Whoever came up with the idea for a 3rd person POV event should be fired along with whoever approved it.
It's a spit in the face of all the Founders (if any are still around anyway) who were promised that the 3rd person POV BS from MW4 wouldn't be implemented in the first place.

I agree! No map, no arm movement, aiming is terrible, zoom is counterproductive, and forget doing this in Faction Warfare.

Moreover I have to do it not once, but three times!? With all the kill-stealing going on!?

[censored] you, PGI!

Who's the genius who came up with this crap!?

This 3rd person thing was a very bad idea, no Minimap, Armlock, and its buggy like hell.

And when you win it doesn't count for what ever.

And please make never a challenge with the condition "survive", its ruined the Gameplay. All hiding somewhere and fire missels.

[Bill Lumbar]

Well I did 4 matches and and completed the terms to get the 3 days PT.... still only showing one. PGI, please fix this

[Commander A9]

Would've thought they'd have learned their lesson from To The Victors back in November 2014 never to put a 'survive' condition in such a tricky challenge, I swear...

[Belkor]

This 3rd person view is so poorly designed that it is torture. No minimap, can't even access the bigger map, can't see your own health, mech blocks view of target up close, cursor is very jittery. I never thought the previous events ruined the game but this poorly thought out event sure does.

*edit* I got 3 kills in 3rd person, survived and won the round. It is not registering. Thanks alot for this garbage event PGI.

This 3rd person non-sense legitimately makes me mad.

1. You developed this terrible system. Taking time away from developing good not terrible things.
and
2. You incentivize me to use your terrible system with free stuff. Taking time away from me enjoying the game and highlighting your mistake.

What the literal [explitive] is wrong with you?

I find these event tasks ********, counter productive and directly disruptive. People in 3PV mode are nothing more than deadweight, just as people who will go for "do 300 damage and die". And "sit in matches for 10 hours"... I don't have polite words for that.

Confirming 'the flea' achievement just does not work. I've had matches entirely in 3PV selected in settings, got solo kills, won, survived, never glitched into 1PV at all from tunnels or walls or anything else - but still 0 progress on the achievement.

[Bill Lumbar]

Yep... All my matches have updated, and still only showing 1 instead of all three, (I did four just to be safe) wtf?

Ummm.. some matches are not registering..

I've purposely turned override on at the beginning of the match, over heated to over 100% (and damaged my internals and survived. I've done this at least twice, but nothing registered. All matches in the list are accounted for.

[Seddrik]

Narc kills are not registering either. I narc and kill and get no added tally to the website.

[Alanna von Trebond]

I have to agree. Very nice idea, but 3PV and surviving is a really bad combination...

You should disable this part of the challenge and let people get the premium time with something other.

[Stormbringer13]

THANKS for the stupid goals that now have players acting oddly and killing teams. Why not just reward Team Kills?

[Commander A9]

TAG Like A Ninja system is working. I think it gives it to you if you earn the "Stealth Tag" award. Acquired by tagging an enemy when no other enemy can see you...I think...

Although strangely enough, I got "TAG Stealth" while brawling too...

Seems like there are a lot of bugs , but there's no need to bash them for offering free prizes.
It's called a challenge for a reason.
With that being said the 3PV is torture after having completed it and not getting credit.
Hopefully they will fix these issues asap

[TheCaptainJZ]

It's very fitting that I watched all of Stranger Things last weekend Enjoying the timing of this event and the references.

[Taffer]

This event is wack, and i'm not feeling it.

[Dee Eight]

3rd person view CAN be useful, not the least of which to quickly see that light mech at your feet... or when you should release the space bar when jumping onto another mech. I have killed a mech via a DFA... one point of collision damage is enough to crit an ammo pack in the head apparently.

[Mr T]

So guess what, if you are going for the 3rd person view, and it switches to first person because you're too close to a wall (not hitting the button to switch it off) it doesen't count...

Now that is incredibly frustrating and probably why it hasn't been registering for some of you.

[meteorol]

Well that is probably a 5 day break from MWO for me.

I won't play when half of my team is running arond in 3PV trying to get a kill, or doing some other batsh*t crazy thing while trying to get 11MC.

I won't deal with people playing even more lunatic than usual.
