running simulator in first person is horrible

[Tailn]

While i enjoy my hardcore very much i do like to balance it with a twist of softcore, as such i will be hoping for 3rd + crosshairs (as long as i can confirm 100% that you can not get range) I will give up way points however as they are toddler-mode.

Please provide arguments that may sway me and no the "because hardcore is only core" (need epeni extension by saying i only play hardcore) argument is not good enough.

Also my finger starts to hurt after holding the W key down for 10 minutes. I need to get a little weight or something to stick on it for extended journeys.

While I tend to play in 1st Person most of the time, I do find it useful to have 3rd person to compensate for the lack of mobility and peripheral vision. E.g. if you're prone, there's no way to peak over the long grass or low wall in front of you without kneeling up and exposing yourself to lolsniperz. Crosshairs I find useful as a point of reference on screen and because the sights are off on quite a few of the weapons, but I could live without them. Even with labels/range/spacebar scanning disabled, the crosshair T equates to shoulder width at 100m (or was it 300m? Can't remember off hand), so you can use it to get a pretty accurate range estimation using any weapon even if they don't have a mildot scope.

steam overlay is shit, use autohotkey like true men:


LCtrl & r::Send, {W Down}

LCtrl & f::Send, {W Up}

Turn off headbob in game options. This turns off the simulation of your eyeballs being glued to their sockets and unable to rotate.

weak and soul-less automation versus clever human ingenuity

wow ok m8

I also like using AHK to emulate the "Ironsights on button hold, off on release" functionality that some *ahem* other FPS games use. I know, im a bad person.

Strange I love the click on - click off iron sights, what i like more is in arma it's not a banable offense to change something like that to meet your preference.

Yeah.. i got used to the onhold style thx to mw and battlefield.. just feels more natural to me now.. maybe its a phase and ill grow out of it, but i found myself zooming in when i wanted to be scoping too often.

Question for anyone who knows: what do the NVGs look like when they spawn in the barracks? Do they look like NVGs or do they come in some sort of pouch like some of the other items?

[Kalorn]

Believe they come in a pouch, very similar to a GPS (or Makarov ammo).

Oh, fuck me. I've quit checking pouches when I visit the barracks. I've probably left a pair sitting there waiting to be picked up.

Crosshairs are for terrible people who sleep with livestock.

3rd person only rewards corner campers and people who cant fly choppers properly.

I say off to both.

yus, 3rd person and crosshairs are for highsec carebears

[Badboy K]

[friznit]

Shoot more people until you get over it.
