Zoom Out In Commander View...

Grunt2002

<div class="IPBDescription">Is there a way?</div> Just a quick question -

I don't normally play commander, only in emergency situations. But whenever I hop into the comm chair, the default overhead view is way too close, I can't move the dang map around fast enough to do anything really useful. Is there a way to zoom out the overhead view? I've tried using the keys that are bound to the "+moveup" and "+movedown" commands, but they don't work. I've searched the manual, and there's nothing there. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

no way to change it. it is set in the map itself...

Some maps have really high overheads, and others really low, depending on where you are looking at, the map isn't always really close.

If your having trouble moving around quick enough, just use the minimap you just clickwhere you want and it automatically places you there.

reason why you cant zoom out is also b/c you will start hitting amusing things, like the ready room ;D

A) Like stated, use the mini-map to get around quick. B) Press your 'Jump' key to jump to notifications ("Soldier nees order/ammo/medpack", "Sentry firing", etc...)

hes prolly talking about the annoying crap that happens on some maps, like the hallway right outside of the Generator Hive, there is a massive pipe above that hallway, and you cant see it from top down, the first time I played that map as a COMM I placed a sige ontop of the pipe not knowing it was there, being too far away and not seeing structures directly below you on a map is a drag

"Invalid Order" drives me insane
