Well I find it quite annoying that when I'm trying to aim at someone my own character blocks my view, so my suggestion is make him Transparent when ever your character and crosshair mixup.
Because atm its impossible to aim at people who fly underneith you.



Current situation:

My suggestion:

Well tell me what you think.

Hmm, it is a good idea nonetheless, but sometimes your character going from opaque to clear alot would be annoying..that's jsut me, it mght possibly be a cvar ..iunno, but I do love the idea, the suggestions forum is crap nowadays, and you have a simple, creative and awesome idea. :yes:

It's been done before and I'm sure most of the people here can agree. It isn't impossible..... not a bad idea either.

But I can't help myself when saying... Maybe you shouldn't put yourself in that position?

I put myself in this position just to show you guys what i mean :p

But sometimes it just happens, example: I throw someone to the ground with frieza and want to laser his butt.
With the current situation thats kinda impossible.

I have to say, this is the best Idea brought up in a long time. It would be nice to have your character become see through when firing down in 3rd person.

I've been in that situation a few times, and its been very annoying, so its a great idea, but it could become annoying when and if your cursor does happen to go over your character when your swooping and you dont want it to etc...

well that might be added, that when you swoop..it does not happen, thats the con of swooping then. (or a pro, depends on how you look at it).

very good idea imo.

Yeah, maybe only have it occur when your looking real far up or down, since thats the only time your really ever in that kind of situation. It'l have to be looked into, but otherwise a great idea, nice thinking mate.

This is by far, the best suggestion I have ever read. I've found myself 80% of the time, in that position, trying to fire a beam in an almost if not completely vertical looking position (Pointing up and down.)

Your character should only go transparent if your crosshair overlaps your characters model in 3rd Person view.

I suggested this idea to Masta a couple weeks ago after playing MDK. Basically it'll fade out "smart". If your looking down it fades out enough to see through. If your back is to the wall, it zooms up on the body and fades out. (instead of popping into 1st). Oh well, hope it gets implemented. I'm trying to get a new crosshair too:)

A reasonable suggestion, but Hwo is right. If you're trying to fire downward or swoop straight down you're probably on the ass end of your fight anyhow. :0(

I wouldn't mind this option, though--so long as it was optional and controlled.

well that might be added, that when you swoop..it does not happen
As judge said before they could make it that when you swoop it doesn't happen only when your looking up or down.
