Okay, I voted no because it would ruin the game, but a 3rd person PLAYBACK mode would be kind of cool. You know, after the match, go back and watch it from different angles to see how everyone has killed me. It would be like film study that sports team do.

For sure. Replay of the fight would be amazing.

and to also point out, that was 5,100 total votes, when the total displayed members is 450,000 and we already have confirmation that the number displayed is lower than the actual number of players/accounts for this game.

we also have REPEATED confirmation from the devs that the tracker for the forums means nothing to the population in the game. Remember that imfamous graph that everyone read way too much into?
And Im sorry, but them taking away the in game population counter then telling us the reason for it was because there was "no good business reason" for us to know how many players there are isnt a GOOD sign.

I think adding a 3rd Person view for the Testing Grounds only would be the best bet.

I will say it again. There is the this law that is almost universally upheld the world over. Truth in advertising. It states in a nutshell: Any product being placed for sale, or given out for public consumption or use must make a clear listing of all features, and advertise in a truthful and clear way as to make certain that any prospective customer can make a fully informed decision to buy or use or avoid such a product.

To be blunt, when founders went on sale, all we knew was this: No 3rd person. This was listed on the website, and still is listed. It was also stated by an employee in good standing, posting from his WORK account, giving his full credit as Lead Designer saying that the game is designed to be 100% first person only, as 3rd person breaks the key design pillar of 1st person only on multiple levels.

Those two facts, which will be linked, HAVE been linked many times over prove this. To do anything like 3rd person is a breach of contract to us as we paid for a product that was advertised one way. Scoff all you want saying, it is THEIR product, they can do what ever, we did not have to pay. Blah blah, they advertised it one way, and to do anything other opens litigation liability. period.

again... youre surprised when something they say turns out to be BS a few months later

Honestly? kind of. I expected a ton more from a company so young and that was willing to tackle a monumental project like this. Fact is, this franchise is 30 years old and deserves a lot more than what this game is right now.

which ultimately condemns this title to failure, if they cannot respect such a beloved franchise.

I can see PGI's answer to this.
Standard view is first person, but for the low low price of 5000 MC you can purchase third person view.

Now this is not P2W, the community read that wrong, because for 15,000 GXP you can upgrade your first person view to second person, which is just like being the person sitting in the lap of the pilot, it's pretty much the same thing.

hey also said: 1st person is a KEY DESIGN PILLAR, and 3rd person breaks that pillar on multiple levels.
