One thing good about third person view is it allows for awareness of the battlefield Since we are not there you can't feel like someone is sneaking up on you, or know with high accuracy of what direction the person is coming from. However it should not be something so bland in this game. Which is why I believe they have announced a drown that you shoot out of your mech to view the battlefield.

You know me well enough that I am a straight shooter. AT THIS TIME THEIR IS NO TRUE ACTIONS TAKEN TOWARD 3RD
PERSON. One comment was make and all hell breaks lose. How about some great things that have been done to improve the game.

We want bigger maps and some whine that it is to big. Gods dart, listen too yourselves.

Sadly, PGI doesn't seem to care.

Really? Because it has not been added, nor have I seen a statement saying "it will definitely be added".

So... I'd be interested in knowing what you base this claim on. Perhaps you can link me to a statement which confirms that 3rd person will 100% definitely be added?

Its a bad idea and entirely frivolous.

Dont have a link but pgi did say that if they add it that it will be in a way it wont effect those that dont want to use it. The only way that is possible is separate queues and the current game population further dividing queues could be very bad.

If.

And if they do add it, I would want it to be in a way that doesn't affect me - and mixing 3rd & 1st person players in the same match would affect me.

Regardless, my point still stands. I have yet to see confirmation that 3rd person will 100% definitely be added.

not again...

They also said in their press releases to get funding that 3rd person would never be added to keep the game a simulator. So you can glean whatever from either of those statements and use any size font you want. The fact remains that them thinking about it is a 180 from what they said they would not do. It doesnt really matter because they will do what they want regardless of our input or larger than life text.

Technically adding it is the opposite of not adding it.

Thinking about how it would be done if it were done is not.

[Viper69]

Im merly saying what they said is all. Make interpretations as to its meaning and time can be the only thing to say what happens.

Can't we get 4th person view?

Why not innocent bystander view?

Maybe a camera gun?

Fire it out and when it lands you get a small degree of pitch / twist on it?




Actually... that could be interesting. It could have an interesting affect on ambush strategies, etc.

[Viper69]

Can i get a rear view camera? My neighbors soccer wagon has one.

[Relic1701]

I only have one word on the subject...

[MW Waldorf Statler]

Also in the video we see recon drone support, Is it still planed to implement such drones and if so how would that effect the scout role of LIght pilots?
A: Yes. We have plans to add a UAV. It will complement the scout role.

Fastidious: On NGNG Mechs Devs and Beer #8 Paul mentions replays. Can you provide any more details or vague implementation dates about replays and spectating? Specifically it would be great to be able to spectate before dying (perhaps spectator slots).
A: It’s a reach goal. No firm plans. Better/more camera options for spectacting is a possibility. We’re always sensitive to dead players giving an unfair advantage to those living.

match replay, kill cams and the dead can't talk to the living are all things that need to go in

external spectatormode: yes

This would lead to situations where you have a Spotter and a Gunner.


What could be good, would be a dashboard cockpit item, that would be a 3D hologram of your mech in its current pose. It would be included on all trial mechs, and could be bought with MC for those who want it on their regular mechs. This would help teach new players about what they're doing with their mech, and could show you your own paintjob later, if you wanted it.

This won't work, because teams can use teamspeak servers. This will happen even if MWO gets built-in VOIP. So us puglife players shouldn't be the only ones penalized by losing the ability to haunt the living.
