From the Pod Cast Russ implied that 3rd person was coming to help new players figure out how their mechs work.

That the biggest problem new players had was figureing out the relationship between their torso and their legs.

If that is the case, restrict 3rd person view to trial mechs.
This way new players can have an additional view to help them along, while keeping 3rd person from becoming a requirement in normal play and preventing a splitting of the player base.

That is an idea, however it does not solve the underlying issue of not having a tutorial or practice area which is the real answer.
I kind of suggest something along that lines in my post, but 3rd only in tutorial/practice arena.

Oh yes, a tutorial is absolutely needed.

And yea, 3rd person, implemented at all, needs to be training/practice only.
3rd person should also be HUDless, maybe with the radar view so they can see the relation between the minimap indicators and their legs.

Agreed!
