I want to punch you

Make sure you do it in third person view. That way you can see how cool you look punching me.

So of all the Mech Warrior games to date, how many had third person view?

2 things.. First, I can't wait for third person view! Thank you PGI for making decisions that are in the best interest of the game. You will attract more customers, who will in turn buy more camo so they can admire it in third person view. Second, off all the Mech Warrior games to date, how many had third person view?

Why don't you go play MechWarrior Tactics?

If you're gonna troll, at least put some effort into it.

Are you a plant, or a real MWO player? Just wondering.

A very carefully and specifically worded developer's post might calm things down. Otherwise it might just fuel the fire. Part of the problem here is it can appear to an outside observer that everyone on the inside isn't on the same track.

Even if someone just stuck their head in to say "Yeah, we've noticed that you've lit your torches and sharpened your pitchforks. We'll be back with some answers tomorrow.", it would help.

the ONLY thing that will stop this wild fire is if they say 1 of 2 things:

"3rd person view will be only for replay mode only after the match ends."

"3rd person view will be in rated matches, but is only accessible after death, and all inter game chat functions are completely disabled, and to prevent this being abused while on 3rd party VOIP's all player names are removed from the HUD so you do not know if you are on a friendly or hostile mech."

anything less is a mockery of US the fans, the ones who FUND this project and a mockery of the franchise and title.

From where I'm sitting, majority seems pretty clear.

You can't be serious. A poll from a tiny part of the player base is not the majority. Until you poll everyone, the poll you speak of, means absolutey nothing.

You should know by now that when we uncover their dirt, they go post on reddit, and avoid their own forums for several days, and then one will post and cite that they 'read everything.'

Business as usual.

No, sir, I will not trust these people. There's nothing to trust. All ego.

Xmith: My poll while only having about 1000 or so votes is more than enough statistically speaking to actually mean something. Further more, my poll that he linked is the 2nd generation of the poll, the prior one had more than 5000 NO votes. So, yes, it actually does mean something, and further still, the old business saying that is still taught in business 101:

for every customer who voices his or her opinion, be it positive or negative, there are 10,000 MORE people who do not speak up who share that exact same opinion.

this holds very true in this as well.

So apparently we're going to get 3'rd person but no rear view camera?

how do you figure, the player base who posts in forums is a representative of the whole, it's a random sample.

unless for some reason people who want this to play like mechassault don't like forums for a psychological reason

whats shocking is, that, they chose CE3 because it cant HANDLE a rear view camera. Now, they want to double the code in the game, make things even worse? funny thing is, they even wasted time and MONEY on repair and rearm only to scrap it. says alot about them

Making jokes about things that people are legitimately concerned about is rude. This is doubly true if you are in a position of power. A lot of people around here are either ignorant of that or just don't care.

It's pretty poor on their part that they've let that become the reaction that people expect. Even if it is what seems to happen. It's just not good customer relations.

[Cpt Beefheart]

... with all seriousness. 3rd person? No. God no.

1) say hello to people looking around corners

2) say hello to a new wave of PUG players who have no idea of the concept of 'teamwork'

I can understand the motive: put 3rd person in the game = a larger market. Fair call, you've got to pay the bills, but when trying to create things/features purely for money tends to destroy the product and lose devoted fans in favor of people who will pick up the game for a month and put it down again a who in their right mind would do it?
