Any of you scouts use it?

I was trying it out as I can definately see the benefits but for some reason I just can’t aim with no gun on the screen. It’s a fucking ludacris joke. :

Was wondering who used it and if it gets better in time :D.

I’ve used it for long now. As I’ve been playing with “no gun” in former games, it was all natural to me. I believe it’s up to each and every if they like it or not, but it’s definately my style and I’d recommend it.

As a demo using no drawmodel makes me pay more attention to my ammo and how many pipes/stickies I have ready to go. I can see a little jump in fps. I get a better view and if you like Bun said get confused between the weapons while switching you can always use different xhairs for different weapons like I do.

Put these lines in your scout.cfg and play around with the colors and and the type of xhair to find out which ones you like.

alias weapon1 “+reload; slot1; bind “MWHEELDOWN” weapon2; bind “MWHEELUP” weapon3; r_drawviewmodel 0;cl_crosshair_blue 255;cl_crosshair_file crosshair3;cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_scale 31″

alias weapon2 “-reload; slot2; bind “MWHEELDOWN” weapon3; bind “MWHEELUP” weapon1; r_drawviewmodel 0;cl_crosshair_blue 0;cl_crosshair_file crosshair7;cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_scale 31″

alias weapon3 “-reload; slot3; bind “MWHEELDOWN” weapon1; bind “MWHEELUP” weapon2; r_drawviewmodel 1;cl_crosshair_blue 255;cl_crosshair_file crosshair3;cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_scale 31″

bind “1” “weapon1”
bind “2” “weapon2”
bind “3” “weapon3”

alias “slot12” “activate”

alias “activate” “+reload; slot1;r_drawviewmodel 0;cl_crosshair_blue 255;cl_crosshair_file crosshair3;cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_scale 31;alias slot12 deactivate”

alias “deactivate” “-reload; slot2;r_drawviewmodel 0;cl_crosshair_blue 0;cl_crosshair_file crosshair7;cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_scale 31;alias slot12 activate”

bind “q” “slot12”

I’m not using it becuz someone else is u div. I’m using it so I can see more shit man!!!

i don’t use a viewmodel and aim just fine. don’t see the point of it on hitscan weapons where the shots are fired from the centre.

I’m not a scout, but I play a lot better with them off. I think it’s just the way some peoples brains work, I can’t focus on aiming if I have this big grey thing in the bottom right that moves around every time I click.

Some classes you need them on though, like heavy and sniper, as sometimes you’ll mash your weapon key after scoping or spinning down and your weapon won’t swap. Also as spy you need to see whether your cloak is up (mainly for dead ringer)

I think it feels better to play with the viewmodel off for most classes with scout i have my scattergun hidden and my pistol and melee drawn :)

since iv started playin scout ive been using no viewmodel. its significantly increased my aim, mainly becoz the gun/reload animation gets in the way. id advise u do the same nig :D
