BF2S Forums TrackIR and CoD4

I saw this when America's Army 2.8.2 came out and said they have "enhanced support" for this thing and thought "WTF is TrackIR". I looked it up and it seems pretty friggin' cool. It has, I believe, all axis's of motion, from lean in (which I would think to use for bringing up scope) to side-to-side (which I would also think to use to peak around corners), to looking up-down, left and right (can't find a use for this that'd be better than the mouse [except for that whole 1"-180degree thing mentioned above]). I'd try this out, but wouldn't buy it unless I played a lot of flight sims (maybe a good use in BF2 or 2142 would be mouse look in a Jet or Gunship). But in CoD4, you'd end up getting TNS (Taco Neck Syndrome [remember from the old Taco Bell commercial]) if you'd use this for leaning around corners.

Edit: Yeah, what Far said.

Another situation where it would kick ass is you can keep your crosshair on a target (say a doorway) while adjusting your view so that you can keep an eye on an alleyway on your left/right that would normally be out of view.

An example of my example.
$200 to do this alone isn't worth it but if you're a flight simmer TrackIR rocks.
Two shots I took in the Insurgency Mod for Source.

yeah but ins mod kinda sucks right now...IT will likely be good once they get everything set but still very much a wip.

At least show ArmA where a full dev team built it into the game.

here is a long video of it

TrackIR don't work in CoD 4 (tried it) - only instead of the mouse and it's diffecault aiming with Your head. Works in ArmA, flight games and racing games.
3D works ok though:

(3D like in Imax, Beowulf etc.)
Works in BF2 as well.
