I wonder if he thinks North and South America are all one big island?

Well, it used to be, until the Panama Canal was built.

"Hardcore" mode, where no 3PV is allowed, is coming. So I guess everything will work out eventually.

You mean 'Normal' mode?

Hardcore suggests it is difficult...

Nope they dont... there will allways be people complaining about the complainers... or thinking they are witty and clever by making fun of people who have legit complaints.

Vote with your wallet. If you went for phoenix preorders request a refund. Even if they reject you it'll send a message.

Amen, and Id add don't buy anything. If they do try to reject a refund go straight to your CC company or PP with screen prints. We where lied to about how this would be implemented and its a game changing mechanic. Had PGI been honest about what they where going to do many of us would never have put up the money. Your an unethical toad Russ. I only hope that someone picks up the IP after you run it into the ground.

I think MWLL is being resurected because of the PGI crapstorm of lies and undelivered promises. They are going looking to partner with a planetary league so that in one fell swoop there will be another MW game that includes a Metagame to go with it. I for one am going to support that project.

Its funny you should mention that, several members of the Skye Rangers I play with have started playing MWLL again.

pgi has no damn idea what they are doing, and at this point I seriously doubt they ever will.

About 5 months ago most of my clan and I agreed that if this game wasn't battletech, and it hadnt been so long since a battletech game, we would have already given up on it. As of a few months ago most of us gave up anyway. Hurray pgi for alienating a loyal fanbase of this franchise with incompetence, foolish stubbornness, and as this thread shows too well, straight up rudeness to your paying customers.

What exactly is all the outrage about anyway? That Russ thinks 3PV might actually be a slight disadvantage (e.g. Mech easier to spot)? Some of you guys seem overly sensitive and a bit insecure.

not really...the fact that he says like "qq more, 1st person party, there is a disadvantage to 3rd person.."

while there are so many ADVANTAGES to it that i stopped counting during my testing today... more arcade,more nonskiller gameplay, aimbots... the game in it´s current state feels like a funshooter now...and don´t come along with "you don´t have to use 3rd person."

i know i don´t, but knowing that in 3rd person, aiming below 600m is easier than hitting with a lightningbolt in Neverwinter, missing with lasers is almost impossible (not that it was hard before anyway) plus one can see the whole goddam battlefield without any efford - how is that not gamebreaking for me? shall i take the disadvantage i have for keeping my lovely cockpitview? or shall i abuse the hell out of a system that PGI appearently tries to force upon me?

sorry,but a missing minimap is NOT making up for the advantages. it is and will be a gamechanger that is not good for the feel of the game...

try running a few matches in a laser-jenner,exclusively in 3rd, and if you still can´t see what i mean... well nuff rage for today. i want a PGI statement about the aimbot/ aimaid call it what you want. otherwise they can keep that shiny phoenix overlord package and i´ll buy something nice for the money.

like hell it doesn't! it's a discussion focused on a gameplay mechanic. And it just so happens that it brings it to the table to discuss because of Russ's attempts to belittle his player base!

All of which further highlights the myriad public relations issues PGI has created through sheer incompetence.

[Deathlike]

They are their own worse PR. It needs no new intro.

[King Arthur IV]

3pv lovers will come to realize that 3pv sucks and they will cry for things like map and radar and sensors. if its not given to them they will just leave and then we are back at square one.

currently implementation of 3pv was a waste of time because the target audience will still hate it.

There is nothing wrong with playing with folks that wana play in 3rd person view...

it doesn't offer any more advantages then what seismic offers or anything else..

it just blown up because all the "elite" and forum warriors don't like other folks having fun with the game except them..

i for one applaud pgi for sticking to their guns and keeping the 2 together in the same que.. we do NOT need a playerbase split..and before u say we do..you people have not seen what that kinda split does to a game.. i have.. you dont want it here.

While I appreciate the need to avoid splitting the player base (same reason for not making a Team Death Match gameplay mode) - 3rd does in fact offer an advantage. Being able to see over walls, hills, and around corners is unrealistic and upsetting to fans of a simulator style game. Most elite players will use both modes - because it is easier and more familiar to aim in 1st but you can check corners and hills in 3rd. I don't think - well I hope people don't hate it just because they don't want people to have fun. I'd be onboard with 3rd if the game had sensors like in MW4 -> then the ability to see around terrain without exposing yourself would be sufficiently marginalized.
