Somewhat "inspired" by this thread: Allowing removed view-models I'm wondering how it's looking out there. Do you play with viewmodels on or off?

    I think it's worth mentioning the FOV settings in conjunction with view model settings. So:

    Aliens FOV = MAX
    Marines FOV = 6

    Alien models disabled. I got 100000x better and now I'm the best. True story.

    I give a try sometimes by hiding my Marines view models, sometimes...

    I haven't voted yet since I'm undecided. I used to play with the viewmodels on, but I have recently switched to hide them. I don't really like it and I'm just forcing myself to try it since it might be a force-of-habit thing.

    I play with models enabled for both sides and max FoV for both.

    OFF the new "x-factor" before f2p :) Would be fine if I have time to adapt or interest to play

    I recently got the rifle jam bug while playing without viewmodels. That sucked. . .

    Sucks just as much with the viewmodels on.

    Max FOV on both sides.

    Fov 3, only started playing with them disabled and it has helped a little with them off.

    Max FOV, i disabled both because it feels more like playing a different game. But then i realised that it would be just so much simpler to not play NS.

    I play with full view models because I'm not a monster.

    All.
    I like immersion. Im the guy running competitive with max infestation, ambient sounds and effects, and part of me suffers a bit if I have to disable a shiny for performance reasons or because gamewise it became to mad to continue. (Im looking at youuuu atmospherics)

    Also why would I invest all that time in making purple view weapons, cause ya know purple is awesome, and then disable them?

    I used low FOV on my 15" and have to max it on my 27" or I can't focus on enough of the screen.

    I wasn't even aware we could disable our gun models and alien models

    It's a part of NS2+. However, the server has to allow it (which it doesn't by default).
