You have seen the screenshots I have posted here in The Cage. How did I get those angles? And there is no HUD, whats up with that!

Well, in this (short) special feature, I will explain how I got those shots.

Now, the basics. You must use the developers console (accessed using the tilde or ~ key), and type in a command line to change the value.

So, how do you go about removing the HUD?
Open the dev console.
Type in: cg_drawHUD 0. 0 meaning false, and disabling it. To reverse this effect, simply type in cg_drawHUD 1. 1 meaning true.

So you removed the hud. Thats great, but you may still have special 2D elements (such as a gasmask) in the way.
Type in: cg_draw2D 0. This will also remove your HUD, but if you want the 2D element in there for effect, use the HUD command.

And finally, this ones a doozy.
To get the angles shown in my screenshots.
Type in: seta thereisacow 1337. Strange command huh?
Now, type in noclip. Fly about the map!

From that point on, it is your own creativity. It is just like taking a screenshot in Flight Simulator.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the tips. I will try this out soon.

Not quite J. These commands or similar commands, will only work for games running a specific engine, I believe in this case, the Quake III engine. Try it in BF2, it won't work. 

I just started playing this.  This game rocks in so many ways, it's not even funny.  Puts C/S and Half Life to shame...

I don't see why not.  H/L2 is the standard by which games are being measured, is it not?

BTW, the AC130 gunship portion of the pageant is simply awesome.  Especially when you drop a 125mm round right into the middle of a bunch of bad guys and see them go flying everywhere...
