I am OK with the idea of 3rd Person, after all we had it in Mech Assault 2. The only proviso for me is that it should be selectable and not replace the standard 2nd Person view we have at the moment. 3rd Person can remove the blinkers and allow you to see more in a fire fight, but it's not as realistic as 2nd Person.

Um Mech Assault 2 was like an arcade game compared to MWO (for now at least)

They are looking forward to see if 3rd person view should be implemented. What do you think?

Think this is incorrect. It IS being implemented. That's been stated. I voted no to 3PV in every thread it's asked, but doesn't change the fact that it's coming.

[LordBraxton]

3rd person would be one of the only realistic reasons I would quit MWO

I say realistic because them adding Gundams or Ponies seems less likely

[Miken]

IMHO! Now 3dps only for trainig grounds, if some "hardcore" mode will be eventually introduced, then 3dps-1dps switcher may be available only in "arcade" mode. And community separation by any game modes is bad idea.

[Zabadoo]

No is the only answer. In a 3rd person view you can cheat. You can see people around corners and basically screw the guy who is in 1st person view.

Pls....NO!

PGI, better use the time to develope a rearviev cam for one of the cockpit monitors, so i can shoot the rear mounted SRM 4 from the upcomming QuickDraw

I am just dumbfounded that PGI doesn't listen to their customers. It's such bad business practice. This is going to screw the community because lots will leave. I have already noticed a huge decline in gamers on the Teamspeak servers over the past couple months. It used to be the servers would be near capacity. The last week there have been maybe 10-20 people on at any given time.

I don't care.

[Viper69]

What I picture 3PV mode to be like is like WoT. You can drive around in it but if you try to fight in 3pv you will fail because you cannot target well. I hope its a tool to learn is all.

[Donnie Silveray]

As an option: Sure
As a requirement: No

[AlmightyAeng]

Doesn't matter...they are putting it in. That's been known for quite a while now.

Just be thankful there will be an option to fight only other first-person view pilots...I just hope it doesn't affect matchmaking TOO much.

Well I voted for not wanting to have third person view. However, as I clicked vote I had a revelation. That all of a sudden I realized that they do not care what the hardcore fans think anymore. I get the feeling that they hear us and just want us to leave so they can make the MechWarrior game that "They" want to make. Not the MechWarrior game that we've all wanted to see for so long. It's evident by the lack of game modes, the pulling the fast one and refusing to release a beloved mech from the franchise, and dropping the "you're getting 3rd person now shut up and like it!" in the June Dev Update. As I had the revelation I realized that I just don't care anymore. I'm tired of hating them. I'm tired of arguing with people who don't even want us here. I'm just going to enjoy what I can and when the time comes that 3rd person drops I'll stay until everyone goes to play in the third person matches. That day when I can't find a first person view match is the day I'll sadly hang my neurohelmet up for good and play MechWarrior 3 and 4 campaigns like I used to.

Hmm but who buys then the bling-bling cockpit items?

Canadians are really a strange folk.

[Tombstoner]

I voted yes - but i would like it to be in the training grounds only.
then upgrade the ground with some basic ai on the mechs and teach new players some combat. basics.
then is back in the cockpit you go. best of both worlds.... .you get to see you mech and how it looks.... a good reason to paint it and its not an advantage in combat.

I think you misread the Update, they don't want to know if we want 3rd person. We are getting it.

That is the whole point of this thread I started this thread. I know a lot of people has complained about it on a different thread however this is merely intended to be specific to it.

This will have a HUGE impact on lights. As a light pilot it will be then difficult to kill a stalker by hitting his rear torso since they will be able to see which way you are going.

[Thanatos676]

i think the poll is already showing where the majority vote is. And that is NO 3PV!!

[Zerberus]

This is the what, 400th, 500th poll for "we don`t want 3pv" after PGI has clearly stated that it WILL come, and even opened a feedback thread clearly stating this?

http://mwomercs.com/...095-3rd-person/

Waste of time, effort, and bandwith. No vote from me as my opinion is known and still irrelevant.

With all due respect, rendundant copies of redundant copies of redundant copies of redundant threads discussiong reduntdantly rehashing things that were discussed to death and finalized months ago is part of the main reason GD was rightly closed, because it was filled with so much redundant trash that things of actual novelty and /or importance got pushed to page 2 within minutes in the process of the someone having posted in all the previuous threads creating the xth whinethread about teh same thing.

But since we no longer have GD, I guess we have to **** up what rooms we still have, eh?

That's a hell of a crazy useful idea. I really hope they dont implement 3rd person view because the game will simply lose its pilot sense.
