Third person, a topic i was fine with when i joined back to the server a few days ago until it dawned on me that a LOT of people abuse it to the point i wanted to express my feelings on this subject.
Obviously since i just joined you might think i have no "experience" with said topic, but if any of you remember old csdesert garnet, there was a reason why almost everyone hated third person.... ABUSERS. I can assure you this post is legit and not a rational decision from me.
I want to point out im not making this post to frustrate people that use this feature frequently, im just pointing out mine and others outlook on it that believe it could potentially be removed or revamped.
Im stating this in two different options (removal/revamped) because i know for a fact the select individuals who do abuse this will defend third person to the death, so im up for the option of fixing it or removing it.
Pleased dont be biased towards this if you use it regularly, provide actual evidence and/or statements that regard to this post. Ways to fix Third-person (suggestions/thoughts) 1. Making it a locked third-person for everyone.
Doing this will allow a more balanced system compared to the current third-person. Many new privates and even higher ranks dont know that you can use F6 to configure it so its not the default one. Although configuring third person is good for moving it to right shoulder or left, i think that the one option to make it higher should be taken away. 2. Making the player unable to shoot in third-person
Although this will be a controversial option, this can reduce the overuse of pre-firing over hills, obstacles and etc. One of the more annoying things that comes with third person is pre-firing in general while in third person, ive noticed many times in wars that its nearly impossible to counter people that pre-fire you over a hill your running up (the enemy being at the apex of the hill).
3. Removing third-person
This will be my last option since like i stated above this option will be the most heavily disagreed on. Ive already stated most of my points on why it should be removed in suggestions "1." and "2." but wanted to summarize quickly for the people who skimmed through my sloppy writing fast. Pre-firing: people at the apex of a hill with thirdperson on ready to pre-fire said target. How high you can make third person: One thing i know everyone that abuses third person have set (pretty much you cant counter this if the enemy is smart about it) , although this was abused in early garnet, it is happening again (this is the exact reasoning on why it was removed ages ago). In the end, since im joining back to the community, i want to see balance in the server and not see small things people can abuse, wanted to point this out so you guys know im not making this out of pure frustration nor to cause an uproar and negativity in this post.
