People will stop asking for 3rd person view as soon as their 100 ton mech doesn't get stuck on a tiny little fence or some other BS terrain.

Having 3rd person view will enhance the game not hurt it. If you don't like it then don't use it. I think it would be nice for positioning but it is sad that you often need it and don't have it.

There is no way they can add working third person to the game without breaking MWO's gameplay. There is no way they can make MWO and have players divided into two camps, each with their own gaming system. It can't be done, once they add 3rd person MWO is 3rd person only with optional cockpit view. They might think they can, but the game is already so delayed. MWO should be Live with Community Warfare (clan vs clan ranking/gameplay) right now.

Hate to be so negative, but the Devs better think this through. Devs make the game and players define it.

The community voted overwhelmingly against the idea, PGI will probably implement it anyway, such is life.

and then they will ask why this game suddenly died.

If you can't tell where your feet are pointing, even with the massive white arrow on your minimap you are an *****.

But we are supposed to believe that THIS is the reason they want to impliment it? Nah. It is because Noobs want tactical third person advantage.

Anyone played BF3? I was a Jet Pilot in BF3. It had near simulator mechanics. This person view ruined the simulation, and allowed a tactical advantage. I stopped playing after that.

PGI got taken for a ride by morons. They do everything the noobs say.

Guys, you can't yield to everyones wishes! If this game is a simulator then so be it! If someone wants to play, they have to learn, just like all other games out there.

Why not just give them all free bots and hacks and let them roam free?

How dare you call their intelligence into question!! Don't you know that PGI are the chosen ones and are infallible in all things!?!

This reminds me of that South Park episode where everyone is playing Guitar Hero. And then Randy tried to teach his son to play a real guitar and is told he's lame. Why wouldn't you just go and spend all that time learning to fly a real plane and becoming a pilot if it matters that much to you?

Oh, I almost forgot. You said "hundreds of THOUSANDS" of hours. Let's take the smallest amount that could be... 200,000 hours. That's 8333 separate 24 hour periods. That's nearly 23 years of 24 hour days. Or, nearly 46 years of spending 12 hours a day playing. Since the very first (and terrible) version of Microsoft Flight Simulator was released in 1980, you would have had to spend about 16 hours a day, every single day, since 1980 playing it to accrue that many hours.

No. He did not have to spendd that much time playing.
Your math is all wrong.
It is simple really. He just lied.
My guess is that the basement in which his mother lets him live has lately been seeming very sad.
So he has created an awesome persona. Of course he can not imagine actually being someone so the closest he could come up with is an uber simulation pilot.

Sad really.

^ This is my thoughts exactly. All I really need is a limited external view to look at my battle damage, paint jobs etc. It's been done in flight sims for ages so no real reason not to implement it for MWO... but a full on 3D person view with working HUD, cross-hairs etc...just NO!
