This is just ******* great news, isn't it?

PGI, why didn't you purchase the license to MW4 from mek-tek? It's clearly the game you wanted to make.

If they go 3rd person only, that will be the last day I play.

[Davers]

As long as it doesn't have any advantages over First Person then I'm fine with it.

[Tennex]

theory: they are going to test this at PAX or some one of the game confs coming up. See how it does, see if it gets people to play their game. and the response to it. and depending on the response at PAX they will decide to implement it or not.

give it a shot. they can always take it out.

i hope they don't screw up tho.


personally am looking froward to seein my own camo spec

Why do people say this? Do you realize this represents significant time, energy, and effort on PGI's part to develop, bugtest, bugfix, and "balance" a new feature like 3rd person cam? There's a whole mess of technical problems that need to get fixed. If PGI is busy working on a 3rd person camera no one bloody wants, they -aren't- working on other features that we DO want, like Community Warfare, improved netcode, and performance fixes.

I like how the MWO community unanimously said "no" to 3rd person, and PGI went "well too bad you're getting it anyway"

Truely they listen to our input and give us what the playerbase wants.

Unfortunately, that's the CoD playerbase.

External camera should follow you around like MW2 the Clans
but it cannot keep up very fast

I don't know who works in PGI's PR department, but they must have their feet surgically grafted into their mouths by now

To be honest, you're the first person I was expecting to completely start biting and clawing this thing to oblivion.
To say this post was a surprise is an understatement.

[Jonathan Paine]

I think my next $60 or so might go to pledge Heavy Gear then. First consumables, now 3rd person. Great.

[benth]

We tried to stop them.

We tried to tell others what they would do.

It seems we've failed.

PGI is going back on their word. On Coolant. On Golden Ammo. Third person.

Even if they come out to deny Garth's comment and this twitter post, why should we believe them?

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE NEWS

Explain to me how you think third person won't have any advantage over first person please.

It was foretold that we'd get a casual MW4 with goldsinks, gold ammo, coolant, and poptarts The prophecy is coming true in every way, and they're feeding founder money to MW: tactics.

Enjoy.

Who is this 3rd person?

Me. Unless I was 4th person... I don't remember my assignment.

To be fair though most MW's have had 3rd person and most actual simulators I seem to have also have it so in a way it seems funny to not be here. Not that I would bother using it.

[Hawkeye 72]

Oh lord...why are they wasting their time with this...

There are much better things they can be working on aka Community Warfare, the Clans, dynamic terrain, netcode, 12v12

Hell anything besides a feature 90% of the people on here dont want. Does Hawken have 3rd person?

I'll give it a chance, but my hopes are low.

I am supposed to feel like a pilot in a 100 ton tank, not an autonomous robot with Gears of War style view.
