3PV wont bring CoD players to MWO,because the CoD "killer" is called Hawken.

MWO is suppose to be a simulation and the CoD players wont even be attracked to this type of slow game,in a stupid attent to please everyone PGI fuzzy bunny on their own fanbase. Way to go!

Remember what Russ says? Calling all MW fan and a year late "we want to please the Cod player" ....wtf?


When/where did Russ say that?

For everyone who says that since people are playing in separate queues, it doesn't matter, you're WRONG. Tell me, how many people do you think play this game regularly? Not once or twice a patch, but, say, a couple days a week. How many? I'll tell you this: if you can play with the same people in PUG's over and over, there aren't that many. 3PV will TAKE AWAY PLAYERS from the FPV queue. So yes, actually, it does matter.

Is MWO planned to go out on console for brainless ppl or something? That would explain why they do 3PV.

so mechwarrior is why you want to entirely change the game from what it was advertised as?
Good explanation I guess



They have stated there will be separate queues.

They never stated that MWO would be FPV only. What they said was that FPV was a key component and that they didn't have plans to do 3PV at that time. That time was over a year ago...

first post july 2012 when they stated it will be fpv only, edited in 2013. i understand you want 3pv and you try to defend it but try getting your facts straight. now they are stating there will be seperate queues are you so sure six months from now they aregonna stick to it?

Actually, for all that game's worth, it is still 1PV only.

Ironic, isn't it?

Because big shooty robot games are niche.

But if you add 3rd person the game suddenly becomes mainstream and more people will join than the number that leave due to this decision.


Or so PGI hopes...

  • Some players prefer playing games in 3PV.
  • New players were having difficulty with the torso twist and direction. 3PV is there to provide an assist.
  • All previous versions of MechWarrior except for the first had 3PV. So the claims that adding 3PV makes the game something other than MechWarrior is completely bogus.


I agree everyone should have the choice to play in first person or third person as long as the don't take away first person prospective as that's my suited play style

Most fps are fps only for a reason called FoV,but i can see why people on MWO wont even try hawken like my MW friend.

The PGI devs look like a bunch of casual gamers and MW is not a casual game,i was playing MWO last night with my friend(mwo mitchnets) and after a blunt a idea stryke me...

If all that **** about 3pv is for helping the player to move there mech,why not change that lame *** mini map with a kick *** holographics mini map in 3d? with height value(color code) etc just imagine a mini map like a 3pv sort of thing. gtg no time to brain storm i hope some can understand my idea of a holographic map.

Having seen what 3pv looks like with the drones its interesting and I like the implementation. I wonder if instead of simply being a view option; it might be implemented as a module.

And that shows that you know nothing about the MechWarrior franchise. Hell, if you even played the previous MW games, you would have known that simple fact.

You will never have to play in 3pv, nor have to play against those that do. Why send off those that wish to do so?


Until PGI changes their mind again and forces one combined queue.

I guess I just never used it because, well, Mech is a first person game. Forgettable feature indeed.

Now that it's multiplayer only, it actually becomes important to not allow it as an option (instead of putting it there for nobody to use).

HUH!!!! what? another fine post of the blind leading the blind!!!! TO all who post on this thread here is some news for you!!!---->>>PGI will do as they please and no matter what I say or any of you say only the decisions of the devs will come to pass. I personally play both FPV and 3rd person view have played both views since MW2 and a lot of other players have also. So to all those FPV only players I say to you (GET OVER IT) and just play and support the game. Hellll I have said this is not true MechWarrior yet but maybe it will be and that keeps me interested enough to still play a few games a month. If they ever have private matches and leagues and lobby launchers I will play it 24/7 no matter what views are available. http://www.youtube.c...d&v=bJwoJe3Kb5E Posted Image

While I support the Great Clan Ghost Bear, I am left to wonder why you chose that particular post to leave our great symbol there...
