Sniper view/Spawn point bug

Boco · Post by **Boco** » Sat Feb 15, 2003 8:32 pm

I found a rather interesting bug on BI2... I was awaiting reinforcements in limbo, and I was watching this one guy use his sniper rifle. He was zoomed in and shooting people. Well, when the reinforcement timer hit zero, I respawned in a CO deployable spawn point. Now here is the weird part... My view was zoomed. I was stuck with a zoomed-in view. Everything was real close. Solid Fett was right in front of me, and all I could see was his big head... It was also interesting trying to go through doors... Has this ever happened to anybody else?

I have been confused about the term "Stock Wolf". What is "Stock Wolf" exactly?

It's not a problem with the mod, it's a problem that's in normal Wolf.

you can use this to an advantage... if you spec someone who is zoomed in then spawn with a panzerfaust, you have a zoomed, highly accurate panzer that you can even walk with

It means the game: Return to Castle Wolfenstein itself - not any mod.

Not that you would ever use this though right

well since i suck at panzerfaust... no... but i have seen some people do it

The question is: WHY would they want to do it? Your entire view is misshapen, and you can only see right what is in front of you. Plus, the panzer splash damage is very ebil, so you don't NEED to be 100% accurate. Did I mention how difficult it is to move when your view is zoomed and you only have about a 20-30% range of vision? To me, it just doesn't seem reasonable.

in a place like base it has advantages, although range is severely restricted you can stall nail someone across the map... headshot with a panzer... that's a good shot
but i do know what your talking about... i've spawned on bi2 with this... and tripped over the wire, er died that is... but now that bi2 is gone... i'm soo depressed

There is a way to get the zoom without speccing anyone, but I better not say :p .

Which either involves getting killed or switching something while zooming.
