Toggle or just hold +zoom? (47 comments)

I'm curious what you all are using for zooming. Do you use the cg_zoomToggle 0 | 1? And what do you have bound for +zoom?

How does my zoom key placement have anything to do with the way you zoom (or don't zoom)?

if it is on a key that forces you to stop dodging to zoom then you want to use toggle.

zoom toggle I find was easier and also make sure you disable the zoom scaling, so it's an instant zoom.

Since using zoom. (last 6 months or so) my rail accuracy has been pretty stupid and I've hit some crazy angles.

Guess it's what you get used to in the end to be honest.

I'll come and play you on your american servers with 90 ping and still rail you to pieces.

I've got loads of people who can vouch for me, so I don't really need to justify myself to you. :)

Both I hold to zoom for rail and toggle zoom on lg/mg. I wrote a script that automatically zooms out when i change weapons from a toggled zoom. Ik i coukd have just changed fov but there is a diff sens on zoomfov that i got used to.

why do you use rtgh? how did you remap your number keys to swap weapons?

Heartlesss - Reply to #24

r = move left
h = move right
t = move forward
g = move backward

that way my fingers are put on the keyboard with a more natural position, it feels much more comfortable and "natural" for my fingers position than "W A S D" and.... I have even more keys available for my little finger or other fingers, cause i'm almost exactly at the middle of the keyboard (i mean my hand's position). My little finger is naturally put on "S" by default (bind for rocket launcher), and i can still press A (bind for crouch (+movedown)) or X (bind for plasmagun) or Z (bind for walking silently) or even W (bind for HMG) by moving my pinky a little.

Check my config to see my binds :

or

AZERTY keyboard, not QWERTY, because i'm from France :) (so replace A with Q and Z with W)

I feel like I need to hang myself because I use toggle zoom and caps lock for zoom (wasd movement).
Admittedly I also dont use zoom much.

Do you have a special script for zooming? If so, what is it?
