What? How do either of your points make sense? You can already free look in flying vehicles. How does it not fit the game? Are soldiers all wearing Batman cowls in the Battlefield universe? How would it possibly slow down the game? I’ll give you an example of how I use it in H1Z1
I’m running across the street to a house to look for gear but I hear shots in the distance. I’m able to continue running towards the house but I can scan the treeline to the right while I’m running.
Why wouldn’t you want to increase your survivability in a game that’s as chaotic as Battlefield?
Not quite. You run where your crosshair is pointing. You can’t maintain a full sprint in one direction and look towards another. That can be the difference between making it to cover and getting killed.
You still haven’t provided a good reason as to why it shouldn’t be implemented in game other than “It’s not already there”
ok, how would you key bind it then? ARMA and H1Z1 are much slower games and i just dont see why you couldnt strafe run. no, you cant maintain a full sprint, but how does looking to your sides help that at all? you should already know whats there before you start sprinting.
On keyboard you could use left alt. Console you could click in the right stick to switch view mode (It works like this in Elite Dangerous) You may have to rebind a few other keys but it’s definitely doable.
happens fast in this game and you need to be able to see and react accordingly. The difference between adding a very helpful, simple to use feature and strafe running can be life or death. Why would you be so opposed to something that you don’t even need to use and literally has no negative effects on gameplay?
yeah, that doesnt sound cumbersome at all. left alt? really? and having to toggle it on console?
dude, think this through some more.
and your solution is to add a toggled aiming mode and/or the most cumbersome key to reach on the keyboard that takes your thumb off of the default jumping button?
yeah, nothing like adding a toggle feature to make grant you the privilege of being able to aim to really allow you to react quicker.
i fail to see how this is a better solution than just turning normally. at least then, if you need to actually react quickly, you dont have extra button presses in your way.
other than making you combat ineffective while using it.
he wants you to be able to free look without locking your point of aim to where you’re looking. like, you could press a button, look to the side, and instead of swinging your gun forward, you can keep running in a straight line while looking to the side.
Left alt is cumbersome? Jesus Christ have you ever even touched a keyboard? It’s literally right beside the spacebar. It’s easy as hell to hit. I can hit left alt and spacebar at the same time with my thumb, if you’re sooo opposed to taking your precious finger off the jump button. Really? Jumping is that important to you? This isn’t Halo!
Yeah it is more cumbersome on console, but literally everything about a controller is cumbersome. That’s the downside of playing with a lesser system.
You still haven’t provided me a legitimate reason as to why it shouldn’t be added in game. Do me a favor. Go play some ARMA for a day and you’ll see how ignorant you’re being when it comes to this issue.
i actually use space for sprint so even more reason not to use left alt. but yes, tucking my thumb under my hand is soooo not cumbersome.
and yes, jumping is that important. if you dont undertand why then i think its highly likely that you really dont understand how to move usefully in BF.
and screwing over console for a vanity feature is stupid.
Go play arma? I own arma. i’ve used the feature. and it slows EVERYTHING down. which is fine because it’s arma. its cumbersome there too, but everything in arma is cumbersome.
Not everybody likes playing their games through a fisheye lens.
I don’t know how you’re even comparing Arma to Battlefield. They are in completely different genres. It’s like comparing Bananas to Cucumbers because they are both kind of the same shape.
Confirmed you have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re merely arguing for the sake of arguing.
If you think moving your thumb half an inch to the left is cumbersome, you should go to physio because you clearly have some sort of issue with your hands.
