cg_zoomScaling

Controls zoom transition: off snaps instantly (no animation delay); on smooths gradually. Snap minimizes disorientation in fights; smooth feels natural but adds brief blur—pros often disable for immediate clarity.

Pro Tip

Turning this OFF lets you pre-zoom before peeking corners (no animation delay) — a movement trick used in 90 % of high-level strafe-jump maps to rail enemies the instant they appear.
