I was just thinking that this game is missing this feature that is in many FPS games I know the right mouse button is used to open doors and stuff. But would it not be cool if the right mouse button put you into weapon scope mode like in the other FPS games. For Rifles this would be a really good and easy way to aim I could work even when your in 3rd person view pick your target then right click and aim.

:confused:
My commando zooms when I hold mouse2 down... It's damn irritating too. I'm sniping away at a WB a mile away whilst zoomed, and some ham sneaks up and blows up my hovertec (I'm LE atm) :mad:

Really ? I thought you had to press the mod key or am I just stupid for not checking it out :/

Edit: Well I think it should work for most weapons you kind of look behind a set of iron sights or something

You have to install scope into a weapon before you'll be able to zoom. Except for sniper rifle, which have one builtin. So what is wrong ? you want ALL weapons premodded with scope ?

Nope but I think it would make more sence if you could change to first person aim by clicking mouse button 2 as an option instead of ALT + E <--- just no good mid fight

I think what your really having a problem with is the way you cant move some key functions off an alt key press. If you could redifine the key config to not use the alt key on some functions then I think your problem would be better. That would mean you could put view mode on the mouse if you wanted.

But for some reason you cant take commands that are default to alt key press and move them to just a single key press.

As long as I could assign external/first person view switching to whatever button I want, then yes that sounds good.

I use Mouse 2 as jump, and the enter button as the use/activate/pickup button...

Maybe it could be done in one of the "ini" files?

why not bind mouse button 2 to scope mod then? its done within the options, just use another key to open doors.

I voted no, cuz well i understand it wrong or i just not get the point on it realy. I mean if u have a Rifle with a Scope u have 2 ways to activate, the Sniper rifles "auto" Zoom when u hold down Fire long enuff, the Scope u build on other Rifles activates by default when u press num block 2 i think.
I realy not see where that need to be changed?

afaik if you remove alt from "special action", you won't be able to perform any "special action" (fpp/tpp, trade on of, quick direct reply, etc) at all.

No. Put a grenade launcher capability on Pain Easer and double barrel on Termi !
