Charge MC for 3rd person. Take it to the next level.

[Orgasmo]

Yes, press Alt and F4 for third person view.

Enjoy!

I wouldnt be surprised anymore

Why do you want 3rd person? Do you need 3rd person when you drive a car,or ride a bike, or walk? Try Mechassault on x-Box, you will love it.

i wouldn't care if there was or wasn't a 3rd person option. i've always been in the cockpit even tho camera toggle was on MW2-3-4. simply seeing your own big stompy thing on the screen blocks you view and is stupid so i never used it. however if it helped other players and attact new ones then why not have it as an option. just don't make it the only view that would really suck. the way things are these days pgi needs the number boost even if it's a cheese mode option.

The devs have mentioned that they are thinking about implementing 3rd person view based on minimal feedback from somewhere or other. Then there was an avalanch of current MWO gamers that complained loudly about it and a few that said they would like it.

It might happen, but I don't think it is a priority right now.

Make death mode 3rd person.

Who cares.

3rd person game play will "lol" this game into the dustbin.

[Viper69]

They will put it in, just like they went Open Beta even though every CBT told them its not ready. Bottom line is they listen to the marketing guys who tell them they can squeeze a few more pennies onboard if they put in an arcade mode 3rd person view. So yes they will have it, dont be surprised if its in before community warfare also.

Because it was the only game around I would assume?

There are more entertaining titles these days for people to waste their time on.

We don't want or need pop tarting and the ability to see over terrain we shouldn't be able to see fro the cockpit.

blah blah blah is all I hear from 3rd person advocates.

[SlXSlXSlX]

If you charged mc for 3rd person, some would pay it. Some would leave but, those people might not play without it regardless.

Heck, if you offered a variety of rear view mirrors for mc, they would be top sellers. People want peripheral vision.

If I was driving a mech, something you all were supposed to be simulating here, I would def mod my mech a mirror of some kind to allow me to look behind me.

Weird that some of the new features showing up on popular car models today, havn't been invented in battle tech lore by 3050.

D:

Some will say, a mirror, that is absurd. BT lore makes no mention of "mirrors". I say, have you seen a cockpit decked in happy new years items yet? By comparison, its rationale and practical. Any real sim fans think this is crossing the line?

yeah it is a bit i'd like to see surroundings better and yadda yadda which goes against the sim princible but it's odd that most sims offer these views and can you really say the game would go down the toilet because of it?

Bernard: how about how about a game we'll make a game!

Manny: bad netcode

Bernard: perfect!

Manny: ummmm hit detection with Lag

Manny: small maps and only 2 game modes

Bernard: solid gold! solid gold!

Manny: not all content available and some that's there greatly throws gameplay off balance

Bernard: this had better be good manny this had better be...

Manny: and then and then 3rd person is introduced....
