So as I understand it the game will be locked in first person veiw, will there/can there be some way for a third person veiw. My reasoning behind it would be to help formations keep cohesion while offering a betterfied of vision. If you look at the kick starter video you see the men suddenly form into column and then a line, I know some of those where devs but a few must have been ai and being a member if my high school marching band, I know that to keep in formation you would need to use your peripheral vision. Since this is a game I don't see how players could do that kind of formations on the go, much less form a perfect line like that.
Mainly I say this due to the many NW, NAS regs I have been in, and in my expirences it just isn't practical to be first person when its time to be in formations, on the go and to an extent in a fight. Now when we do get to the point that regiments start forming, I don't know about any one else but I like to take/be part of in game regimental photos and in the past to either take them or be in and take you need to be either in spec or 3rd person.
Now for the folks who will scream realism, I know. However I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this, and from a new player stand point it would be beneficial for the new people to see the regiments/sqauds/armies in formation so that they can learn, if they can't see I then they won't do it, and being a fps you will still have those not in regs/armies ect who will go the call of duty mentality, so to keep an eye for rambos it would be a good idea for 3td person veiw to keep an eye out.
I'm sure this may have been discussed but I want to get feedback. Thanks for reading.
