Demomen are overpowered? thanks

Reported to valve

BTW changing aspectratio shows up on in-eyes demo, so if i bound it higher to a key you’d see it change. But ive been using 2 for a long time anyway.

It takes a while to get used to the aiming but 2/3 gives you some fov at the expense of making things look smaller/further away. It’s a trade off IMO it should be something you can only change by restarting the game to prevent having it bound to a key in game – but people should be able to choose their own permanent fov because ffs 90 fov feels like total shit (unless you come from CS) it’s like being partially zoomed in all the time.

I was pleased to hear about this setting because 2 feels perfect but yeah changing it in-game to something ridiculous that you could never play with, but just to have a gazelle-fov for a few seconds should not be allowed – it should be one of those settings you can’t change when connected to a server (a bit like the max_fps setting, try to change it in game you get an exception) but not kill it entirely because it’s essentially a trade-off between fov and the size of stuff on screen in pre-CS games that trade-of was accepted some preferred 120 fov some preferred 90, no big deal not everyone wants 90 :/

Forget the command – look at F2’s awesome Scatter gun skin :>

r_aspectratio 1000 == AWESOMENESS.

and nah, shouldnt be “ok”.

As long as it’s in the game and it’s not making the game unplayable or unbalanced, it should definitely be allowed.

How so? It’s been around forever, I’m sure they’ve been aware of it for a long time.

Bash, if they would have been aware of it, I guess they would have fixed it. There are many cvar exploits that are discovered long time after the game is released and they just get fixed now.
The VALVe developer answered my email and told me that they’ll look into it on Monday.

I quite like r_aspectratio 2, though 3 is a bit extreme. I expect as it’s limited in other games a patch for TF2 will be along shortly…
