3rd person mode?

[ArlinRenamon]

I know this is quite a bit to ask out of a first person shooter, but I was wondering if there would ever be a 3rd person view mode implemented into the game?

I only ask this because it's a game where you play as your favorite Ghost in the Shell characters. These are legendary anime characters that are just badass to look at.

Personally I prefer 3rd person to 1st, despite my love for this game. I'd even pay for it as DLC honestly.

Now people can argue and say that it would break the game with corner peeking.

Well Saito can alreadyu see everyone on the map once his ability is active, and that seems fine, granted it is his special ability.

The idea is food for thought, and I just wanted to throw it out there.

with third person you can see around corners this would be broken. Unless everyone was also in third person

I did say that within my post. The way I see it being fair is either to make it a game mode, or make it an option that you can turn on or off at will.

There were some threads about this in the past.

Don't think it will happen, simply because:
1: much effort, that the devs should be putting into more important things.
2: peeking around corners with 3rd person is a no-no for lots of people who want a more competitive tactical shooter instead of something like battlefront.
3: Saito argument is not good enough, as the skill is indeed a limited time + there might be changes to his skill or other operative skills to counter him better compared to now.

[ArlinRenamon]

Fair point I suppose. The argument at this point is quite redundant.

I thought about this a few weeks ago. I hate demo, but enjoy watching the gameplay. But with a 3rd person view, you can bet someone will use it for cheating. Jump on teamspeak and start coaching members.

I don't know about him, but ARMA/DayZ has this feature.

temporary 3rd person camera could be neat as a character ability for a new character? Some sort of "cyber senses" type thing?

Simply put - the chances of this becoming a reality are below 0.01%.

meh, it's an fps not a tps.

also, fixing a wall hack with another type of wall hack does not fix the issue.
