     I had been watching patch note updates and decided 3rd person gameplay looks REALLY good. (0.9.6) specifically. Someone out there may feel the same way. The key advantage in my opinion is the field of view is increased significantly. The 3rd person perspective works great finding teammates, identifying enemy targets, establishing team objectives, and gives the game that unrealistic over exaggerated video game feeling vs. being stuck in the 1st person the entire match. The repair mode does use the 3rd person, and it looks great.

 

     I'd compare it similarly to a good driving game that offers these multiple perspectives. It might add an extra advantage over 1st person specific shooters (which I do not like at all). I'm not a big fan of any one character capable of carrying 4 assault rifles, 3 medi-pacs, a chain gun, rpg's and what not while running full speed over mountains, hopping in and out of vehicles or what have you.

 

     When the full title is released gamers would be receiving WAY more....! I apologize ahead of for bringing the name of other titles to the forefront but the option to switch game play from a Call.Of.D perspective to let's say Batman AK style ads perspective to the environment.

 

Just a thought! :) Once again I'm entirely commenting the great video's Posted by the HAWKEN developers. Stay true to your roots fellaz. Don't let anyone kick you down.

No.

3rd person is great. Too great. That's why we cant have it. It would be so powerful, and, most likely, change the shooting mechanic completely for 3rd person players. 

As it stands, the first person gives a simulator feel while keeping the shooting mechanic simple and the fighting fast and stressful.

I agree with meatmissile_. 3rd person will fuzzy bunny up the game mechanics to a point the game would completely change. Hawken is all about first person view and a lot depends on the skill of a pilot to move into his opponents blindspot or approach him being unseen. 3rd person will eliminate the need for all those skills and will turn it to a mindless fragfest without any depth.

 

you can peer over hills, peek around corners without exposing your mech. The element of suprise or playing hide and seek on maps like frontline, prosk etc would be eradicated completely. The whole point of not showing up on the radar while not generating heat is to approach an enemy unseen. 

Implementing 3rd person would force everyone to play 3rd person, because of the advantages. In Hawken even small advantage has a huge impact.

 

You can change the FOV in the settings if you need more.

No offense, but if someone doesn't know where his teammates or his objectives are to a degree he needs a 3rd person view he might need a little more practice. 

 

If you don't like 1st person, then why play a game that is solely focused on being an FPS?

New item ? Maybe a small drone perhaps. (It may have already been brought up. ) We all know other things need to be addressed first.

Hi U235 you seem kind of new here, so welcome.  Just to let you know though, this topic has been brought up a lot in the past, I mean really, a lot.  Not just in this forum, but the original one too. This is a first person shooter and third person view, although sounding attractive, would completely break this game.

I hear you.. Newbie? I've got over 500hrs clocked on the steam version alone. I've been playing since 2012 before the steam era. My bad though personally I guess I don't check topic updates everyday. The suggestion was leaning more towards adding the option to play FP or 3rd person. Basically what your telling me though is if any larger game developer with a bucket of cash can replicate this game with little difficulty. Titan fall for example. Let's face HAWKEN could basically be a 100GB file when everything is said and done. I don't think it would hurt any1 gamers pocket to fork out $150.00 for the game and a t-shirt. There's a lot of great input everywhere, my bad though once again. Don't convince me I can do better then what i'm playing because it could happen by many of my sort. Gaming industry bro. whatever tho!

 

Additionally: Just to add. There seems to be a large market developing for these old school Army Man 3D type games... Like I said I don't nerd out on games. I don't know what you might call them... HAWKEN is the only game I will play due to a lack of any realism,. Not necessarily as far as the graphics, more or less the premise. Willsie tho!

 

The army man 3d analogy is on the EXTREME side of 3rd person which I am referring. thnx

AJK writing entire books telling why it is bad seems so long ago..
