I agree with shadow its all a "good sportsman thing" I have seen what a wheel can do especially for guns like the g3.. I know some people use it religiously.. they know who they are.. But to my knowledge you cant check for that type of thing.

While i suppose it is not considered a hack, i have indeed been told i was using this method of firing. I must admit i did not know initially what the person meant, they just said "scroll bind" to me.

I personally don't care whether people use their scroll wheel to fire, the only difference I see between binding +attack to the scroll wheel or the F8 key is that the scroll wheel makes a bit more sense.

if i may add my 2 cents on this subject.... useing a scroll wheel for fireing is cheap but not cheating.... my personal feelings... people that scroll wheel are just cheap and need to do it in order to get kills... but then again... i have a G5 mouse.. and i can click almost as fast as a scroll wheel.... so its all on the user.... u just gotta grit ur teeth and deal with it.. you will always have people doing stuff like that.. weather it be modding their actuall config files... or just changing keys around.

Can some who knows how to do this make 2 xfire videos, use the same weapon, one video with the scroll wheel and one without so we can see how big the difference is. Without the scroll wheel you have to shoot as fast as you can so we can get a true idea on how big of a difference it is. Also do this on a stock server like freezetag.

NP Kev.... I tried my best to fire steady and fast ( I admit also I'm not good at using a scroll wheel).... so have others step up to the plate and give it a whirl.

This is kind of similer to Crysis and Crysis Wars - a player can bind a button to perform a double or triple melee (or any other number) causing alot of damage and instant death to an opponent. My opinion is that its the minority that does it and if the game developer didnt want players to do this then they would have blocked the ability to change binds on certain actions or blocked the scroll wheel for the fire action. As with most things alot of people here will have different views on this sort of playing, but in the end i think its best to stay Stock and leave it as is - This applies to all games.

I thought you could set up punkbuster to boot for scroll firing, least it used to be that way.

Some servers do have PB set to kinck for scroll firing. Some choose to allow it. I have better things to do with my scroll wheel like change weapon and knife.

It's sort of like poker at a friends house....... House rules apply.

im against it. most single fire weapons are incredibly strong therefore creating an unbalance in the weapons. Plus wheel binding reduces the recoil you fire all the shots in the same place. i tested it a while back on a wall. also im against it cuz in every tactical server (my all time favorite servers to be in other than ftag) its illegal

fireurza, thanks for bringing this post up again, a lots of us didn't know you could do this. Sounds like a good  idea now I have to figure out how to do it.

 

Thank You Again

Some of us played in a tourney put on by G13 awhile back and their mod had the G3's and M14's fully auto. It doesn't really bother me, like JacknCoke said with a gaming mouse you can fire pretty fast. Seems to me back in the Viet Nam era some of the M14's had a selective fire switch and would fire full auto. If G3's were so hot then I think everyone would be using them but we have people doing well with all types of weapons.
