Run! Hide! It's a Mercenary!

I already countered your counter.  You'll see.

I think the real arguement would lie into that does aiming with the left improve accuracy ? , If yes then ya i can see this as a benefit. IF No then there is no need =/.

It helps the orientation of left handed players.

The gun is shown in the 'lobbing a grenade' animation, which indeed takes up quite some space. And it still needs to be tweaked a lot.

The gun looks like it's in the normal position in a couple drawings...still needs to move over to the right a bit. It actually obscures the bottom-right quarter of the flashlight circle (which may be a bit too small, but we'll see) as-is.

Why does it need to be moved to the right?
here is an example it' s almost in the mid here

I think on our screenshot it seems to take much place on the screen because of the scope

the whole thing is just way too fat and too close to the center of the screen.

Well it's not like it's a huge deal it's just more of a preference thing.  It's not that bad at all but we'd prefer it to be to the right because it's more like CT's style for one thing.  The place it's in right now isn't a terrible spot I'm just politely suggesting that it be moved a bit more to the right and that seems to be the general consensus so far.

Don't play in widescreen and it will be on the right.

Problem solved.

;D

Nah, I agree, but I'm not the one who positioned it, I just placed it where certain teammembers wanted it to be placed. IMO you see too much of the butt of the weapon, making the front obscure the center of the screen too much.

[Farley4Fan]

I've always thought it looks a bit goofy when placed in the center because I don't carry a gun like that.  The butt of my rifle always sits directly in my right shoulder, not in my chest.  If I'm standing straight, my torso is twisted towards the gun (to the right) making the gun go further to the right in my view.  Also, my face goes closer to the top-left side of the gun -making it impossible to see any part of the right side of the gun.

Maybe it just looks a bit weird to me because I hold my gun a certain way but then again it's the standard way of holding rifles.  But it's not like I can't deal with the gun being a bit more to the left in a video game, obviously.   :D

If you could see perfectly through your peripherals, it would be close to the center. ;)

So maybe the real issue is that the gun is too "long" and extends too far into the center of the screen rather than being too far left.

The reason we have an issue with it is because, unlike other action FPS games, the more viewing area you have as merc, the better off you are.

Have you held a rifle? ???

The only way it's closer to the center is if I'm firing from the hip - and I don't recommend that.  Doubt a group of mercs would either (see Argus).  Rambo might (Stallone, not Gawain)...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZi_kDkOjIQ - the gun would cover up the bottom-right side of his peripheral vision (like CT/PT/DA)

http://www.myspaceclipart.com/images/popculturefifteen.gif here's another correct stance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peZoF9tOAjs - this would be the result of firing with the butt stuck in your chest (kinky?) and would give the result of peripheral vision in the area that you seek.  He was actually holding the rifle correctly, but this was just a funny vid that I had to share.  "WILLY BOB!"

Just a tiny pet peeve of mine.  This personally would not be an area I'd choose to draw inspiration from COD.

Btw, you totally got me when you edited the post.  You sly dog.
