Question for all. Suit Zoom?

skidz · Post by **skidz** » Sat Jul 01, 2006 5:50 pm

We had this idea to remove the current suit zoom and add Binoculars. It seemed like a cool plan but perhaps a pointless plan?

The idea behind the Binoculars was that it was an item in your weapon inventory and could be pulled out and used. When you zoomed in you could hear the sounds from the point you were zoomed in too.

Does this sound like a cool idea or should we scrap it?

Yes please. I currently hate the exploit to make any gun a sniper via suit zooming in and out quickly, binoculars would stop that...

No thanks.

Scrap it , hl2 beta weapons are sooo last year.

And the zoom makes the hev suit even more special ,
Unlike half-life 1 coop , a player not having the suit and an other player having it can make actually a big difference in combat.

I don't think you should remove it, but maybe you could have it so that on a server the admin can choose wether they want it or not.

Its settled, a server command will be added to remove the suit zoom if the admin so wishes.

They would be cool, featuring the same origin point sound technology like farcry.

Sounds cool. I don't know what you just said, but it sounds very cool.

Takes sound from the point you are zoomed into. Basically you could zoom in on some combine talking with eachother and hear them.

Ah, ease dropping from a mile away, one of the greatest things of farcry!

The combine have a lot to say. They constantly call in Overwatch for a sky shield or sweep thing and tell each other about thei current sector and such.
