Gun placement on screen

[colin4444]

I just have a little complaint with both CS and CS:S. I don't like how the guns you hold are off to the side of the screen. It just looks a little goofy to me.

I think it would look better if they were more toward teh center of the screen, which would be almost directly under your face in real life. It just looks more realistic that way.

 

[sHm0zY]

yeah but then some of you're vision may be obstructed by you're gun.

 

[colin4444]

. . . this would make less of your vision obstructed by the gun. Right now you see the side of the gun and it obstructs a bit. I'm suggesting that it be moved so that it's not at such an extreme angel, and so you would be looking at mostly the top of the gun, and a little of the side. Much like in Battlefield 1942.

well, it might be good for some guns...but for some guns like the AK47 it would'nt make sense since the model shoots from the hip..

 

[dugly]

and who would hold a gun to their stomach and shoot? i know i sure wouldn't...

 

[bliink]

its just that its tilted way to much... probably to show of the model....

 

[Rocketman9mm]

I agree with you mostly. it'd look good if it weren't so far to the side, but its not awful either. hell if you really wanted it to look like you were shooting you'd ask for ironsights.

Once i got a costume skin at CSnation for the M4, which is held down there.
Dident feel comfortable IMO

like doom and doom2? or more as in Rainbow Six: Athena Sword? I like them the way they are

Guys changing the origin of your weapons in CS is a 2 minute job.

A 2 minute job I hope they don't do

Edit: Oh, and in CS:S do you guys think the gun will swing around the screen as you turn like in HL2? I hope so, I like that feature.

I guess it will be able to be turned on/off.

 

[CyberSh33p]

bah, its good the way it is! having them towards the center just looks goofy.

i think your refferring to 'Lazy Weapon' which is basically the same. i tried it in far cry, its realistic but VERY distracting

 

[Crusader]

Yes I am referring to lazy weapon. I like it, I agree it may be too distracting for a highly competitive online game like CS, but I would like the feature to be available to use.

I'm gonna shoot the next person who starts a thread about how cs should be more "realistic"....

Emm...nice drawing.

You can get custom models that do that. I personally like it the way it is. It might work..but I highly doubt it.

Thank you . . . it's one of my best . Yeah, I really don't care that much about this subject. Looking at the CS:S videos, the gun placement looks fine the way it is.
