I'm still confused by the part where over 90% of all players begged you not to include a 3rd person camera mode, and then you decided it was a good idea to include a 3rd person camera mode.

3rd Person = Expanded Player Base = Free MW Game

If we are going to have lobby's in the future, just make a few lobbys that have 3rd Person View enabled.

If PGI want's to keep their player base, all they need to do is restrict 3rd Person View from CW matches.

Simple.

3rd person view. If it was so good there would be a MW game using 3rd person view out there. But... wait... There is not one.

Adding 3rd person view will just make aim bots and jump shooting work better. It will remove any SA needs and you think lights running around are hard to deal with now... lol.....

I know that they might get a few new players. But I would be one they lose.

Actually, the better question would be: Which MW game did not have 3PV?

MWLL, the best so far.

Oops, you did that...you said "all" wrongly grouping everyone that has tried the game...

[Mystere]

Se we have 3 (MW2/3/4) vs. 2 (MW and MWLL). Are there more?

If I had known that there was going to be a 3rd person view to this game I would not have pledged as much as I have.

If you absolutely must implement a 3rd person view make sure that the camera give is not so far removed from the cockpit so that the view is not so skewed. Think of the original Ghost Recon games where you are looking right over his shoulder.

Which MW game with 3rd person is a E-Sport....Oh and still being played.

Then those poor people who can't walk without crashing into a wall without 3PV will still not be able to play.

Rockin the 1PV

OMG!!! I LOVE THIS ONE!!! If only they could recreate this one with current graphics technology!!! It is the most UBER one!!!

[Gremlich Johns]

If I remember correctly, MW:LL had 1PV and three types of 3PV, one looking over center the other two looking over either the right or left sholder.

I also do not recall any of the players using anything but 1PV.

_{Yes, it actually had jack **** to do with Mechwarrior but it was 1st person only}

we have no vote on yes or no. they opnly want to hear HOW to impliment it. Let them say it best:

This thread is not about whether or not 3rd person should it exist. Rather, we want your feedback on how it should be implemented. Understand we're not debating the merits of having 3rd person or not.

third post in the thread
They dont care IF we want it.

Why I am no longer necessarily 100% against 3rd person:


-- If it is gimped enough, I am fine with it.
---- A 'vanity' mode. ( Can see your own mech) (would make cool videos)
---- Not accounted for during any of the "events" offered by PGI. (Unless exclusively 3rd related)
---- Might be interesting to see the game in a different perspective

--Newer players might benefit from it
--Lower rewards from matches if not completely removed
------Training guide // Practice matches (Only)
--- Players within their first 200 games (give or take) are able to use it 'freely' (no limitations)
--- Players beyond "X" games recieve NO assistance from 3rd person (HUD removed)
----Players beyond "X" games recieve NO rewards in 3rd person. (No stats, no rewards)

(Functioning like a practice mode where new players can actually use it with no restrictions)

I can see 3PV being useful for the canon Mechs with rear facing weapons (some already in game, but currently implemented with their Hardpoints facing forward), or Mechs with arms that can rotate to fire behind them (like with the Jagermech).

1PV in its current state is pretty much useless for aiming & shooting behind you, if those rear facing mechanics were ever to be implemented in game, including shooting forward & backward simultaneously when being surrounded / circle strafed.

If it were limited to training grounds, then by all means. But what would the people learn using 3PV in training grounds?

They'd learn to QQ about their Easy Button being taken away until the devs caved and gave it to them.

[Gremlich Johns]

Will matches in Community Warfare be 1st Person View only?

1PV in it's current state is fine for this if we could have a "rear facing" camera, but I suspect the problem that plagues the advanced zoom module would rear it's ugly head here too.
