Re: MOUSE VIEW

vully that thing is rather pointless.i mean if you wanted to look left.you'l look left and not be able to see anything,because your not looking at the screen.only way they could fix that is put a visor dropping down from the hat to cover the eyes

Re: MOUSE VIEW

you have not a clue about Track IR have you?  Did you not watch the demo?  Everyone who owns Track IR and has played ArmA, flight sims ect say its revolutionised their playstyle and gives them the advantage.  You only have to tilt your head slightly and keep your eyes on the screen.   YOU DO NOT LOOK AWAY FROM THE SCREEN.  Come on really does this have to be explained?  The video explains it all. 

The motion on camera makes the tilt feel very natural as well thus adding to the immersion.

Its the future and if you are gonna compete against people that use this feature.  You will be at the disadvantage.  Next step towards total immersion gaming.  Lol my brother was an avid controller freak before I introduced him to BF1942.  he couldn't get used to the mouse and keyboard.  Now he can't use controllers for FPS games and would never go back to a controller.

Re: MOUSE VIEW

That looks a bit akward though. You move your head but keep your eyes facing straight. I don't think I would really like it. I think the only way to make it feel properly realistic, and not just goofy is by wearing a virtual reality screen that goes on your face. Id probably end up clipping that thing to a rifle or somthing and configuring it to my aim point controls, now that would be useful, if it would work correctly, but I think it would still be ackward, as then I wouldnt be pointing where Im shooting.

Re: MOUSE VIEW

Just because you like some little gizmo doesn't mean you should insult people who criticized it, like its your little baby... Jeez.

Re: MOUSE VIEW

Read my post I did not insult anyone.  Just agitated by ignorance.  Games should support mouse look. it's not as if its a new thing.  Tribes 2 had mouse look for vehicles and grunt mode.  Why not have the ability to turn your head and scan your left and right as you are moving forward.  having a fixed view in the cockpit is silly.  especially an Xwing has a huge window so you can look up and slightly behind. to left or right.  Would make dogfighting more enjoyable.

Maybe I was wrong to expect the average BF twtich gamer to understand the benefits of such a device.

right.. you cant look past this can you? they are making games TOO real, keep it nice and simple please! no turning your head sh!t and wearing a visor with a screen on it, if you want to use this then use it, but dont go around sayin its the best thing that is happening to the world, coz i wanna know im still in lala land blowing some Chinese guys head off with an M24 Sniper Rife and not telling my brain this is real, you know that kid in Arizona or something that killed all those students with a gun? thats coz he played way too much computer games and eventually thought it was all real.

Re: MOUSE VIEW

Venom what are you babbling about.  My point is I was showing you guys this great new addition to the controller market.  thats all it is is an extra controller.  One that leaves your hands free to shoot while your view is controlled by your head.  bringing up a school massacre is a pathetic statement and has no bearing towards track ir.  Yes games are becoming more realistic.  Just becuase a few nutters out there claim video games did this to them we should penalise the millions of users who enjoy and have no ill effects from games?  Give me a break.
