DeutschRitter Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I bought Shock Force today and everything runs fine and smooth. But the camera control is horrible! When I want to move the camere left, pressing "A", it moves so clumsy. It makes me angry how the camera takes his time to move on! Is there a way to boost the camera moving? With the mouse the camera moves faster but it is so exhausting. In Theatre of War the camera speed is perfect. And I also like in TOW that you switch the Angle by pulling the middle mouse button. Is there a way to do it in Shock Force too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piecekeeper Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The camera is very different in CMSF compared to other games but ill promise you will get use to it after a while. I was also skeptic in the beginning but now i like it a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoex Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I always found the keyboard controls in CMx1 too slow, though it was nice to have three levels of speed for camera movement (keyboard, mouse on screen edge, and the buttons in the UI). In CMSF we only have two speeds, and it took me a little getting used to, but I'm doing fine now and I'm convinced you will too, DeutschRitter. Anyway, in CMSF I find I have to look at things more closely than in CMx1, so I've found I have to move the camera around more and differently than I used to, and the new way of doing it corresponds to that need, I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Every old CMx1 player I've known started out using the CMSF keyboard controls and immediately 'hated the game'. They soon try the mouse movements, get a little practice in, then conclude its the 'best game ever'. Me, I had totally forgot there were still keyboard camera controls! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoex Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 In case you haven't done so yet, DeutschRitter, check page 18 in the manual for all the camera movement options and play around with them in-game to see what works for you... The zoom function is an absolute favourite of mine as well as the wide angle camera mode for that extra bit of overview...there's a lot of things you can do in CMSF to see what's going on around the battlefield WITHOUT having to change the camera position at all, which I greatly appreciate because it speeds things up when I don't repeatedly have to look for that "sweet spot" where I can see all my important units at the same time. Rotate camera, zoom in, see what's going on over in that corner in great detail, maybe give some orders, zoom out, rotate back - works in a few seconds and the camera stays in my sweet spot all the time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
