I agree with this 3rd person should not return for corner camping etc.. for me it was irritating in ps1 i was force to use it since everybody was using it but for me it feel cheap and bad .. Iam glad they have make the decision to make the game based on 1rst person skills For caracter but also for vehicules with cockpit force and no way to aim and figth while in 3rd person

Thank you for pointing that out. I guess that will means I need to set a mouse button for switching between these views (if the game allows that..)

3rd person was great for driving tanks or any other ground vehicles,or auto running across the cont,to make sure cloakers were not behind you

Agree 3rd person is essential for vehicles (both air and ground). Just watch the videos from E3 and SOE community day of people driving their tanks up impossibly steep inclines and and into rocks trees etc. because they don't know what the camera toggle button is.

I can live without 3rd person for infantry. I just wish there was a way to occasionally see myself on the battlefield, like during vehicle entry/exit animations for example. Oh no, I didn't just go there.

If they ever added a sanctuary type area down the line they could allow 3rd person in thier.. that way all the vanity junkies could get thier fix whilst not affecting combat in any way.... simples

I value your opinion, but I must respectfully disagree.

lol @ at the mod that edited my post. I guess you didn't pick up on my satire. Oh well

Allow third person as infantry. Don't draw enemies when in third person.

Now people can do their machinima or just admire their looks, but don't gain any corner camping advantage.

Everyone wins. Except people who legitimately want corner camping ability back.

What is the difference of that and just hitting up the menu where it shows how you look?

I also dont need 3d Person on Inf.

As others have said, don't focus on what you don't want to bring into being - this is true for most of life. If you want a debate, focus on a debate, or make a thread about it.

I wouldn't use 3rd person either, but i'd do a free look to see my character time to time, if I am buying skins for him/her, this will be missing imho and could be usable in spawn only perhaps.

Enter/exit animations for vehicles was awesome imo. Made them feel a little bit more dynamic.

I'd like to have 3rd person when running longer distances as infantry though...

Ah... when the Gal driver went link dead half way between the arse end of no where . . .

Good, and bad, times all in one.

On topic: I use it extensively in PS1, purely because it's there. If it wasn't there, I wouldn't use it or miss it.

Baneblade · 2012-07-25, 08:17 AM

Third person infantry view is a crutch I won't miss.

ZaBa · 2012-07-25, 08:22 AM

But how will you be able to stare at your own character's butt???
