Will NS2 be getting TrackIR support?
It would be cool if I could duck my head around corners and look around in game without pointing my gun in that direction.

you wouldn't happen to be referring to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw

As cool as it is, I don't think it's a core element NS2 should have. Make a LUA plugin that supports it and I'll totally use it. Once I shunt out the money for a remote and a bluetooth connection.

That would be awesome. I don't know how much extra work it would take to include though. I'm guessing a lot and not at the "lua" level.

apparantly its very easy to implement, but the trackIR costs soooooooooo much sad-fix.gif i had one for a while and its really fun, but i just can't see more than 10% of NS players having them.

I don't think the wii remote has enough buttons.

There are cheaper ways to do head tracking than TrackIR, like head tracking with a webcam, or head tracking with a wiimote. The price would probably come down if more games supported it.

@spellman23

That's a neat effect. I really just want to be able to use it with one of these though: http://headplay.com/

It had enough for Metroid. OK, it's crap for comms, but it has a trigger and nunchuck for WASD movement, etc.

There's of course some serious issues like how to actually move the screen to look in a different direction, etc.
