Author Topic: Rear View Mirror - Why is it allowed?  (Read 6207 times)

That explains a lot. I'm a good sniper and frequently nail people from behind, but lately some people seemed to have a "sixth sense" to danger from behind.

That's really cheap.
I snipe with Guns Akimbo, as well as use them in place of my M16, MP5, Glock-15, and so on. I am a massive help to any team I am on when I have Guns Akimbo, and so this doesn't affect me much.

How does that affect cheapness of rearview?

Says that, with the right weaponry, it really isn't all that cheap. Just use weapons you are good at and can either fire rapidly and hit repeatedly, or use one-hit-kill weapons so close they can't dodge the bullets.

Not every server uses crappy weapons.

I'm not sure how it would be prevented without removing the Blockhead's ability to move his view around without physically turning.

Um, all you would have to do is prevent the ForceAngle value on the hud.

I use the Crossbow and GCat's M21. I'm good with those. I have a specific style of fighting that I love and kick butt with. And if you use rearview you screw up half of the people's styles. Your argument is basically the same one that a noob would give when told a class was overpowered. IE:

"hevy is overpwred? use it!!! that way its fair. everyone can use the hevy. i dont see wat ur arguing about."

You can't kill it, but you can prevent it.
When you have this addon in your inventory, part of your rear view mirror is blocked.
You could try to make a playertype with something like this on the back which blocks the whole mirror sight.

I have it but I never use it. Probably gonna uninstall.

Lately, I moved the mirror out of my Blockland folder, and placed it elsewhere because it didn't toggle anymore. Though at times, it was..."helpful", and others, it was just plain annoying and in the way.


Make top-down DMs

Problem solved.

Well if people make Top-Down TDMs, there is no skill involved. Just crouching, jumping, and clicking. The aiming function is nearly disabled to the point that it's almost like an auto-targeting system.

The add-on's stupid.
It's cheap, and now TF2 TDM's are worthless.

Oh yeah, completely disregard all plans I had for all these crazy features and make a top-down DM so people wont abuse a feature that could be easily removed.
