Will Battlefield 1 have 3rd person view?

Battlefield 1 General Discussion
1

This option has increased my enjoyment of Battlefront so much! Will it be a choice in the new Battlefield game?

Also would you want it personally?

2

it will b a cool idea if works smoothly but fans are wayyy comfortable with 1st person.

I would love it if they added this, I use to be big into fps but the last 2 big games I’ve played have been 3Rd person shooters and would love to be able to switch between the 2!
I’m guessing this won’t be a feature unfortunately :frowning:

You’ll only see 3rd person view options in vehicles (classic or assisted mode). This is an FPS btw.

5

I hope this is a FPS game like all other big Battlefield titles are. It would be very surprising if they changed the genre of the franchise. I would definetly not like it, but hey thats me.

Battlefield 1 is a first person shooter.

Thank god for that.. and EA DICE ^^ thx for info btw, had not checked for myself yet.

Yeah I agree. Star Wars battlefront was *** because of 3 personview. With 3 personview you could see behind covers and corners. As I said that wloud be flatout if they added that. Have a nice day!!!

Would* can’t write

10

Yeah why not . something different would be nice

11

No I wouldn’t really want a mix like Battlefront, it should just stick to first person, its an FPS.

Thanks for the response!

In that case I hope they can add a FOV slider, because the tightness of standard console first person view can often make my eyes feel uncomfortable.

Battleifled 4 had a wealth of options and Battlefront shows that the engine can handle a wider FOV, so hopefully this is something the devs consider!

While it is technically possible and I would like to have it, it would be bad for development in a game that a weapon misalignment or possibility for problems with animations would be a big issue

14

Misalignment of weapons was an issue in battlefront

15

It has pretty much been an issue in every game that has tried to combine both FPS and 3PS

I do understand why it tends to happen, but here I hope that someday we can get a game that can do both properly without issues

I feel 3rd person view can grant too many advantages that may take from the tactical element of the game.
You can for example hide behind a wall next to an open path and see what’s on the other side without being spotted, allowing you to more easily take out enemy troops.
