[quote="Cantona 7":9b6fe]Miscguy what the fucks wrong wit me transparent weapons??? u can only see it if u download it anyway and if you do dont u think not being able to see weapons as much is going to be a disadvantage to the user?? plain and simple if u dont like it, dont download it.[/quote:9b6fe]

The problem with transparent weapons is that you have nothing blocking your field of vison. So say with a panzersheck that huge plate on the front is non exsistant. The lower corner of the screen is seen now not blocked by a weapon increasing your field of view.

At the time of posting i was unaware that you could turn off weapon models all together. Now knowing that information transparent weapons are not as big of a cheat but i still wouldnt consider them un-lame. If you want to have weapon models you should pay the price of having the blocked view. If you do not want weapon models for frame rate reasons or other then fine. Perhaps you've hit on a medium of having weapon models without the disadvantages, rather than simply turning the models off. But doesnt that sound wrong to anyone else? Having an element without any of that elements disadvantages.
