Please Give Us Third-Person Back

Recommended Posts

I tried. I really tried to use first-person, but it can't be done. I can't tell what my character's stance is, most light sources are now completely useless (as if playing in the dark wasn't hard enough?) and on top of all that, my eyeballs are vomiting from the shaky camera (I can't watch 3D movies either). Motion-sickness is not rare, and when that unpleasant experience is being given to me in the name of immersion, I'd say immersion has been taken too far.

AFAIK you can turn off the camera-shake when walking, check the game-options.

Aside from that, you'll get used to first person soon enough (regarding character stance and whatnot).

At any rate, this is much better than having people peek around corners using the third person camera, without having to expose themselves. That can be very annoying in pvp.

Head bob in options lowers the shakyness according to your preference.

I for one wont play on any server with spacebar spotting or third person.

Third person is a sever option, US3 and US4 are the only 2 set in first person as far as I know. Just go to another server.

Play, play and play with 1st person, u get used to it. And the immersion factor is so much better with it. 3rd person mode doesn't fit PvP gameplay at all. It will be abused.
