ok guys while were waiting lets have a discussion aout who uses what view.

In general if im fighting mobs or walkin about the city im in 3rd person. its eayer to see whats goin on and u can use the scenary better fighting mobs.

i use 1st person view when in pvp as u do get a slide effect with the aim in 3rd person (only slightly) which makes it harder to aim.

Just post what u do and give your thoughts

Third person for everything, sometimes first person if the camera
angle is not good or I can't target something close to me.

Also, almost always thirdperson in open areas, first person in
small areas like mc5 commander room. If your back is against a
wall in thirdperson, it screws with the camera.

First person for everything, except if I want to see how my latest
outfit change looks.

And yes, I'm experimenting with the shorter lines thing as well,
since I must admit those posts are pretty easy on the eyes.

My combat characters are female and have nice butts so I'm always in third person.

Being PPU i like to see whats going on around me in PvP so i usually go 3rd person. However i stick with 1st person in tight areas such as PP due to the dodgy camera angles.

Always 3rd, except when barreling or PPU'ing. With ppu's I've learnt to change and cast a spell according to the movements of the glove. :)

I used to do pretty much everything in 3rd person. I actually was a big fan of 1st and I hated 3rd for a while, but once you get used to it it's way better, especially for PvP.

I used to play a Tank and in 1st person my weapons took up half the screen in 1st, not to mention the reticle would wobble around a ton when I was shooting. In 3rd, you get a better view plus the reticle stays perfectly still.

You just need some practice on it.

Droning: First.

PE/APU: First or third depending on how i feel.

Tank: Almost always third (Third has alot more advanatges vs first for a tank, such as weapon size, recoil etc.).

With my APU, I use 1st person mode mostly when barreling. Hopefully KK fixes the issue with barrels so I can go third person all the way.

With my spy, mostly 3rd person due to recoil. First person only when I'm using the mini rocket launcher.

Anyone noticed that the mini rocket launcher should actually be dual fire? Look at the model and the firing animation at it.
