view, It is Very
annoying. I'm not saying get rid of it, but rather set it as an option. E.G. when I snipe standing up without zoom and kill someone I feel so smooth and sharp, When I'm zooming in and miss someone, I feel blunt and dull. The bullet cam should be an option on barret.

Just get used to it.

N00b one:OMFG!!! I'm SO SICK OF BEING shot!!! It should be an option to be able to avoid bullets killing me!

Please just get used to it, or stand up and don't zoom.

Yeah. It's a pain in the ass for me when I'm not using it to find enemies.

But then I won't be able to use it to find enemies.

How about adding some sort of functionality so that you can shoot with or without the bullet cam, without having to change it in the options?

Ya, thats what I said, like alt+F2 for sniper line, maybe B on your keyboard to turn it on.

This is a great idea, F12 - although Alt-F2 may be a little misleading sometimes (Press Alt-F4 for bullet cam!). Atleast set the default setting under the player options, and then be able to set it in-game with some button.

It's stupid.
It's like having an option to leave your pants zipped up when you need to pee.

Not only do you sound stupid by suggesting it but you also made a giant mess all over the floor and on your pants.

First of all, Don't Crouch or go prone if you don't want to zoom, second of all, you don't have to zoom when you go prone/crouch and third and finally, Deal with it, You people keep suggesting things that most players don't find a problem. Either conform to being able to use it, or live with it, Or adjust to a better way of doing it.

Code: [Select]
[Barret M82A1]
Damage=2
FireInterval=240
Ammo=10
ReloadTime=180
Speed=120
BulletStyle=1
StartUpTime=0
Bink=0
MovementAcc=0
Recoil=0
Here, replace your Barret stats with these in your weapons.ini and then play offline.
No totally overpowered barrett anymore!!111 I think this is balanced. M79 rulez...

I hope you get it...

Whats your problem Pie? If your gonna reply in my thread might as well not post something stupid.

Whats your problem Pie?

Pie's problem is that he thinks you want an option to turn off the scope.

First of all, Don't Crouch or go prone if you don't want to zoom, second of all, you don't have to zoom when you go prone/crouch

He needs to read the OP carefully.

he clearly states that the bullet cam is bad, The entire concept of bullet cam is annoying. This is a stupid topic. Deal with the zoom or don't zoom.

Zoom and bullet cam are two completely different things. Make it clear which one you're talking about, because this topic isn't about the zoom.

Bullet Cam activates only if you zoomed with Barrett, so it's about the same thing.

Ya, but it'll be usefull if you could zoom and not habe a bullet cam. For expample, you miss the shot, want to make sure that the opponent isn't running at your position with a knife/whatever, but you can't because you're busy watching your missed shot.

OMG. I meant have an option to turn it on and off like the sniper line. Not removing it entirely.

No. I still don't like the idea. Seems unnecessary.

Guys, try standing up when the bullet cam is on  8)

...it locks. your soldat cant move, shoot, re-aim or anything.

Post by: O.R.I.O.N. on December 11, 2007, 12:26:36 pm
Wrong. Stand up when bullet cam's active, and you snap back. Even if it doesn't, you can still move and shit.

What he speaks is true.

I still dont like the bullet cam, like said in the original post, it just seems weird, cant really explain why.

Post by: ICanCount2Purple on December 11, 2007, 06:04:52 pm
good idea but the cam leaves you vulnerable to attack, and wat if your flying wen you shoot?

You chose to fly when you shot, you will have to deal with the consequences.
Title: Re: Bullet Cam.
Post by: KorrupT MerC on December 12, 2007, 01:07:49 pm
Wow people understand, if your zoomed all you have to do is release the button/stand up, its fact, it works, try it sometime.

If your flying in the air, usually you dont want to zoom but if need too, thats when your skill will have to come into play.

Post by: crazydude360 on January 04, 2008, 04:32:44 pm
i say dont get rid of it but make a way to cancell out of the bullet cam. i HATE it when i am forced to watch my missed shot ricochey and go all the way across the map (and get killed waiting for the bullet to finish)
Title: Re: Bullet Cam.
Post by: Will on January 04, 2008, 04:36:03 pm
What about if you hold the fire button, the bulletcam remains active, if you let go it snaps back. It seems so natural to me.

Wow, talk about slow.
The point here is to remove the effect of the camera following a bullet after shooting from a zoomed state, which is a pain in the ass to cancel, and severely exposes the shooter to any incoming threats.

If you're crouching, you let go of the crouch key. If you're proning, you press the prone key.

Okeyz??

Right, except 90% of the time when I'm using the zoom feature, I'm proning, and not only does it take too much time to get up from a prone, it's also bugged, because if you do anything other than tapping the prone key for a millisecond, your soldat will stand up and immediately go back to a prone...
