I've read a few posts that said they couldn't get the zoom script to work.
Knowing that I've run it before and was not all that impressed, I decided to do
a review on it. My first impression of the zoom script was, "Uh oh, the
wall hack is back". However after more testing, I've discovered it's more
of a burden then a help.
When you setup the zoom script, you simply change the binds to whatever key
you want, make sure the .cfg file is in your cstrike directory and that's it.
When you enter a server, you type exec zoomscript.cfg. You will be knocked
out of the current game, then immediately return to it, but when you re-spawn,
you're in 3rd person. The view is just above your head and often times you get
in the way of yourself.
While in zoomed mode, I felt like I was gliding more than usual. It's very
easy to loose your bearings on where you are actually standing versus where you
think you are. You might find yourself unable to move, then unzoom and find
yourself in a hallway you didn't know you had entered.
Picture 1 is a pic of me getting in the way of myself while strafing left to
right.
Picture 2 is a pic of the standard, standing still shot.
Picture 3 is the zoom with an mp5 in hand. You'll notice the zoom isn't that
big of a deal.
A shot I'm not showing, but will describe, is where you walk up to a wall and
you can see a lot of the map, if not all of it. However this is deceiving
because you don't necessarily see the enemies, unless they happen to cross a
texture the right way, then you may have a second or two to blast them through
the wall, providing you have a weapon capable.
Pros: |
Cons: |
| - Does in fact zoom your
view a little and could help you in certain circumstances
- You have the ability to see through thin walls and
often times see your opponent
|
- You tend to get in your
way when strafing left to right out of zoom
- In zoom, if you try to navigate the map, chances are
you'll find yourself bumping up against and object a few times
- Any close quarters battles are bad, zoomed or not
|
The Bottom Line:
If you try this script, you may find it's to your liking, if managed well. I
personally wouldn't recommend this to anyone as a must have. It's buggy and
degrades standard game play. It's not a large download, weighing in at < 2KB.
