Third person or first person?

[Scuba Steve]

Good point, Etown. I remember in Socom 1 (I can't remember if it was in Socom 2, I don't think so) your crosshairs would turn gray if you were not able to shoot over an obstacle you were behind. Situations like these are frustrating, especially if you have an unsupressed weapon and fire at an enemy, only to discover you're hitting the wall you're behind. However, this doesn't happen to me on a daily basis, so it's nothing major, in my opinion.

First person is also good for getting rid of those people who hide behind corners, waiting for you to get close. I admit, I do it, too. I don't go over the edge with it and camp in one spot, but if an enemy is coming towards me, I'll use the advantage of third person and jump out.

Good question! I have to say that I enjoy best of both worlds. As long as I get to shoot em' up I am preaty happy (though a good story line is best [un like Kill Switch]). I have to say though first person is the best. What better way to get into the action (gore and mayhem) than through the eyes of the character? i.e Doom. Would not have been good game at all w/o all the up colse and personal action.

i prefer 3rd person also...more actions and at the same time more challenging than the 1st person

First person shooter is the best

I'll only take 3rd person if it's MGS or Duke Nukem.

Ahhh...Duke Nukem. Gotta play that again.

I thought Duke Nukem was a first person shooter? I might be thinking of a different game, but I'm fairly sure Duke Nukem was a first person shooter.

3rd. this was a socom forum. so the majority of users will say 3rd. i liked socom so much because you could swap between the two. and you have periferal (sp?) vision when in 3rd person.

Duke nukem is a first person shooter minus the last game that they put out. They tried living in the third person world. I don't think t worked out too well.

I like 3rd person because I can see more of the surroundings, however 1st person is great for getting more accurate shots. So on games like Socom, I like to use both. I would say I use 1st person for most of my kills though.
