i didn't liked 1st person in the mod, love it now (adjusting FOV and headbob and the much improved textures on the characters and weapons did it for me).. but i use 3rd person from time to time to get a litte variety, to look around the nature and such things. so i do understand why people maybe like playing in 3rd person more than in 1st person. as others mentioned before liking a certain perspective more can't be an arguement against the other one nor for unfair advantages over other players (even if all would be playing in 3rd person.. the guy standing near the wall looking over it still has an advantage over the guy further away). so it really needs improvement and i personally think that there is absolutly no valid argument to leave it as it is now or simply seperate hives. Actually i wouldn't care if they'd remove 3rd person and i do believe that leaving this option ingame was a big mistake BUT the more zoomed in view and lower angle solution would do the job. this would lead to: people can enjoy 3rd person if they want to, nobody has an unfair advantage (AND nobody can bitch about it anymore) plus i believe more and more people would start playing 1st person with this advantage removed from the game
