Noob question of the day: When you zoom in on the commander screen to the most detailed level how do you scroll/move the map to continue looking around in this view? Currently I'm zooming in, zooming out and repositioning the cursor, then zooming in... I just know I'm being a noob...

naw - u r not a noob - just still learning like the rest of us

you can use your WASD keys to slide the map around - this is good for small adjustments
or
you can reclick in the map with left click
or
go up and click in the little minimap on the top left of the commnander screen

So very correct. "Noobs" only exist in the minds of those that feel they need to insult others in order to feel better about themselves.

I never knew you could slide down ladders by holding the Shift (sprint) key. Comes in handy when you are getting shot going up or down a ladder.

IMO, noobs are different than newbies. Newbies are guys that are new to the game, arn't very good, and don't know how to exploit, or pad, or bunnyhop etc. So they play fairly, they get good after a while and arn't newbies anymore. Noobs, on the other hand, IMO are those bunnyhopping 203ing people that use every fair thing in the game, like uncappable spawn raping, or BH whoring etc. They are totally different to me, i respect newbies and their attempts to get better at the game. I show no respect for noobs at all, they ruin the game for everybody except fellow noobs.

How do you zoom in on sattelite?

You can also use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out.

Re: :Sad: What game feature didn't you know about until ...

There is one thing I don't know. When you're in commander view, fully zoomed in, and you move the view with the wasd keys, some yellow bars appear in the top right corner of the screen and one by one disappear after a few seconds.

Anyone got any idea what those are for?:hmm:

you can see the yellow bars in the top right corner..
they only appear when you move the view with the wasd keys, and will blink a bit and then disappear..
