Title: Ability to aim out of sight
Post by: Picklish on January 26, 2008, 10:25

Currently, when aiming, the target is limited to your field of view.  This makes it incredibly tough to shoot at anything that doesn't line up perfectly in one of the eight cardinal directions.  There's already a to-hit penalty for shooting those things and it seems reasonable to me that I should be able to aim at them more easily.

Also, being able to tab-select barrels when firing would be nice too.

It used to be different in the old version. Not sure why Kornel changed it. I too preferred the old method.

IIRC it has to do with old way causing many problems code-wise.

Ehh... not a huge fan of that one. It’s quite often that I get stuck in a frenzy of pressing “f” and if the game auto-selects a barrel... well I’m sure you can guess what would happen :(
