Behindview 1

Post by InSaNe`DB »

:|

I like playing in behindview 1 and like playing defense with it, to me if gives you a better perspective, no I don't use it for keeper or attacking, only sweep.

I noticed you can't shoot up or down on will. When you charge and aim up, the ball just aims down and is like a floor shot. The only way it goes in the air is if you oc. I wanted to know what's up with this? Is it DB related, or UT makers fault? And can it be fixed in any sort of way?

its how ut works, when you fire anything in behind view it aims exactly foward not down.

there is a behind mutator that gives aim but i never seen it on any servers, also you cant pick like behindview 1-0 with the mut.

any way you can edit the behindview david? i like to play with it too.

Yus, I was hoping for a solution to this to.

I like to play def with this view also, but you can only use the pass button in this view due to the aim it gives u when u use the shot button.

It's strange how u can volley up and down with this..but cant do the same with shoot O_o

Also i have heard about a mutator like this..fizzy talked about it to me once and said it would be great to have something like that included in db by default...and i agree.

I tried it (i think it was called TakenfromBehind ?) and it works ok..ur view is also fixed so it scales perfectly..or something :p \o/

And u can switch with the behindview command!

I can imagine it wudnt be hard to implement..right? :o

Yeah you can but offline it doesn't work, strangely.

Maybe they can get it to be like this permanently.

offline? it shoots always but unless you hit something (volley/shield gun jumping) it aims at level point. aka when you spawn facing foward..that angle.

oh wait, it had worked after some celibrations but thats proberly to do with weapon switch after you shot into the goal.? no idea :e
