So.... if you are bored (or is it board?), does that mean if we take you to a bar to get you hammered you would get nailed? And if it were a bent nailed, would that mean we would have something to crow about the bar?

Since I am on a roll, let me butter you up more...
Arcane Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 15:45:57
Gink,

You have to look at the smiley names to see what I was really saying. I was having too much fun with it

I was bored... hmm come to think of it I still am
GinkoOMO Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 15:35:55
I LOVE 3RD PERSON VIEW LOL.

Peace

Ginko

Dam Arcane thats alot of smiley's :)
Petrified-OMO Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 15:31:09
I only like 3rd person to get a view of the mech I am driving. Other than that, when I played, I played in first person.
Aged Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 15:11:09
I was mostly responding to Ginko and his question about why I hate it so much.

Now, if they implement 3rd person view they way the roof camera is done in NR2002, that would be an improvement IMO.
PacemakerOMO Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 14:56:07
AGed i really ment that to be a joke ,, i hate 3rd person view with a passion , because i think that i can play the game better than most, to me its like racin against some one who races in that 3rd person mode u r at a disadvantage at that point
Aged Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 14:12:13
If they'd bring the camera position down to the top of the chassis (so that you'd have to expose your position in order to see your target - just like a 1st person view pilot has to do), I wouldn't have any problem with 3rd person view at all.

Too many people were abusing the advantage in BK. With the longer range of many of the Mercs weapons, the situation could get worse. It's very frustrating to get shot by somebody at their max weapons range that you never see until it's too late - even when you're radar is off.
Arcane Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 13:34:13
Oh I almost forgot (not really I just want to be back in the top 10 list)

I hate 3rd person for the same reason I hate games like Laura Croft or Max Payne (also 3rd person). They get in the way of suspension of reality (for me).

Besides I'm to and to even consider using 3rd person. I know you would all run if I did cause I would all of you if you ever were in my . It would be so that I would just have to or

Arcane Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 13:24:02
Gink, let me say first of all I agree with your position.

The real issue at hand though (and one that we have discussed at length before until most of us are of it) is that 3rd person perspective allows a significant advantage over 1st person.

Personally, I like that disadvantage. In my and twisted mind it means that if I can stay somewhat competative then I've got l33t skills (I know... I'm just foolin myself but hey it works for me and I'm the )
GinkoOMO Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 13:12:04
If you dont like the third person view, just dont use it. Im very confussed.

Peace

Ginko
PacemakerOMO Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 10:31:12
Aged may be you need to start a discussion board on why you have so many repressed and deep seated feelings toward 3rd person view
ButtcraxOMO Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 06:09:04
I still cant see the third personn
Batty Posted - Nov 20 2002 : 02:43:07
Those of us with no spatial awarness need this view - that's my view - not a 3rd persons.
