why are we even discussing this

lol

“Maybe you just gotta l2p and move your mouse faster then. Anyway, it’s pointless to get in the details. The impact of r_aspectratio doesn’t make the game pointless to play for scouts, even if it gives a slight disadvantage.

Even if scouts would be rendered useless (which it totally doesn’t, you’ll never convince me on that), the game would still be there. Look at half of the classes in 6vs6 TF2 anyway: Sniper, Engineer, Spy, Pyro are all more or less special situation classes, depending on the map.

Purists, losers and whiners (I myself consider them to be one group ;) want to ban everything in the game they don’t like, especially if something changes. That’s because to them, change is SCARY!! Other people will adjust their own play and see where the game takes them. If r_aspectratio will cause significant flaws in the gameplay in the way that the game as a whole becomes dull and/or noncompetitive, then of course it will be banned.

Why in your opinion was the game so much better before people noticed this command? I see currently no serious impact on the game by r_aspectratio and I still refuse to believe that any big change will occur in the class balance because of it.”

Read my posts.

Oh yes I did say about how I HAVE NO OPINION ON THIS SO I’LL PUT DOWN BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENT

:D

I come from Q3 where alot is allowed in the config.
I must agree that in TF2 it’s a different thing because of the classes you have. Not every class would gain the same advantage from a fov increase. Demo, Soldiers, Medics the most – Scout/Sniper not much at all for Scout its rather a disadvantage.
On the other hand, why not? Sensitivity is allowed too – with an ultra high sensitivity you basically have a 360° view – aiming gets harder but well, that also applies for higher fov. With a super low sensitivity you aim alot better but you need an extra armlength just to turn 180°.

Edit: I just read in another comment here that rocket jump scripts are allowed. This however is ridiculous and should be banned right away. If you can’t rocket jump you can’t and no script should be allowed to fix that for you. You can lose games from a failed rocket jump and that should also count. If you weren’t able to do the rocket jump in that crucial moment – well so it is. Penalties in football also have to be shot every time and no one can come and say: come on, everyone knows I will score – can’t we just skip it and give us the score already?
Wow really, how someone can defend scripts but wants aspectratio banned is far beyond me.
Btw, aimbots are basically also only “scripts” that do what you also already can do. Just flawless.

I think, r_aspectratio 2 should be allowed. The rest should be limited, since I heard about this i havent stopped playing with it since its easier to play, well, everything i guess.
So I personally dont think this should be “Banned” if its only on 2, maybe 3+ should be limited?
