Third-Person camera?

[Spartan]

I played this on Nintendo Switch maybe a year ago and you were able to switch back and forth between first-person and third-person. Can you do this on PC or no? If so, which key is it? I can't seem to find the keybind in the options menu.

I remember it being really easy to change back and forth on Switch. Like it was mapped to one of the buttons by default.

They removed third person last patch

Aww, just my luck. :/

Third-person camera was awesome because you could see your character, but you could also switch back to first-person if you wanted to aim better or play more seriously. Not even Overwatch let you do that.

Hero shooter characters are so expressive and pretty-looking and nicely animated, it's a shame only other players get to see your favorites while you're playing them. I really disliked that about Overwatch since you could only see them when you emote. But Paladins used to be the alternative.

Do you know why they removed it?

Why did they remove this? It's the only reason I played. I just reinstalled before I knew that they removed it, guess I'm uninstalling it again. What a waste of money. I only bought skins because I could play in 3rd person and actually see them, unlike most other games. This change is a huge middle finger to people that spent money. Repost to raise awareness.

No lags for premium accounts and its possible to use 3rd person.
But only today, 1st April

So you showing to me your middle finger? I play since beta, it wasn't such thing as 3rd person, and i spent a lot. Speak for yourself.

For me 3rd person allowed for to much advantage over cover and overall. 3rd Person also came with its own wave of problems. I recall a time playing Term where he had his arm bent in your face whenever you used his vortex and his ax hurt box was smaller in 3rd.

I used to enjoy Thirdperson as the Infected in L4D but it was removed there too because the infected players were using it to see around corners without revealing themselves to the Survivors.

Likely the same reason here, but I agree it's ♥♥♥♥ because I would like to see what I've payed for ingame.

All they have to do is make it optional to use from the settings menu. Allow users to switch back and forth, there was no real reason to removed it. Just another MMO game where they do what they want.

I stop spending money on this game, buying skins is pointless. I just play for free every so often , that's it.

they just too lazy to fix any bugs. Soon they will remove the game itself I guess since the server is at its peak lag and delay as F

Too much advantage for well skilled third person players

but i kinda miss it even though i hated to take advantage of corner ambush

Third person was the only way to play Terminus.

[QuantumVoid]

But it's not available in ranked. Who cares about "skilled third person players" in casual?
