How about an ADDITIONAL third-person view ?

it would be like : choose before spawn which point of view u want to have

You mean like a Resident Evil 4/Gears of War sorta third person view? Wouldn't be a bad idea, actually. Maybe as a mutator or something.

yep like that

I dont really see any point for this, you can already tweak the range and angle of the existing third person mode too so it would be closer the player. And the problem with third person mode is that you can actually aim up or down so youd be screwed in seconds. Not sure if that can be changed with a mutator but if so I wouldve expected someone to have made it already.

thats why im starting this I HAVE NO IDEA of scripting and so on so its only a idea and suggestion, but im pretty sure its possible and it wouldnt be any disadvantage for anyone so... why not ?

6 people voting against it.... Why? They wouldn't have to use it if you didn't want to.

I think it is kinda "OP" if you ask me I've seen loads of games having third person view where it is used to look around corners and such. and dont forget that you will have better "know abouts" what is coming on your right and left hands. which is very usefull if you are about to get jumped by a clot, a bloat or something.

so I would really like to see this 3rd person view before saying yes. in the meantime I will resume to be sceptical

thought of something linke this :

how would the zoom function be then? since some scopes like the SCAR have superior longrange scopes than the m14EBR scope. having thirdperson view and then go to scope mode would pretty much suck if you ask me. and if there was to be a third person zoom would there come up a magical cursor or something?

didnt thought about that yet... thats my biggest problem,too.
Some suggestions would be nice. but maybe just make a very transparent crosshair like the hud for the diffrent perks... ss would be a dot and support totally no crosshair ? I know some ppl will cry about a "crosshair", but i think its not possible without one (for some perks it is)... just let me know what U and the others that liked the third-person idea thought of ...

Edit : many perks dont even need a aim... u can play them very easy without aiming at any time... (maybe just remove the aim to balance the "peek around corners" which, in my opinion wont even work very well )

Same as Gears of War I guess.

well yeah you could balance it by using diffrent crosshairs. but again I would not have used it either way and I don't know how picky you have to get this mod thingy whitelisted! cuz there is where you want it right? whitelisted?

thought of something linke this :

and yeah this looks ok. its not much you can tweek the cornsers with this kinda view I would say it looks more like a nerf since the guy is blocking most of the screen.

EDIT: his aim is way of the chopper
