Thread: Switching hands

  1. #1
    I always hated the way that you had a real disadvantage when peeking round trees and houses on the wrong side, think its a right corner. As you have to expose more of your body than when you look around a left corner. So if you could switch to your left hand and essentially fire round a corner without exposing all of your body, that would be great. Only allow it on certain guns, not some Bullpups (not P90 or FN2000) or weapons that dont have an effective brass deflector. Maybe putting somet like this in the config

    M16A2
    hands="left","right";

    Steyr AUG
    hands="right";

    I dont think there should be any penalty for using one hand over another as most people can shoot just as well left handed as they can right handed. It would suit llefties in real life more too, like counter-strike did, oops forgot it was an offence to mention that game.

    And no I am not left handed.

    Hey yeah, I'm a lefty also,

    but this reminds me, switching hands together with peaking around corners... peek left/right, this is yet another must.

    IMO there should be a hot key designation for peaking and changing shoulders

    Absolutely. Hotkey or combo no other way.

    I just think that switch hands and peek would be a great combo for CQB and dense woodland fighting. Maybe even a roll when laying prone like DF BHD. Imagine how good it would look if the AI used it too, peeking round a corner and switching hands to fire.

    what would you do if you had a Bullpub Weapon Like the AUG(know it wasent around at the time) It has to points where the rounds can get out you just have to make a little modification.

    look at my first post and read it properly. Limit what hands the weapon can be used in.

    People aren&#39;t taught to switch hands anymore. There are ways to peak left with a weapon in your right hand and not expsose yourself. During the hi stress environment shooting with your off hand isn&#39;t the best idea
