Commander View

Jimlad

It may be just me, as I haven't heard many other players mention this, but isn't the commander view a bit too low as it is? As an RTS fan, I like to be able to comfortably zoom to a level where I can see a reasonably large portion of the battlefield, but with the size of the NS maps and the amount you have to do as a commander, it helps if you aren't scrolling about like a madman just trying to see/select the things you need to. For me, it can get pretty frustrating, and is one of the things that really discourages me from commanding. Being able to see more as the commander is pretty important I think, and means you can get a better idea of what's going on in any given area. I understand that sometimes this might sacrifice graphics quality or performance, but I'd much rather this than being zoomed in so much. Other players may have gotten used to this or simply don't notice, but personally I can't stand it. Can't there be some option to change the commander height? Or even better, zoom in/out controls?

Being able to jump to squads should help with this TBH.

This is built into the maps, not into NS. I presume a zoom in/out function would really cause problems for r_speeds and so on.
