please guys, this game type is better in third person.
add options to third person or first person, please.
thanks.

[DanilKa]

I like this idea.

No way. Third person would give you too much situational awareness.

[Juodvarnis]

Even though i prefer third person, because i have a terrible sense of balance and surroundings, i'm saying no to this, why_
Immersion

Man, we already got radar, nothing can give more awareness than that.

Immersion has different ways for each people.
You (and a lot of players) got it in first person, I (and a lot of other players) got it in third person.

Should they change it to third-person completely_ No.

Could they add a game mode that allows combat in third-person_ Yes.

Will they_ Maybe.

It wouldn't be a great idea to add options to switch between perspectives, besides when you repair since at least then you're vulnerable. As much as I'm not one to want to separate players too much, if there is a heavy enough demand they should at least have an FPS and TPS type. Otherwise no, I don't think it is really that necessary to mix perspectives or to have constant Third-person POV in the game.

I'd prefer no 3rd person option.  It's a first person shooter game based on mechs...  Hard to say a first person game would be better in 3rd person imo.

3rd person allows corner peeking without actually showing your hit box.  I kind of want to experiment with repairs, 3rd person, sniping, and peeking corners...  Seems like an easy little way to exploit the engine, though not game breaking.

we need only the option to chose third or first person. I cant see problems adding this to the game, only benefits.

[Garuda]

This game is perfectly fine even with 3rd person view when repairing.

If you feel scared and unsure of your surroundings; GOOD.
I feel that this first person view is something that is genuine and unique to this game that a 3rd person view option would simply ruin it.

Um... what about free corner peeking, better mech awareness (IE knowing exactly how close you are to that wall), having much larger FOV (and as a result, making flanking more difficult) and the like all making FPFOV inferior in every way_
I'd say that's a pretty big problem

[Thundertron]

guys, im talking about TWO (2) options, and not change the first person to third person.
im talking about ADD options and not change the game type/style.

....Did you really not get the point_
Adding a third person option that doesn't suck would make first person POV inferior, thus making third person the only competitive option

if you like FPS, you'll play in fps and will be a good player in fps. And if u are a good player, no matter if the enemy can see things around him, aim assist, x-ray vision, you will destroy him.

[AndryRock9217]

The third person need to be implemented as a spectator mode, just like any other good fps...

So it's okay for players to aimbot and wallhack as long as SOMEONE can beat them_
That's kinda.. well... atrociously wrong

Third Rerson POV is a big design decision. It is NOT just "some option" that some players prefer and others dont. It's a direct upgrade to First Person POV
As a result, it's pretty much one or the other
And since we already have First Person....

Third person spectate is totally cool
That's not what's being discussed here though

The game needs a spectator mode before we can really start to argue about what said spectator mode should have

for sure...

[Sythorian]

The last thing we need is a Third Person feature in a game that is clearly designed to be an FPS. Why would Adhesive even consider it_

Adhesive Chief Designer: Hey guys, I just got an awesome idea. How about, we make our Mech FPS, that was clearly designed to be an FPS, a Mech TPS_



Yeah, you get my point.
