Another thing... When zooming you lose the benefit of the scopes. Other than digital threats and sniper scopes, all other scopes are just another 3rd person zoom with the hip fire reticles.
First, the hip fire reticles are dismal for any precision shooting. The 3x scope, for example, is now much less effective. This purple scope has little value at all as a precision tool. Same goes for all other scopes too. They are much less effective.
Second, this should also be optional. If some players prefer a hip fire zoom reticle, this should be an imbedded option for all scopes in a quality 3rd person setup. This would be similar to how players can adjust sensitivity per scope already.
Again, I like the idea, but it doesn’t work well currently. I hope that this will be a full option for all players down the road. 3rd person as an LTM only is meh. I’d like to think that this was just an initial test.
Lastly, remember, the 3rd person camera should be above the head and to the right of the shoulder. Visibility shouldn’t be impaired at all.
