My personal prefrence is first person view i feel more immersed in the game that way although give players an option to play out thr third person view i gusse wouldnt be to bad.

Well, Mechwarrior 4 has 3rd person view but the best servers disallow it. The problem with that game is that 3rd person view was never coded to receive knock the same way 1st person is. As a result, 3rd person is significantly better at short-range warfare when there is a high amount of knock affecting both mechs. MWO certainly doesn't need to have 3rd person at launch, and if it ever does include this feature it needs to be carefully balanced and unavailable for some game modes.

3rd person from a spectator mode perhaps? Like after you die? Or still too much of a risk of cheating, i.e. telling your team mates where enemy are. I am in agreement with first person only when your actually playing but damn I'd love some kind of spectator mode.

3rd person view is not planned at the moment.

Take a read through the dev blogs and you'll see why.
