1st Person vs 3rd Person

[mobo]

I'm having trouble deciding which to pick. Which one do you think is better and why?

[Pig on steroids]

3rd person

[-IGF-SueKrueger13]

both

[Lightning78th]

you can switch between them in game. forget wich key though. As the game lacks vehcile interiors unlike the first one, I usualy don't play in first person.

i go both for me it doesent matter i still die any way

[Soup]

First person for the scope whenever I'm sniping or shooting from afar. Third person for every other situation.

[highfivingbears]

First person for everything I can. I know how to play in first person very well,as that was all I played on while plaing BF1 or BF2 PS2 version

3

On console I swore by third person, but it just feels awkward playing that way with keyboard and mouse. If you have a controller I would suggest third person. Otherwise first person works better.

[Hiteomaus]

first if sniping. you can zoom in more eficently. third for everything else.

[WickedRequiem]

First person.
It just seems more "natural".

But if you just want to know what's most effective, probably the third person since you get a bigger fov than the 1st person perspective.

For space combat, though, always third person. Lack of cockpit makes it a no brainer.

Third-person is what the game was chiefly developed for. The low first-person FOV and awkward animation (when rolling, or the delay after throwing a grenade that, if you switch to third-person, shows your character pulling his gun out again) prove that much. If you're going to snipe, go first-person, otherwise, third-person is the best way to play.

I only have third person for jet-troopers first person covers everything else ;)

[Morkonan]

Third person, definitely. The field of view is too limited in first-person, like it is with most FPS games. Considering SWBF's playstyle, third person gives you a significant advantage over first peson.

[Hikage]

I think First is so much easier on PC but if you have a gamepad go for 3rd.

To switch perspectives during gameplay, you jsut have to press "v". It doesn't work on Jedi though.
