first person or third person?

[Badpox]

First person, makes everything easier (aiming,capping etc.)

 

[Ucantry2run]

I always use third, seems more beneficial than first.

Well, that explains alot.

 

[Wuzgud]

I'm almost always in 3rd person. Definitely makes aiming easier for me.

 

[WildFire]

MAJOR DIFFERANCE:

First person, but with the weapon removed to give me a greater view of the surrounding, so it is really a 'middle path'

 

[Application-1]

First person when you got the hange of it you will kill more and be just as good in capping as in 3rd person.

Definitely 3rd person for skiing and capping so my legs don't hit things and I don't land on a hill the wrong way, but if I need precision aiming while chasing or dueling I use first person.

I usually play Legions myself than let any 1st or 3rd person play it for me(what the hell that even means).

Hmm, never played Tribes or Legions, the little I did play, in anything but 1st person view. I never played on Flag, but thinking about it I could see a benefit of being 3rd person to be able to see yourself better in relation to incoming cappers when it comes to body blocking. I am not sure how anyone could mine/disc effectively in 3rd person, but again thats from my Tribes experience and may not apply here.

Regards capping, never gave it much thought. I just always did it in 1st person, however, if there is a benefit to be had by doing it in 3rd person, hell I'll have a look!! One benefit I can think of by going 3rd person is possibly having a better sense of direction on your chaser by seeing the angle of the trajectory of his chains and grenades etc.. I shall try it out...

A couple of you mentioned chaining. I am the WORST CHAINWHORE on the planet so I am very interested to know why some of you say 3rd person for chaining. Is there a benefit to this?

Can the point-of-view select be hotkeyed and potentially scripted to say switch when you switch to chain?

Yes.

First = the right way to play "FPS"
Third = idk, its kinda a cheat in my eyes
but as to how i play, first all the way. Whackin your head off a building entrence at 180m/s , missing the slope on a hill to gain speed , all because your have to guess where your character is. Thats some of the great fun you miss in 3rd

 

[RiPTaCk]

3rd person! Why? Because i can..

I see what you did there...

 

[Esuke-L]

I see the benefits of both, Though I spend more time in 1st person, if it calls for it i'll switch to 3rd..I chain better in 3rd anyhow, though as I generally shoot long range with rockets, seeing my targets easier with 1st

Seriously, this is not funny anymore. There are underaged people on these forums!

Yes!! & you're confusing them with your nasty mind!

Lol @ "I chain better in 3rd though" XD

 

[TheDudeWithTude]

I'd prefer first person, more accuracy it seems.

 

[DeadPixel]

agreed with doom, after all, Legions is a FPS shooter eh?

Can't believe your still around.

 

[57thRomance]

When I first started playing this game, I never knew there was a third person until a few months later. After that, I began using it a lot more for capping and such.

 

[Immanent]

Of course I'm still around! I'm guessing, because I fail at picking up internet sarcasm, that is not a good thing.
