*Grabs popcorn and enjoys the flame war* *Runs back to kitchen because he forgot the ginger ale* *Put on the theme for mortal combat in the back ground* *enjoys the war*

By the way I say no to third person view and agree with AJK all the way. I have learned more about game balancing and about games in general just by reading his or her posts( Do not know his or her gender because the avatar throws me off). Kudos to you AJK. Keep the steam rolling going. I hope you are there to steam roll any bad ideas I write on the forum.

I just kept this thread semi-alive didn't I_

Third Person SERVERS would make everyone happy.... and third person would be so EPIC for those that appreciate that experience.

NOBODY is suggesting THIRD and FIRST person views in the same game... after all the FPS fanaticals certainly can't accept that.

Mechwarrior players said the same thing.... waahh wahh, "it's a first person game...", and look what happened.

Have faith, my TPS compadres. The simple fact that the topic seems incapable of going away says a lot about the validity of it's message. :P

Here is a few ideas.
1.Top mounted camera, rotate speed is unlimited, and has the IR overlay of the predator. (lets you observe through walls before corner-peaking, and would have a 2-3 second transition time between them.) you cant fire in this mode.
2.Your drone could be a third person camera, and while in third person you cant fire.
3.There could be a free floating third person camera, and when in it, your damage is doubled, but all you can see is black. just a black screen. and no hit markers :)

i'm in favor of a 3rd person view option.

those who are whining about this, it's an OPTION... play any way you want.  Plenty of serious games have 1st and 3rd person options.  

for instance War Thunder, a detailed combat flight sim has a variety of views that the pilot can adopt.  I play 3rd person.  

chill the fuzzy Bun out boys... it's an OPTION

Look at what that "option" did to MWO.

And Hawken's low population cannot survive splitting between 1st and 3rd person queues. Non-NA players already have tiny populations as it is, and in some regions it's virtually impossible for people to play on their region's servers.

Hey guys, if you want the thread to die, then I'd suggest just leaving it alone, instead of continuously bumping it to the top.

Pleas no... it is a first person shooter not a third. Its why i play it. The feel of a massive machine being move and listening to me makes me feel fuzzy inside and giggly. MMM.... machines that weigh tons and blow things up how yummy.... but no third person it takes away from the experience of a fps.
