Do you want the 3rd person to have aiming ability's yes or no

Do you want the 3rd person to have aiming ability's yes or no

YES So do you want it like Phylon a 3rd person shooter + FPS = Yes

or

NO Old Endless Ages FPS only with aim and 3rd person can be still used and such but no cross hair or aiming ability. = No

I voted no for few reasons.
1) I think its cheap in pvp and could take away the experince that some may have in pure FPS
2) I think it could be used to exploit even more and I'm hoping exploits are fixed but anyway I think maybe used to exploit a little better such as seeing through maps and maybe around corners while shooting maybe a little cheap...

Thats just me maybe does not make sense but I rather have the ability go into 3rd person always fun when flying and moving around then back to FPS while shooting..

What about you?

From the screenshots, it would appear as if a third person crosshair has already been implemented. =)

We deffenitly have to keep the FPS!!!

But it's also cool to keep the 3ed person with the cross hairs.. altho Pylon was uterly ****ed up it made aiming to hard. so if that would be affected I would keep it the origonal Beta/Gold way.

I personally think that 3rd person view is unnecessary for ranged combat. However, for melee it is an absolute necessity.

People with guns should not be able to look around a corner without exposing themselves. It simply opens up too much of a possibility for ambush.

na 3rd person was good how it was, no aimer. Puting this in not only makes the game slightly more like Phylon :O:O:O:O but takes away the FPS aspect which tbh is the best bit!

Well i was going to say something about the 3rd person aim in Phylon sucking #$@%$ but others beat me to it. Old EA views were fine for me! PVP was just too fast paced for 3rd person view.
