What view do you use?[ 57 votes ]
1. 1st Person 3 / 5%
2. 3rd Person 33 / 58%
3. A bit of either, depending on the situation 21 / 37%

The poll is pretty self-explanatory, but why do you use the view you do?


And if it's a bit of either, what circumstances prompt you to use a different view-point?

Mostly 3rd person but sometimes while shooting uphill or in tricky spots the reticle will glitch, that's when I use first person.

I use first most of the time. Don't really have a reason other than it is the default and I never think to switch.

And 3rd person is good for sniper because of free aim

3rd person is a different game than 1st person.

For the first 2 or 3 years of me playing Renegade, I swore by 1st person and never tried 3rd. However, once I went to 3rd, I began playing much better than I ever did before.

So now I use 3rd 95% of the time.

Thats about what i was going to say to. i started out in 1st person but once I discovered the advantages of 3rd person its what I use most of the time. I do switch back from time to time but not often.

Pretty much for me too. 3rd person seems easier to get a hit because of the V key.

I usually use third person for walking around but I usually switch back to first person for when I'm shooting someone.

I'm the bawss.

Like people have said, 3rd person gives you a better view around, but i also use it cos i've now used it so much that 1st person just feels wrong.

3rd person because not only can you see around corners, but you could run around and jump in battle without your screen shaking as much as in first person.

I have never been able to us free aim, if anything it makes my aiming worse.

I personally prefer a mix of both depending on the situation ofcourse. 3rd person is usually the default because your aim doesnt have to be perfect in order to hit a target. As long as the target comes within the trajectory of the player's gun and the reticle its a lot easier to hit. However when sniping, and by that I mean actual sniping and not jumping up and down while you're within a meter of your targer; I prefer to use first person for pin point accuracy. Using first person is also very useful when when you're behind cover and want to shoot from just beyond the cover. I also prefer using first person with the pistol just because it becomes easier to actually aim at the head and gurantee a hit on the head rather then being in 3rd person and trying to guess the trajectory by shooting above the player to hit their head.

3rd person is also my default for the obvious reason of being able to peak around corners as it makes it much easier to suprise people. Not to mention that you do actually see a lot more in third person then in first person.

Same, and 3rd is not only good for sniper because of free aim, it's the best against automatic weapons
