Optifine Zoom in quakecraft

[DjaroGames]

Optifine is overpowered in quakecraft.I'll explain.

In optifine you zoom in a lot by pressing 'C' (If your FOV is at max (110 / Quake Pro) by pressing C it becomes 30, and if your FOV is at normal it becomes even smaller.)

Say I want to shoot that NPC in green leather armour over there

Almost impossible, right? From this distance it is so far away you can barely see it.
Now with zoom:

easy kill.

This is so overpowered. You basically get a sniper scope by pressing 'C'.
But where it gets really overpowered:

Normally it is strong at long distances but very bad at close range because it has this sway thing where it slowly gets faster and slower. But..
You see that 'toggle cinematic camera' button

If you rebind it to 'C' it will not have sway.

So tap 'C' every time you want to use it and now you have a functional sniper scope without the cinematic camera thing.

This allowed me to easily get killstreaks of over 15 in every map. You can't ban optifine because many people can't play the game without it. There is also no way to detect someone zooming since it is entirely client-side. There is no way to prevent this, and people who don't do it have a huge disadventage.

Actually, when you use your zoom, you have to be very concentrated to hit your opponent.
You can be shot while zooming because you have to stand still, so I don't think it's overpowered.
It's just a little nice feature to increase your fps and to zoom, that's it.

I guess there should be a new tip in the waiting lobby: Use Optifine!
Wouldn’t surprise me if there already is one though, as I don’t check tips all too often .

Good idea to add the download link to it!

I don't need the zoom button to kill someone. For some players It's a great tool, but like @RemiO05 said you can't see anything around you while zooming. If I see you standing still you're mine. In my opinion It's not overpowered.

Oof no. If it really does give an advantage it has to be banned. If it doesn't, there is no need for the tip.
I didn't try quakecraft with optifine, so I can't tell wether it is an advantage. But mods that do give an advantage should not be allowed.

I don't think this gives an advantage or is op at all, it might sound weird but I would almost call it a waste of time, especially in games like quakecraft

 

[Story]

When you are zoomed the mouse doesn't move strictly, it's highly accelerated so it's almost impossible to aim. It's got a huge disadvantage and quake is so fast paced that by time you've zoomed you're already dead, it's probably best to just shoot normally.

But i'm clicking fast on C to zoom and i get a kill

You can't even aim if you use the zoom for 1/2 seconds. And that's not his point. He means that your sensitivity goes down if you use the zoom feature, and it accelerates if you move your mouse fast.
He also means that using the zoom actually gives you a disadvantage, because quake is very fast paced and you don't even have the time to use the zoom. You are dead if you stand still for 2 seconds, that's quake craft.

some times to op

It's far from OP, because you will already be dead if you want to use the zoom button.

thats true. you can not fight if you ar zoomed in. but if your not in fight than it is sometimes to op

How is it too overpowered if you are not in a fight? :thinking:

 

[Jsnakebfksns]

you'r right it is not really op its just....

 

[Jsnakebfksns]

but on quakecraft it can be sometimes op for players but on they most games its not

If anything its a disadvantage on quake. The game is far too fast paced for optifine zooming and its just as accurate and easy to do it without the zooming. Its not op on quake and if anything its more op on other games.

How? On what maps? In the most maps there are many curves and buildings, so using the optifine zoom is actually just a disadvantage, because your sensitivity is being slowed down and you can't even have a normal fight while zooming in.
