Inside transport vehicles

what are your thoughts on keeping a first person POV wile inside a transport vehicle?

So for instance in the sunderer you can see your whole squad inside sitting on benches with their guns between their legs and same goes for the galaxy.

Nope, not needed in my book. Rather see the surroundings. However, it would be a nice cool touch to add immersion.

Probably the coolest idea ever but I don't think we will see it implemented. SERIOUSLY though I want this so bad!

Oh! Being inside a transport vehicle!
At first I thought this thread was about indoor transport vehicles. Was going to take dibs on the Vanu Segway.

If BF3 did anything right, it did this right.

Yeah, I loved this in BF Vietnam... Everyone looking toward eachother in a chinook.

It would be cool, but id rather be in third person.

maybe something to add later as a toggle.

I'd rather have a third-person view because it gives you more spotters for enemies.

I don't know, even if you could still look outside the vehicle to a slight degree, it seems like it'd take alot of work without any real benefit. Plus, having guys pop in and out instantly from the vehicle would look kind of weird.

My thoughts also. The BF games have been doing this for a long time now.

I created a thread about this a couple of months ago but it didn't get that much traction.

Last year I wrote a short story about being stuck inside the back of a galaxy flying to a drop zone. I love this idea I really do but its something that isnt necessary. I hope to see it in an expansion though.

I'd like the Galaxy to come with an in flight movie.

haha, it would be like barney, elmo, or the smurfs

I'd absolutely love to have it, but it's not that important to me overall.

Good idea, that way I can drive them around in circles all day and they will never know.

Yeah, I like 1st person views inside of vehicles. It adds a lot to the squad dynamics.

Check out the start if this vid from ARMA to see how it goes:

I feel like a bit of character would be lost if we all just had a third person perspective.

Having that sort of interaction would be a big plus in Planetside 2.
