Battlefield 4 allows you to change the view perspective to third person when you presses melee button. Is that going to be a thing in Battlefield 1. I personally do not care, but if I can remove it, I would remove that feature.
It might be on certain game modes such as normal, not sure about others like hardcore…not sure what game modes will be available either haha.
Personally I allways thougt of it as a usefull option but not a necessity (prefer HC anyway). Also came across an interesting way of handling it in a game called “Heroes and Generals”. There, if you change to third person in a tank, your character will open the hatch and observe the area while exposing his upper body. This gives you a better perspective for maneuvering but makes you a good target for enemy infantry. Really liked that tradeoff as a concept.
They need to go back to the BF2/2142 system were it was multiple views I believe a total of 4, this forces you to cycle through them all before returning to FPS View, which is a good trade off to not make it OP. I do also support the quick rear view for planes, it makes the dog fights more interesting. Again BF2/2142 system that also made a come back in BF4 after the CTE updates.
It will prob be the same as BF4. Normal mode gives you the option. Hardcore means only 1st person
3rd person is key for scanning the area and just makes it so much easier to drive tanks, especially when you tend to get stuck on pebbles and wooden fence posts in BF.
Not having 3rd person would make tanking a chore honestly. Considering there are tank designs in WW1 that dont even have 360 degree swiveling turrets, I’d say 3rd person view is essential to make tanks enjoyable and viable.
1st person ftw. May take some skill but overall adds to the experience since it makes you feel the heaviness of the tank and the power behind every shot fired. just my personal opinion. Pretty shure it will be the same as in bf3 and 4 anyway.
I miss the rear view since bf3
