I agree with what was written here-- at first look it would appear that
an off-center weapon will interfere with certain gameplay features, and
make aiming difficult (until one accommodates).  Still, it does look
cool, but I hope that a center weapon is still an option.

Well, when I play Quake, I have FOV set to 110 and NO weapon is showing, =
but I have crosshair turned on. The accuracy of the fire relative to the =
crosshair is much better when FOV is higher than 90 with or w/o a weapon =
shown onscreen. So you really don't need the weapon in front of you or =
there at all, actually. Just turn on the crosshair and turn up FOV.

This never bothered me in games like Duke3d, as long as I can turn on
a cross hair. You need the cross hair anyway, especially for aiming
up. I think the side screen weapons are meant to give a better view of
what's in front. However, they should try to keep the weapon size
small just for peripheral visions sake.
