Hi.
First: I dont want to complain about using this command to see a bit more.
I have set it up to 2150. Thats fine.
But u also can have 3000, 4000, even 10000+ and u see everything.
Ok, the last settings would be pretty **** for playing, but it should be just an example.
There are other command like "scene_farClip" and "cam_distanceStep" and so on. With them u dont that that glitches and can exploit it.
I can understand people who dont want to play with g_camDistanceMax 1650, but when i see people who have settings about 2500-3000, i think that is exploiting.
S2 should remove the console for us and lock the cam distance to 2100-2300, something like that.
Is there any official statement about the cam distance, yet?
Im feeling uncomfortable when i think of that some people have maybe some advantages more then me :/ (oooooooooooh, Q_Q, i know, but its true!)

there is a minimap, you are allowed to see everything not in fog of war.

so? its easier to see everything directly on ur map instead of looking on the minimap... u can faster act u can plan ur moves better and so on.
and thats no argument, "there is a minimap".. i can play easliy with 1650 and using the minimap. why can't everyone do so? but i dont want to have a disadvantage to other players.

Remove the console?! What are you smoking?
I agree about setting the cam distance max to a server-set value though.

Hi.
S2 should remove the console for us
You are a BETA TESTER, not a ''player'' that's why you have access to the console, and to the Dev tools...

lo there not getting invloved in these arguments anymore so jus gonna say that s2 said they are keeping the current cammera distance and they are gonna seal up all holes in chnageing this before release
so my advice is get used to it before they do :)

Actually you have access to the console so you can do cool stuff. Both Savage games provided console access as well.

I honestly can't think of a multiplayer game made in the last 3 years that doesn't have one.

It was never intended to be available. They don't give a **** right now or they are still gauging the community's opinion on max cam distance.

They just haven't locked that variable yet.

Haha "Remove the console". Sigh. That is the nuclear bomb approach, which would also basically destroy mod debugging.

2100-2500 imo. I play on a 30". 1650 is like me gouging my eyes out. Literally.
another thread? lock it already!

Why not just allow people to zoom in game beyond the current 1650, up to say 2500 or whatnot, so then people can DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES HOW THEY WANT TO PLAY THE GAME. No reason whatsoever to keep 1 perspective and tell everyone to deal with it, let people play how they want, and people who want to play at 1650 can. It should not only be a console function of course, because it should be a readily available option for everyone. But if some people gain an advantage because of a console function enabled perspective, the answer is not to just remove the option altogether, obviously some people really want to play the game differently and feel it is better that way.
And if people want to ***** endlessly because someone else chooses to see more than they do, who the hell cares? As long as anyone can play that way it's completely fair.
Aslong as you dont effect the fog of war, let it be as it is, i personally plat with 2100..
and too OP @ the "remove console"... As some one said, youre a beta tester, dont like it? SOD OFF

Stealth nerf without even a dev post to support their reasoning. This is thoroughly infuriating.

i actually hate this game zoomed in that much, if i have the visibility around me i'd like to see it.. it's too zoomed in. i play on 2100 and it seems acceptable.

The colours of your sig show that you have already gouged your eyeballs out with a spork, thus, your opinion does not count. However, it is intriguing how manage to post with no eyes.
