Now I know what you're thinking. "Why the fuzzy bunny is he bringing this up again? Didn't we tell him no the last time?" Yes, you did, and I listened to the explanations and issues and thought it out a bit more. Now before you tear me a new one, hear me out.
I can definitely see the issues posed if Third Person was implemented into public game types such as Team Deathmatch or other game modes that require Player VS. Player.
But I don't see any issues regarding Player VS. AI.
Third Person could be implemented into game modes where you are not fighting other players, but instead A.I.'s because lets be honest here. A.I.'s don't give a crap. Co-op Bot Destruction would be one of those games types where Third Person would be something great to implement into.
The reason why I push the issue of Third Person so far is because I can see the big picture here. This game would attract a lot more players if there were different perspectives. In some suggestions and discussions, I'm also seeing people wanting the additions of PvE content. If such content gets added, why experience that content in just first person?
And probably one of the most important reasons is because people pay their money for meteor credits to look cool, and to customize their mechs to their hearts desire. Many players actually want to see their mech that they spent their own money on customizing in action, so why restrict them to it?
One last issue that I come to is a performance issue. I see no performance issues simply changing the camera because it is already done in the training area, and spectator is in Co-op bot destruction without performance drops. I have a low-end PC, and was able to run Hawken just fine in both perspectives and the addition of the HUD would not be much effect, so if anyone brings up the matter of it being a performance issue, I can call complete BS on that.
I apologize if this topic has annoyed anyone seeing as it has been mentioned before many times in the past, but my points are valid, and I stand with these points always no matter of anyone's disapproval.
Third Person CAN BE IMPLEMENTED. There are always ways around a problem, and I seek to sort them out.
Please keep the posts on this thread positive. I do not seek arguments, but improvements.
