However, if added; I would use 1st and 3rd person. Yes 3rd person to look around corners.

Holy kerfuffle Batman…
Third Person is being reviewed internally as an optional gameplay mode. No final decisions or designs have been made yet, however preliminary thoughts include:[/color]
- Players would be able to choose 1st or 3rd person or toggle between both.
- Players would be able to select how they are matched against other players: Only 1st person, Only 3rd person, or Mixed. This will preserve the integrity of matches and allow players maximum control over their gaming experience.
- The concern with a matchmaking solution is player base fragmentation, part of the reason why 3rd person isn’t being rushed to production.
- 3rd person would not change how LOS or targeting work.
- Players may gain a visual tactical advantage, depending on how much freedom in camera movement is given. This is subject to designing a camera system that feels good.
- The game isn’t easier per se in 3rd person, so we do not feel changing the meta rewards is necessary.
- 3rd person would be default or there will be a prompt for new players to select their view point.
- New players will benefit from seeing how torso twist and throttle work from the outside. This reduces new user friction and gets them into the game faster, with less frustration.
- This feature is designed to maximize player choice, by letting people select which mode they prefer.

If they **** up this royally, they might as well shoot MW right between the eyes and bury it there and then.

I would quit the game before playing with others using 3rd person, But they already have my money, so im just left with a handful of hope and we all know how much a handful of hope will buy you. Jack and S#@T, and Jack already left.

I want to play in First person.
I paid to play in First person.
If they add 3rd and it's clearly a tactical advantage, I'm out...
You paid for battlemechs, premium time and in-game MC. That is all.

NO you are wrong.... The 3rd person question was asked about before even closed beta and the answer was "No","this game is a sim it would only have 1st person view."
I PAID into this game. I WAS going to Spend more money on it. Today my plans had been to check the forum, load up my MC and then play the game, now I'm not buying any MC and will not until the 3rd person view is dismissed, so they may never get any more money out of me.

- Camera is locked horizontally to the torso. This is not a peek around corners mode.
- Camera is locked vertically to the torso, you can only look up and down as far as your torso can.
- When approaching cover (to rocks/building etc), the camera pulls IN so FoV is greatly reduced when standing close to something.
- 3rd Person is not a free-cam.
- HUD will be significantly reduced if not completely removed.
- LOS targetting is NOT affected by 3rd person. If you cannot target it from 1st person, you cannot target it in 3rd.
- ONLY the targeted enemy (Press R) can be identified in 3rd person... all other HUD indicators are turned off.

They ONLY way I will accept a 3rd person view of your mech is with mini-me mech on your cockpit's dash board.

100 percent totally agree.
I think it 100% SHOULD be available in a training type mode, and also in a post game replay <(why isn't this available yet?).
It 100% should NOT be in gameplay mode.
I voted the newly added quit option.
