Right/Left hand toggling mid-game

Heatio

Is there a way to bind the ability to switch from right or left handed point of view to a certain button? Like so i can press a certain button mid game and switch to left or right handed weapon position(s)?

If there is not, i suggest that there should be. For more experienced players it would be useful ingame.

Here's why:
When you are playing your gun takes up a considerable amount of space, this being means that you can't see all of your surroundings.

The way this comes into play is when peeking, for instance:
If you are peeking a left corner you would want to have your gun positioned right so you have the ability to see all the players to your left.

If you are peeking a right corner you would want your gun positioned left so you have the ability to see all the players to your right.

The ability to toggle this option mid game would help players to see all their surroundings. It would not be giving any unfair advantages to anyone, but rather helping those with an already toggle-able option.

Hopefully you guys get the jest of what i was trying to say here.

I've seen this before in CS, and it's a pretty cool feature. I don't think CF has the option to bind it to a key though. Would be interesting if this feature came around to see how it changed gameplay.

I personally wouldn't like that change of play style but that's just my opinion. I prefer people changing it at the end of rounds or before the game like they do now.

Why? It hardly changes anything advantage-wise for anybody

Move to Suggestions pls.

I got the idea, perhaps a double tap s or a double tap d.
(nuisance for pubstar-walk, but I like the idea)
Only thing is, to implement something like this, it would have to be first established in the mother version (and an implementation like this would also take a significant amount of time, it would take a considerable amount of development restructuring)

what even more important than vision is positioning

what i would like to see is viewmodels in this game, too bad it will never happen

It would not take any work are you kidding? It's already implemented all I am suggesting is not having to go to options and change it every time, to bind it to a key of your choice in order to be able to change it multiple times per round. It wouldn't take much work at all

adding binds wouldn't be hard nor time consuming, however it's crossfire; the amount of customization is almost non-existent

No one would use it though since sprays switch between right/left also. Would mess up muscle memory way to much for it to be valid.

think about it... you can change Mouse sensitivity with "/m "number here""


You can assign macros to type out a message... thus using macros to change sensitivity...

f5 - "/m 15" for sniping
f6 - "/m 100" for knifing...

So whats stopping a simple button macro changing something else in the setting such as...

/hand l
/hand r

then assigning it to f7 and f8
or something along those lines

It might mess you up, but i garuntee it would help a lot of other players including myself.
