I'm pretty sure CW never had 3rd person.
Its always been locked for CW.

yep, not available in CW. It comes from the big stink made by the community when PGI (prolly an IGP proposal) introduced 3rd Person (the game originally had no 3rd Person and wasn't going to). No 3rd Person in CW was, I believe, a compromise (they listened to the community) and kept it out of CW saying that CW was for the competitive crowd.
I understand the need for it to take screenshots. Heck, I played only 3rd Person in MW4:Mercs and personally wish they hadn't nerfed 3rd Person so much, but that is a whole other discussion and a button not pushed....

Frankly, I think it was "a bad idea" (to put things ever so mildly) to remove it from CW just because some players would go nuts. Why don't they just improve it like this instead?
I dare to tread where no one else does.

For CW, its removal is what ppl wanted, they got it.
I gotta say though, its a very useful feature.
When you can peek around a corner or over the ledge of a hill without having to eat lrm's, Gauss or Laser vomit just to scout, its pretty nice.
Besides, the little flashy light on your probe lets the enemy know exactly where you are.
Its fair trade.
If its gone eventually from both modes, not a big deal.

Third person view would be even more intresting if the 3rd person drone could be shot down like an uav. After that the player would be forces to play 1st person or just no 3rd person... You know for immersion.

What's the big deal? It's just a matter of preference. Are the drones destructible? If so, that should be removed because 3rd person players shouldn't be punished for preferring to see things a different perspective...
But that's just my 2 cents.
