Summary0013266: A little more zoom out?
DescriptionNot a whole lot more, having the old battlefield encompassing level of zoom would be a bit weird now.

I think it would be nice to have the option of zooming out far enough enough to see a little somewhat beyond primary weapons range at 1024x768 without it getting clipped by the bottom HUD.

I'm pretty sure most people have monitors a lot bigger than that now, but it would be so you can comfortably play in a window if you want to

This is something I need to make resolution-dependent, I think. I think the zoom is really quite perfect at 1800x900, which is what I typically play at (windowed), but I very much see your point at 1024x768 -- that wouldn't be sufficient at all!

Thanks!

* The maximum amount you can zoom out now scales with the screen resolution, so that each screen resolution can (roughly) see the same amount of gameplay area as the others. Non-widescreen still does have some disadvantage, but not much.
