Fog of War

I think that when someone zooms in with the barret passed the normal screen box, it should display a "fog of war" like effect in all the areas except the cursor area.

Hard to explain...

What I mean by fog of war is that it displays a dark shadow over the whole area passed the normal sight line and does not show enemies or any other events.

So, in a sense, it should turn into a realistic mode when you zoom in, but only see what is in the direct line that your cursor is on.

I think there should be a fog so a zoomed in person knows that there are people they cannot see so they should be careful.

Might eliminate a few campers.

I think this should be either
Realistic only
or
An option for the server

Yea, probably for realistic. Sounds good, but do you guys realize how small that cursor is? Lol you'll never be able to keep up with anyone.

Dont make the "tunnel" you see the height of cursor... dude.

like a certain % of screen's height. maybe 25% or something like that.

It should be transparent white fog...

But i still dislike the idea. It would make maps look too weird.

No.
It's a good idea, but if that's put in I think the scope view should be longer. Just my thoughts, but yeah.

yea, if it's in scope should be longer! and the view area, it's not just the actual size of the cursor, is it? it's like a bigger than the size of the curser...cuz otherwise it'd be WAY too small.

I suggest a cone then. Your regular line of sight is a cone too. But I suggest only using the cone when the barretter is crouched or lying on the ground, and it should be optional.
To be honest I don't mind the weapons being as they are now.

do you think the barret zoom (normal, whatever) should be able to look through polys?

i thought the idea would be nice but then i think again, it kinda sucks. i see how someone would like it but in real life when someone uses a scope you can see whatever you can see with that scope. the white transparent fog sounds a lot better.

Just have certain maps with fog that block barret use.

Whatever the fog , the "tunnel woud rather b like a cone. i think the range of the scope when
lying down should be increased, with the cone havinga 20 degree width.

just black out the area that is not around the crosshair like in CS when u look thru sniper scope.

OR we could have a customizable list of backgrounds like computer targeting system etc.
