poesel Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 You know, pushing the mouse to the screen edges to move the view - does anybody actually use that? Really, honest question. Because the only 'use' I had with that feature is that it has spoiled many a well composited screenshot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerMiller Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Well...I actually find myself using the screen-edge method when I'm wanting to quickly fly around the battlefield to look at basic info. But in all other situations where finer (read: any) control is necessary, I'm using keyboard/mouse combos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delliejonut Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I only use it in combination with the keyboard to go REAL FAST (cause 'murica) But most of the time I wish it wouldn't move my view. If you could toggle it on and off in the options menu I'd probably leave it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 LOL I guess I'm the outlier as that's my main method of navigation. I'll use the arrow keys for fine control when I want to check a questionable LOS or set up a screenshot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewood1 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I use the screen edge a lot...legacy from the original CM games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I use the screen edge movement method all the time. However I have screwed up the perfect screenshot many, many times because of it. I guess a toggle would be cool. Having choices is a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I "use" it every fraking day - yeah sarcasm. What happens to me is the screen will suddenly fly off in odd directions because I moved my mouse too close to the edge. I keep asking for this feature to be pulled but no joy so far... You know, pushing the mouse to the screen edges to move the view - does anybody actually use that? Yep, Steve himself does - so we have no hope 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baneman Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I use the screen edge a lot...legacy from the original CM games. Same here. I probably use it less since I learned the newer click-and-hold methods that BFC built into the mouse ( really useful ! ), but I will still "bump" the screen edges to move a bit. So wait, the man himself plays? Does he do PBEMs?

I am a happy user of the "click-and-hold" mouse method for most of my movement...both left-click to move laterally and right-click to rotate/up-down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I use it sometimes but this more often than not causes unwanted camera movement. VERY ANNOYING. It would be a great asset to the game if they made this optional. Also, it would be nice if they had an optional graphic the showed the dividing line between the Pan and Rotate portions of the edge of the screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Jack Ripper Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Whenever I'm recording videos, I use the keyboard as much as I can. When I'm playing without recording I use edge scroll with the mouse, it's faster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks for all the replies. Honestly I didn't think anyone would use that stupid feature but it looks like I'm wrong. But at least I'm not alone in the haters corner and I would also like to have the option to turn it off. Out of curiosity: could those that use it tell me if they mainly play Wego or RT? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umlaut Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I use it too, mainly for faster/less precise movement around the map. For finer movement, screenshots, videos etc I use the arrow keys. I always play wego. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
