3rd person view

Post by Big Cheese »

I think it would be nice to be able to drive in 3rd person view, like one of the options observers have. do they already have this and/or would it be very easy to implicate?

You know, that would be sort of cheap. It would be easy to see enemy ST tanks sneaking up on you, thus imbalancing the game

Okay, you get a Bic, the orc gets a long sword.

He cuts the Bic in half.

Then he cuts you in half.

Oops, I meant quarters.

I play (Depending on my flag and location) from 0%, on a no-radar server (DUH!), to 99% on a very dark server. Normally, I use both to counter CL and ST, as well as getting high accuracy.

Apparently, you can already have third person view as a build option - it's already available, just nobody utilizes it.

With the introduction of 2.1, everybody will have the option of using the third person view, thus there is no imbalance.

Unless you know what its like to have ST, almost kill someone, then suddenly they find SE and spin around to shoot you,or get SR and squish you.

You don't need to get right up behind someone to kill them. Thats why we have bullets, so you can fire from farther away.
Games don't make people violent, lag does.
