I think 3pv can be allowed but lets hav PGI bring back their old words of "risk vs reward" which they seemed to have been forgetting about. Remove the cockpit and hud functions while out in 3pv.

I think it will more look like this...

Good find. From the crowd that just doesn't give a **** about 3PV: looks like exactly what I was expecting.

Edit: Clearly, this isn't the final implementation, but I'd be perfectly fine with something like that.

You don't see how that view gives the shooter a massive advantage?
You need to consider the full rammifications more, I think.

Every sunday I bring my kid to a local mall for some lessons... Anyway I have hours to kill and it is too early to start drinking...

The mall has a video arcade so what's a gamer dad to do... I play midnight 4 something (racing game)...

I start grinding my car (yes you can save stuff in arcades now) and reach a decent level that I can begin to battle...

Then I notice something pretty wierd... All the kids beside me were in 3PV... I was the only one in 1PV...

I think it is really a generation thing... Oldies like us want the emuhsion.... Kids just want to see their toon on the screen..

It has nothing to do with wanting to see their toon on the screen.

They have a huge advantage when playing in third person. They can see cars on their sides and behind them easily. They can see exactly where they are on the road.

No, I really don't. You anti-3PV people seem to have a hard time believing anyone could have a different opinion than you. News flash: I won't be playing against them most of the time, and when I do, I'll be playing with the same advantage they have.

I'll only be angry if they start forcing the queues to mix, particularly in Community Warfare. Otherwise, I simply don't give a ****.

Honestly, I don't even see 3PV being as bad as Seismic has been. I'd rather let them line up a shot early than disallow flanking entirely.

@roland

Meh, I beat them all the same...

Not really worried about 3PV in mwo, I won't run 3PV and if I don't need to play with 3Pvers I won't worry about it...

Fact is interest about the game is waning...

Third person view is for folk who want to rot more than 7/8 of their team mate's eyeballs with their horrible paint designs, and cannot fathom the thought of committing to sticking their head around a corner because 6PPCSTALKERZ.

If you're a scout, it's YOUR JOB to stick that spindly little cockpit in harms way. If you are not a scout, WAIT FOR THE SCOUT.
