Points of Interest

[Quicksilver]

I know that you can hit Y to view a point of interest, but what if you're not paying attention and you miss something? Can you set the game so that it auto-views every point of interest?

well, i doubt that, because last year at E3 they had it like that where they zoomed in on a gastank. EPIC thinks its take away ur focus on the fight u are in, or whats going on around u, and thats why they added the point of interest.:) i think that even if u dont hit 'Y' when it says u can, or u arent paying attention, that u will be able to look at whatever happened in "free-look" when ur not aiming. also, not EVERY point of interest that pops up will be something that u need to see, thats why its an option.:cool:

When something is going on that you might want to know about there will be an indicator at the bottom of the screen saying to press Y. It gives you about a second or two to press it before you miss anything. I don't think you can set the option of it automatically pointing to where you should be looking though.

My question is that did they set up every sequence to make sure if your looking at it, you won't be killed by Locusts? I don't want to be in the middle of a firefight and see that Y indicator pop up so I have to choose between seeing some stuff blown up or something or finishing off the locusts.

if you notice the "eye"-con and u hit Y u see something kinda cool/intereseting, if you miss it, then its not that big of a deal.....

I also, like the fact that it is a way to see where Dom and other teamates are. Sometimes its a real pain to have to constantly watch over the AI and make sure they are not getting Flanked. The point of interest button makes keeping track of AI alot easier (though you wont be babysitting the AI by anymeans)

and i heard that if u presss the LB(hold+a, b, x, y for command) u can also check ur objectives/squad....

Yeah, that's what I heard too.

i think that the point of intrests will be meant for big cinematic moments. The Y indicator will come up, and if you press it, the game basically stops. like for example, in the e3 demo, they press y to see the chopper hit the building. While in that cinematic viewing mode, no locusts will start shooting at you. But if he didnt press Y, i think that the locusts would have came out, and the game would go on.

Confusing, sorry:)
