DA and F3 mode

[Ack-Ack]

hehehe S! Oldman, perhaps Ack-Ack's memory slipped him on that one. They introduced it at some point, I believe the same time as the new map with the lake. It never used to be that way.

Yeah, confused it with the CM God Eye mode.

i bet hitech has a CM eye mode with a gun loadout

DA is basically an advanced training arena that's why f3 is available.  If it bothers you that others use it, dpnt go there.

Neah.  It should stay. 

However, there should be a graphic showing a huge red flaming Eyeball like the one in the Lord of the Rings floating over the plane, turning this way and that, and a deep, dark thundering voice should come on for everyone in icon distance saying "XXXXXX has invoked "Phenomenal Cosmic Poooowwwweeerr!" followed by a lightning crack and a thunderous crash.

Or, on second thought, maybe not...

I'm pretty sure the Dueling Arena is an Arena for Dueling, not an advanced training arena. 

I don't like F3.

Remove it?

Why is it there in the first place? OP is right - there are crew in there that use it right up until they need gunsight reference. And most will freely admit to it if you pm and ask them. but there are those in the DA who only go to the DA and if they were to venture into the MA they would be handicapped by not only a lack of external views but also the inability to up perk rides.

if I'm time poor I'll go to the DA and if I don't feel like a full blown sweep I'll go and there's the obvious of improving (albeit trying to improve) your own skills.

But then if the use of F3 makes your opponent better by a factor of 2 it actually does you some good that they use it because you're duelling someone with better SA than you so it is good practice. The kill is harder to get and you rise to it.

So if you look at it in a way it's better for you not to use external views in the DA against those that do. It's those that use F3 that are suffering in the long term. So if there's a Tempest using external views, superior speed and a supersized Hispano package to BnZ his way to glory it's a challenge.

Problem is, everyone says "Hey, if you want fair fights, go to the DA!"  "Hey, if you want 1v1 fights, go to the DA!"

So you go to the DA, and find that it's basically an advanced training arena?

It is on to appease the ppl that came over from H2H. There was a huge group in there that couldn't fly without externals. That is why you don't see some of the more noted names in the DA in the MA, ever. They still can't fly without external.

That is the exact reason why it should be turned off.  Make them learn how to.

So they got F3 mode. BIG DEAL. How many arenas we have that don't have F3? Find one of those to have a duel in. If that's the way the H2H guys want to play, let em alone. They're paying 14.95 a month too....do they not?
There's too many arenas now for this to even be an issue IMO.





i can't believe i just sided with the rowdyrum phumpsters..or whatever they're called. 

[Yeager]

the DA is almost an entirely different game with a different community.  If it were up to me I'd leave well enough alone.  Never go in there anyway so no big deal to me.

I Say out with F3 mode all together it should only be available in the training arena or when you within 2K of the field for a help for some players to land   Like Me
