Was playing around the other night with different weapons and had left on fps in console from map testing. I learned someting by standing in area of a map with bad FPS

While using the sniper rifle zoomed in FPS increased alot almost double. I assumed this is becuase my pc did not have to draw my weapon, arms and hands and the black area surrounding the zoomed in scope.

With Bazooka I lost FPS, not much though.

With Rifle,Shotgun, MG, STG, Bar, no FPS gain or loss.

With Pistol, I gain a litle FPS.


Just something I though of interest. Perhaps my next map will have to be a sniper haven...lol

When you zoom in, your fov is considerably decreased and thereby the amount of your map that has to be drawn.

All weapons consist of about 1000 triangles.
