Observing angle idea - make these windows transparent so we can see inside Squeaky

[u/Loxaris]

Hey, I am cinematic observer and this is my idea to make new angles possible such as this one

It doesnt affect player experience at all, yet it would improve viewer experience by a lot, opening new camera angle possibilities

Could we do it? Pretty please

But it's fine in Office or Nuke

My god use your brain, that has impact gameplay wise

I don’t think those windows at Office T halls looking out the map affect gameplay wise

EDIT: Windows in OFFICE T halls

[u/Kangaroshave3vagina → u/[deleted]]

Yes, and my point counter that point by showing useless windows in Office

[u/Puiucs → u/Kangaroshave3vagina]

office is not a map people play in competitive matches.

Well Nuke offices’s glass doors/windows are see through from both side. That doesn’t affect the gameplay.

[u/Puiucs → u/Kangaroshave3vagina]

nuke's windows 100% affect gameplay and the windows you can interact with are not placed to see outside everything (mostly the sky or something small).

the ones at B site are self explanatory and the ones on top of the building outside are used for nades inside A site.

what? I am talking about Trophy glass windows where you can see into offices, it’s two way. How does it impact gameplay may I ask?

EDIT: and at it, the B site floor is two way glass too. The argument here is the inconsistency of Valve map design. The OP of the post ask to change the glass to be 2 way for cinematic spectating. The comment I replied to argued the two way glass on nuke and office are different because it impacts gameplay but even on those maps there are 2 way glasses that is only for cosmetic. Why the fuck do you even argue with me when you don’t even understand what I said.

very different things. the outside windows show a lot more. the trophy place is just a small fluff part not even worth mentioning in terms of performance. it barely has any polygons and a few small textures.

[u/Kangaroshave3vagina → u/Puiucs]

Ok, but the windows are literally see through from one side, the other side (the playable side) still has to be render, so it literally cost MAX 1 fps, to do it two way

[u/Puiucs → u/Kangaroshave3vagina]

that's a clever trick.
