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? ---

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 ☹ ---

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

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. ---

> [@ThePoolshark](#): > > Battlefield 1 is a first person shooter. 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!!! ---

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

> @ThePoolshark said: > Battlefield 1 is a first person shooter. 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 ---

Misalignment of weapons was an issue in battlefront ---

> [@ThePoolshark](#): > > Misalignment of weapons was an issue in battlefront 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.
