_Dantheman_ 0 Posted December 26, 2013 Hello everyone! I'm curious about why this game has a third person option. It seems rather odd to me that in such an immersive game like this you can just flip to a 3rd person camera and look around walls and over things without actually looking. I've heard there will be hardcore servers that can disallow it but it still seems odd to me its in the game at all. For the record I really like this game a lot and can't wait to play as it gets better and better (hopefully I can help make it better!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meat pie 632 Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) They will never take it out its something from arma 1 and they kept it to 2 and it was in the mod so they put it in SA. Ya its op but in combat its kinda worthless for me and I keep in first person most of the time. Edited December 26, 2013 by meat pie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dulix11 731 Posted December 26, 2013 Third person...just makes playing alot more 'fun' I guess. I never use it when fighting things, but I almost always use it when travelling. I can only use first person (and I have been alot more recently) with head bob completely disabled. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Dantheman_ 0 Posted December 26, 2013 Ah, sorry, I didn't see any discussion when I searched in the standalone forums. I feel like you do have almost natural range of view in first person though. You can look completely back (almost) with alt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frosti 2165 Posted December 26, 2013 I feel like you do have almost natural range of view in first person though. You can look completely back (almost) with alt. If you have this biggest backpack, green mountain or something it will block your view. But that's the feature of 1st person I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that's the feature of 1st person I guess.Yeah which I feel like is a really great tool for immersion. It makes so much sense and if there was no 3rd person might make you think of what you are wearing in order to not block your vision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Dantheman_ 0 Posted December 26, 2013 Whats the point of all them nice clothes ingame if there wasnt any 3rd person optionTrue! But you can do this in the inventory screen. I guess you can't see how you look in motion though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frosti 2165 Posted December 26, 2013 Whats the point of all them nice clothes ingame if there wasnt any 3rd person option People got butt blasted when they see thread about "no third person" or "1st person" becouse they think people want to block it. And people just want to have servers with 3rd person and 1st person only. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
