Can we increase the viewing distance more?

[F-1]

Is it possible to increase the viewing distance in the game more than the so called "100%" maximum in the video settings?

I tried to edit the .con files and see if higher manual settings might do anything, but no luck so far.

My point is that I have fast enough hardware and I am maximizing all of the video and sound settings. I am getting a very good framerate, probably more than what I actualy need. I have an LCD and going beyond 60fps is just pointless. It will probably be more useful if I get lower fps while getting a further viewing distance.

Sometimes while moving you suddenly see something that you cannot even see a trace of it if you go few meters back. It is not that you will just get more fog if you have larger viewing distance. I am sure it will be very helpful for jets and snipers for example (although I rarely play any of those!) It will just be very nice if you can get the most out of your system.

Yes, but it would be cheeting. Why, because it would give you an unfair advantage to thoes on a lower spec machine.

it wont be cheating!

many people are already playing with viewing distances below the maximum 100% setting... while others are playing with the settings maxed.

if you know how to do that then please let us know.

Out-systeming someone is not cheating.

Trying to change things similar to wanting a no-fog hack is another thing.

Play with your settings and buy better gear (monitors, vid-cards, gamepads, etc.) but that's where the line stops.

Some people only have a better system going for them.

It wouldn't be cheating at all... and a very little know fact, the drawdistance in the source engine atleast 2x farther then the crappy bf2 engine. THE BF2 ENGINE BLOWS

Re: Can we increase the viewing distance more?

it is cheating, because you're messing about with the game trying to get it to do something it wasnt made to do ... to get an advantage over other players.

Why bring the source engine into this? got nowt to do with it

I am not sure I understand what you mean. Would you please explain more for me?

i have noticed when i play things seem to blink out of sight before they really should. i checked my distance its set for 100%. the other day some guy was lighting me up from across the way and i could not even see him, but he could obviously see me... my only chance was to aim for where the flashes were and hope to get a a hit

That guy must be shooting at your name's tag! I do that a lot and it works. One time in Karkand I was playing MEC and the US took the MEC main spawn. our squas was trying to cross the bridge. it is usualy very dusty on the other side and you cannot see until you are almost in the middle of the bridge. I took antitank and zoomed in with the rocket. started to scan the area. whenever a red tag flashes... just hit and guide the rocket toward the name. works like a charm! you just need nice fingers and mouse.
