Post subject:  Aiming in multiplayer

Is anyone else have problems doing sharp aims using the mouse and keyboard setup when playing any kinda multiplayer (2 player, 3 player etc)?

what happens is my character would zoom in for 2 or 3 seconds and it would return back to non-sharp aim mode.....after that i would not be able to zoom anymore :P

btw..im currently running my cc at 1280 by 800....would the resolution be the reason for this bug?

if anyone has a solution (besides telling me to use a gamepad), plz help out....thx

If you're both using the same keyboard, the problem could be that your keyboard can't handle the number of inputs you're both making. Between the two of you, you're probably pressing about six keys at once, and holding them, which a keyboard can't make sense out of.

I have the same issue when playing multiplayer.

With keyboard + mouse, sharp mode is initiated by moving the mouse out where you want to aim and keeping your actor steady. Pressing the key won't always work if the mouse is "near" the center of the actor. So, try "pulling" the sharp crosshair out of the actor by moving the mouse towards the edge of the screen, where you want to fire.

Hehe, reminds me of playing super smash bros on a n64 emulator with 3 guys on one keyboard. So that was like over 20 buttons in total with some of them all the time held down. That keyboard never knew what the hell was happening to it.

I have this problem. My super-cheap default microsoft keyboard can't handle much, and it lets off a beep to let you know that you're pressing WAY too many buttons for it.
the beep usually signals your imminent death in most games: diagonally strafing in counterstrike often ends very very badly, and attacking while jetpacking in CC usually results in an emergency landing. On to a bullet.
I want a new keyboard...
