3D Extreme Zoom-Out Mode? - berto - 07-29-2013 [echoing a post at the Matrix Forum:] Does anybody make serious use of 3D Extreme Zoom-Out mode? I am referring to the graphics mode that results when you hit the '3' key. (Yes, yes, we are aware that many players -- myself included -- would like to see a new, larger, zoomed-in 2D mode. The question here concerns the tiny, extreme zoomed-out 3D mode only.) Would it anger anybody if we drop the game's 3D Extreme Zoom-Out mode? Looking maybe to lighten our graphics development load here. If we have one less 3D mode to worry about, there's more TLC we can give the other two -- normal (Keyboard 1) and Zoom-Out (Keyboard 2) -- 3D modes. At this point, no plans, just asking.

RE: 3D Extreme Zoom-Out Mode? - kernel t - 07-30-2013 I use it in large scenaros to find HQs and orgs.Its not a big deal if it is gone. RE: 3D Extreme Zoom-Out Mode? - Scud - 07-30-2013 I, too, use it with larger scenarios, mostly for that initial perusal before starting my first move. Not a big deal to me if it went away. Larger HD monitors limit the need anyway. Dave RE: 3D Extreme Zoom-Out Mode? - berto - 07-30-2013 [echoing a post at the Matrix Forum:] Assume we retain:
Now assume we slot just one more graphics mode. Next question: Between these next two, either/or only (assume you can't have both)
which of those two would you prefer, find most useful? Again: At this point, no plans, just asking. RE: 3D Extreme Zoom-Out Mode? - Pax25 - 07-30-2013 I use it a lot when looking at the range of HQs and seeing which of my units are within that range. RE: 3D Extreme Zoom-Out Mode? - Nort - 07-30-2013 That is the reason I use it as well. RE: 3D Extreme Zoom-Out Mode? - Big Ivan - 07-30-2013 Berto I echo Scud's sentiments. I use it for the initial lay of the land in larger scenarios at the beginning. If anything I'd like the extreme 2D zoom out gone; key (5), I hardly every use it. However, the idea of a zoom in 2D is good but I will say that I almost exclusively play CS in 3D. Thanks ItB RE: 3D Extreme Zoom-Out Mode? - berto - 07-30-2013 We're all so different. I play exclusively 3D, because I find the 2D modes so uncomfortably small/tiny. With a new zoomed-in 2D (larger units & hexes), I'd begin playing 2D (while continuing to use 3D alongside, switching back and forth depending on current game phase and activity). I have no use for Extreme Zoomed-Out 3D or Zoomed-Out 2D. Unattractively tiny!
