5cent_at_NY 0 Posted January 14, 2007 since ive played ArmA demo, ive noticed that i have no fear during every combat. i had same experience when i played OFP. and i come to thinking that is just because I know where the enemys are... by using 3rd person view. so how about remove that "3rd person view" feature? ...at least when player is on foot? i know this can be turn on/off by the difficulty settings but, im just a human ya know... i think this will makes infantry firefight in ArmA lil bit tactical... i mean it forces players to use their heads (especially in urban combat). it will also makes ppl use that new "lean" feature more. we will become fear to getting shot when we pop off from behind cover, cuz we cant look over the cover. "think before you move" will be more important element for ArmA gameplay. as i said, i know there's option to disable this feature. however there's no option to force all players to turn it off in MP game, and if i can use it, i'll use it afterall. so it would be great for me if BIS has removed this feature "offically". how do you think?

5cent_at_NY 0 Posted January 14, 2007 Yes. but as i said, i just wanna BI to remove this feature, even from the option menu... i mean, just like GR - Ghost Recon (which one that released 2001 of course, not that "arcade" GRAW). original GR was so great as OFP(plz don't get me wrong. im not gonna make any flames like which game is great or suck or blah blah blah...). GR was "just one bullet ends your life" game, as same as OFP. also AI has high accuracy just like OFP. but unlike OFP/ArmA, i couldn't use the 3rd person view. it forced me keep behind cover all time, even when i try to ambush them (they even use suppressive fire when they were attacked). so i just thought if we couldn't use that view "totally", we'll be more carefull when we make next move... yeah, just imo.

Victor_S. 0 Posted January 14, 2007 Why... You want the feature removed because you are tempted to use it. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertfox 2 Posted January 14, 2007 Pointless. Especially because 3rd person view can be disabled server-side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5cent_at_NY 0 Posted January 14, 2007 oh, come on. i don't mean i tempted to use that feature... when i played some MP game last night, me and my teammate encountered enemy squad in the urban area. two guys took cover behind a wall, so i moved around the whole block to flank em while my friend keep suppress em. when i lean from the building corner, i saw those two guys standing against wall... and they keep turning round 'n' round behind the wall. im sure these guys try to peek at us without expose their head... by using 3rd person view. i think this is not fair (and not realistic) at all. it is definitly smartest way to see what's goin on over the corner or wall. but this feature is making new "lean" feature almost useless afterall... however i undearstand why they did it. just think about that if you don't need to expose you from behind cover at the risk of your life, why the hell you should? well, asking the question like this to you is really stupidest things ive ever had. sorry. i admit.

Mr Sarkey 0 Posted January 14, 2007 Ask admin to disable it on the server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan9of9 0 Posted January 14, 2007 i agree,it should be removed. who then actually uses 3rd person in this "REALISTIC" :P game, you all claim? so if you find yourself thinking,we dont use it.why is it there? and therefore,should be removed to save cheating little shits online. specially since cam scripts can be made for videos,so no need to have it for that either.

raedor 8 Posted January 14, 2007 Closing: Pretty pointless thread. You can switch this feature off, if you don't want to use it. There already have been threads about ArmA being too difficult... No game is real as long as you stay alive after your ingame character died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
