Hi, im new to Soldat and I enjoy it very much, but I do think there should be something added in it that would make it more fun. I feel there should be a zoom in and out feature where u can see your guy closer because that far view really hurts my eyes and it gets confusing sometimes when I see like 10 guys on the same platform all shooting at eachother.

Other than the no zoom in and out feature I think the game is perfect.

Please consider adding this feature if there is going to be a next patch. Thank you for reading.

Not a bad idea, nice thinking, but not all would use it, as it would give u less vision around u. it would be good 4 finding campers in near-by bushes and sniping, but, other than that, not too useful 2 me. others can use it 4 other reasons 2.

I would not use it because of the reason given. And because nearly noone would use it, it would be completely useless (like the sniperline).

Zooming in (as in making something look bigger (not looking away like the Barret)) would make it look like crap.

Would you want it to zoom-in/out on the player, or on the crosshair?
I think this feature would sometimes be useful.

He means zooming in on the player.

What boosta said.

Boosta is right. Maybe it's your vision? =\

IMHO, this would be a bad idea, esentially limiting your vision to a small dot, therby blinded to the rest of the map, and, well, we can all imagine where that goes. as far as zooming out, same problem, just situation reversed, you see teh whole field, but at what cost? limited target/poly recognition, basically the same as trying to read a book, printed in size 2 font....

Hm, zooming in on the cursor sounds interesting...

Otherwise, it looks good, but when you really think about it, it's not :-\

Instead, you could just buy a giant monitor. Voila, big soldat.

Welcome to Soldat, Snypes. This idea strikes me as unnecessary. Especially since I can't think of ANY time when I would ever zoom in. I don't understand why you would want to zoom in the scenario you described either.

Probably very pixelated... just like if you were really zoomed in ;)

Well i still think that zooming in and out would be a good idea, it would be easier to spot campers, easier for closer combat and a bit easier to target because the bigger something is the better shot you will have on it.

And what I ment by zoom out, not zoom out so you can see the whole screen(map),but like this : you know how the screen size is now? well thats the furthest you could zoom out, zooming in is the main feature here but having a zoom in without zooming back out to the normal size would be horrible.

I hope i clearified my message now.

It's an ok idea, but it's still kind of useless. I guess it all depends on how you play the game. It's not my place to say anything about it.

Oh no, not you again. Must you comment on every one of my posts?

I said at first glance it seems interesting, but when you start thinking about it it doesn't seem that great after all.

Sorry to explicitly refer to your nooberty, but that might be the only way you see where we're coming from on this one.

i dont like the idea. it would be very hard to implement and will give ppl another point to whine about
