Um isn't snipers suppose to be sneaky and hide. I mean what good is a sniper out in the middle or plain view. He wouldn't be a sniper then.

No Sully you idiot, the sniper is the one with the spanner and nail gun.

Yeh, those dang d3d snipers that camp in the well and in the rock2 water because the 'water fog that the creater put in and turning it off is a cheat' isn't there in video modes other than open gl, so they get perfect line of sight on you and you can't see them at all. BUT OMFG IF YOU BALANCE THE GAME PLAY THEN IT WON'T BE FAIR FOR D3D PLAYERS!

I bet the person that posted that on planet fortress uses d3d and does water snipe.

woh I feel like a Noob, I didn't know that you could do this turning the fog of water off thingy. I am going to rush home after work and try that out.

Just kidding, I am not a lamer. If that is what they are doing then that is kind of lame. I think it is kind of a gray area and it would have to be decided by whoever operates a server to decide to allow that, other wise if it is an option of TFC settings the I don't have to much to say about it.

I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear in my last post. You cannot so much as turn off your fogging with D3D. It comes without fogging out of the box. With OpenGL you can turn off fogging using 3rd party software (Nemisis).

So D3D people can see us OpenGL people underwater and we can't see them. Fun fun.

Ah I got you now, then that is totally lame. To me using something outside the game to inhance your game play is total lame.

i dont entirely understand the whole openGL and D3D setting crap, but if you guys are gonna complain about the people using D3D, then why not use it yourself and kill them underwater before they kill you. Dont get me wrong, i use D3D, but i think that whole underwater sniping thing is lame as hell and im glad that i can see them when i go underwater. As far as im concerned, if my vid card allows me to use it and TFC has it as an option on their main menu then im gonna continue to use it. If that makes me lame, then so be it...im simply setting my game up so i can have the most fun and play the game! I may not like people that underwater snipe, but if i get killed by one, so be it. i'll simply respawn and figure out a way to kill him next time. bitching just shouldn't be an issue.

*leaves two cents in jar by the door*
(for the record, im not trying to upset people, just defending what little gameplay i have.

Underwater sniping has been a big problem on Vidars2 as well....it's pissed me off before (esp. if they are a good sniper...lol)

clearly u can tell by my name i'm a snipa i've never noticed that u can't see in water for me its just a little bit blurry not much the i can make out friend or foes and usually there class i use opengl so i dunno what yallr complaining about besides water passeges r tatically very usefull to the oposing team so just letting people use ur tunnels is sorta stupid now i don't underground snipe i snipe above ground but i feel that mayb more hwguys and snipers should camp in tunnels even if it cheap killz its also stoping ur enemy from getting ur flag especially in well

so if u get sniped under water it wont be me i'll b above the ground #Sniper

o thx -- i could do with the money -- lol

and its the same with me -- i've always been able to see under water -- n i havent turned any water fog off -- its not as clear as above water but i cant see -- n i always make sure underwater tunnels r clear -- n i often use under water tunnels as an entrance to a base -- but i cant see ppl that r out of the water when im under water -- i cant see through the waters surface -- but i can see through the water when im submerged in it
