Beam Cam

[TheGreatMonkey]

I have no idea how possible this idea is, but it seemed like a great idea to me.

What if you controlled the beam by a camera from the tip of it. It would make them far more controllable. Sometimes it really hard to hit someone with a beam because you can't judge the depth properly and detonate too soon or too late. It would be nice to have a toggle so you could switch between beam cam view and regular view.

Well, since I don't like it when people detonate beams in front of me, I'm going to have to disagree with you and say that it's a bad idea. It's not hard to aim a beam, just put your crosshair on what you want it to hit and bam. It's up to your own depth perception to figure out when you want to detonate it or not.

Its possible and not to hard but imagine a kame with the beamcam...noone can stop you then.

the mods will get up you for that

on topic: personally i dont like the idea, having a fully charged final flash blow up in my face is not something i would fancy

Kelesk...he was just joking...

anyways, the idea would be nice.....for a differnt game, this would just make it all to easy, like ermm what was the map called again? esf_arena or sumthign, well if u just can control ur beam easly with a cam, u could just go into the spawn palce of the opposite team, and thats not fun, it will make this game boring, if u really wanna have a cam on something, go play Unreal Tournament, and use the redeemer

*edit*

damn why did i ruin my 600th post on this post o_o

anyways...WEEEE 600TH POST

rofl! or planetside and use the phoenix!

 

[assaf]

phoenix? what tha???
on topic: if you cant use the beam right, train in doing so. the cam idea is bad, cause when you are using it, some one WILL get you with some powerful attack.
that is a bad idea. if i was magmus i will give it 2/5.

 

[TheGreatMonkey]

If your concerned about getting owned while using the cam don't use it then!

And the counter to someone using this would be to go and melee them in the face, omg so unstoppable!

I suggested this a while ago, with the same title, even. Use the Search before suggesting.

i worked for a UT dbz mod that had a beam cam, trust me, it was amazing, (this mod died btw), true you are left open to attack while your controlling the beam, but in esf you already are with most big beam attacks where your stuck in place, so its not a huge change,

trust me, a beam cam plays alot better than you think it would, but still having a toggle button to pick from which mode would be reccomended, (if implemented)

Your going to get a warning for acting like a mod :warning:

the mods will get up you for that

Yes, we will, no need for you to point it out though .

 

[Sicron]

hmmm, kelesk was right this time BUT I SHALL COUNTER ATTACK SOMETHING LIKE THIS ONCE MWAHHAHAHAHHA......errr *cough*

anyways, nutzy, dont u really think having a cam on ur beam is a bit boring, u dont need much skill anymore to point out percisly where the beam must come (like behind a rock in ESF cell_day) this would make the game to easy, and second using a cam is a bit hard in a fast paced game X_x

 

[TheGreatMonkey]

If its hard to use in a "fast paced game" don't use it. I suggested a toggle people, if you don't like it turn the damn thing off.

 

[Grega]

that could cause lag and dont forget beams are weak against someone who knows how to use melee alot

 

[TheGreatMonkey]

For now...

 

[Zeonix]

I think the "beam-cam" would distort your peripheral vision. While you're tryin to hit someone with a kame...ha, someone else may charge a final flash right in back of your head. And seriously, beams aren't all that important in esf (in 1.1 at least). A "melee-er" will surely swoop under, over, or to the side of the beam, possibly even tele through it. Seems like a waste of time to create.

what do you mean this time? :laff:

and for whoever didnt know what the phoenix was its a weapon in planeside which is basically a controllable rocket

 

[Scorcher2k]

For now...

A warning with your spam this morning.
