Whatsausername 119 Posted May 18, 2013 It is a very good Idea, really, but in a 3D game it would look visually awful, I think.If you manage it to look aesthetically well, it would be golden.A foggy-like thing sounds good, but it would look totally unrealistic. Suggestions? world of tanks has this implemented. personally im not a fan of it but it will definitely help stop the abuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IncognitoNico 71 Posted May 18, 2013 If they going to do this they might aswell remove third person altogether because people want 3rd person because being able to see around corners, so if you do not have that possibility people would not use third person Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Bean 175 Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) If they going to do this they might aswell remove third person altogether because people want 3rd person because being able to see around corners, so if you do not have that possibility people would not use third personSorry to say so, but your weird assumption couldn't be more wrong.The real reason is that 1st person is annoying as hell for the most time. If they would improve the aiming in 3rd person, many would favour it over 1st person.BtwMany games today sadly do not deliver a ability to switch into 3rd or 1st person mode, which is an awesome feature of Arma 2. So why taking away a feature that makes the game outstanding? Because everyone loves the average trash and hates cool features? Na, comeon, there are loads of people who love to run around in 3rd person, there's no reason to take it away, except that peeking around corners thing.Just imagine how aweful limited your perception is in the 1st person compared to your perception in real life.

methr1k2dop3 323 Posted May 18, 2013 or just learn to play in third person and hotkey camera switch.so you can easily pop in and out of third person to take advantage of this OP third person veiw.problem solved plus imo, third person is more realistic. you get a better feel of your surroundings that first person just can't capture. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not an advocate for removing 3rd person, it is not more "realistic" you can change the FOV from the settings. 3rd person lets you see far more than you really would. like I said I don't support removing 3rd person but I also don't support abusing the feature to see around corners.

liquidmind 320 Posted May 18, 2013 The whole 1st person vs. 3rd person thematic is old by now.. It's all about PvP vs. PvE. Some people like to play it competitive, they fear being spotted by enemies. Others like to experience the einvironment, loot stuff and build a future. Those are two entirely different play-styles that will never work together. So in the end, there has to be either a first person and a third person version, so both player-types can enjoy standalone or some will be disappointed.

Mullraugh 1151 Posted May 18, 2013 I doubt the dev team are going to do anything with third person. Great idea, but I can't see them actually doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
