-Z- Z's NEW Vision on CTF

#1 This is how ctf is now??

#2 Hey -Z- nice work as always. Is it possible to take the camera back one notch so that you had a little wider view and that you could maybe even see your tank smoking?

#3 Welcome, Goforit!

P.S. any hotkeys for this?

#4 This is so awesome!!

#5 IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!

#6 All hail the -Z- man!

'Hail! Hail!' ::cheering crowds::

PS Speedboost Ammo Gates are fun too!

#7 I'm dizzy.

#8 I can do that too.....

Hehe great job -z-.

#9 Hmm, it's alright... No offence, It's just that when I do cool aerials, I like to see my tank as it launches, spins, and twists in the air... Plus it's harder to see your own smoke, so it's harder to tell when you're about to die.

I'm not saying it's better or worse, just different. What would be really cool is if we had a the choice... like Ctr W (widescreen) for normal, or Ctr Z (zoom) for -Z-'s new view...

#10 The views will be a choice, if indeed they are implemented at all.

#11 I like 'em and hope they stay!

#12 Wow! It's impressive no doubt, but it took some getting used to when I first dropped in game. For the first couple of minutes i was really disoriented. My turret was aiming every which way and I was missing shots big time. After I got used to the new perspective, I did better.
However, I agree with SteAlth, I'm not so sure I like it, really. It's OK, but I've gotten so used to seeing above and around me when playing that this new view is somewhat challenging. For ex. it's now really hard to know when someone is right behind you. Yeah, I know the radar shows it, but how much can you stare at the radar while playing? And it's harder to know when you: A) have picked up the scrum/flag and B) when someone has stolen it from you!

If Dan says they will be a choice, then that's good. I need to play ti a little more to see what i really think of it, but it's defiinitely a nice job. -Z- just keeps on going and going...

#13 Yep - have to agree with stealth. it's good/different but not better. New stuff and new perspectives never hurt though. good job -Z-

#14 Maybe the perspective could be slighty backed, so as to make the scrum easily visible, eg. the view seen from slightly behind the brainjar.
In CTF I didn't knew if I had the flag or not on my head for sure, especially after bumping in peeps.
Cheers! HB

#15 Another work of computer whizardry from the z-man. Novel, but not necessarily an improvement... maybe better suited for battlemode than CTF or scrum.

Is planetthinktanks.com still in the works, or was the camera position mod a temparary diversion?

Keep up the magic,

#16 The new view is doing wonders for my aim. You certainly need to have a full knowledge of the field before attempting though...it can get quite disorienting. Helluva lot of fun. Any chance we can see it on a team scrum?

#17 you have to remember when you first started the game. Leartnning the normal view was a lot like this one. Whows what we'd say if Brain Cam came forst?

#18 There's no way this would work for team scrum man - it'd be so hard to see where other tanks are positioned and whether or not you had the flag. i think it'd work best for battlemode though. I could see it being wild in battlemode.

#19 It's true that it makes aiming easier, and in a way more realistic. It's kinda fun to see the red target right in front of you. HB

#20 Once agin, cuold I have the code?!?!!?
