The ability to change from 1st to 3rd person!

This game should have the ability to change from 1st to 3rd person as, I feel, that would be better :)

I have to agree, I tend to get motion sickness when I play first person.

I think the main problem with third person is everyone kind of has to use it if it gets implemented. You just have a huge tactical advantage with the extra viewable space. The camera has to be zoomed out to a degree so you arent just seeing the back of your own head the whole time.

You get motion sick, go see an eye doctor. 3rd person allows you to quickly scan your surroundings and see behind you, around walls and over obstacles. NO thank you

[Oxameter]

3rd person should be an optional thing for servers. The pvp advantages third person gives wouldn't matter in a pve server where pvp isn't permitted anyway.

[Plant]

Disagree. I don't like third person corner peeking in PvP games.

Nah I don't like that. What I would like though is an option for FOV.

Thank you Einstien, my vision is fine.

[Theking]

problem with it is the same with dayz people change FOV and peek round corners so its way easyer to see them coming

Then give everyone the option, I just tried to play again, I feel like I am going to vomit, it's like getting motion sickness.

This. It is somewhat similar as to why there is no crosshair; to make the survival aspect of the game significant, and force people to not try to treat this game like it's just a shooter. First person perspective is intended to limit your view. If you find it frustrating at times, well, that's the point.

3rd person view is something that does not fit into a game like this in my opinion, currently this is a survival game where it is pvp survival against other players. Having only first person view makes it at least a bit more realistic, third person view would give to many view advantages in a game lik this, going past a corner is a chance to take, you can be shot by doing that, but its how it should be, not like this. "Oh its a corner here, il just stand at the side of the corner and use the third person view to look around the corner to see if its safe or not" This would be wrong and would make the game a lot easier and the would have a big impact on the survival part.

So I am against third person view, but yes, it would be cool. I enjoy third person shooting games, cause its nice to actually be able to see your own character as well while playing so this could have been an option for PvE servers, but disabled on PvP servers.

DayZ has the third person view option, but in my own opinion I think that it has way to much impact on the game, I myself and most i know that plays DayZ uses the third person view tatically to be able to see around corners etc to scout and be ready for players that are coming.

Was there really need to bring this old topic back to up?

Third person mode (or game fully being third person only) is coming... you can test it from experimental branch...

Course, he did say he's only testing it. It could be removed again.

I agree but alot of people say "people cheat" when using 3rd person
