Title: why cant we change the view when driving????
Post by: BIG-Glen on October 23, 2005, 09:25:40 PM
i've been wondering for a while if there is a reason for not being able to change the view of the vehicles when driving??? :eyebrow:

i just think its a bit wierd and my driving is usually worse than it can be, but any way i arent the best at driving jeeps any way (as people may know)

but i was just wondering if there is a reason for it??

I think that's been disabled as it gives a player an unfair advantage...

eg. a tank driver can use it to see possible c4 attacks...sniper can us it to check behind...etc.

It's to stop people sitting in a tank when capping a flag rotating through the views to stop sneaky SF with there C4 and other unsporting advantages :)

The 'external views' is switched off for the reasons already stated. However, we do allow the nose cam view as it makes it fairer when flying helos.

I think it would be fairer to not allow nose cam either. as it gives the gunner in choppers a big advantage when hovering to cap a flag.
