So I tried first person yesterday and it worked surprisingly well.
For the specialist I have the infiltration gadget which allows me to spot people in close quarters regardless. Though even for the heavy it worked fine.
It really felt like my aim was more focused because there wasn't anything else in the screen between me and my target.
The only thing I dislike is the inconsistency between using main weapon and gadgets of the specialist and the heavy.
Using the gatling gun, shield as well as the bubble forces one back to 3rd person mode.
Here comes the fact: A 1st person view of mentioned gadgets does exist, but you'll only see it when you have connection issues.
Weird that there's no manual control for it. These 1st person views look alright, especially for the bubble shield I see no reason to force seomeone to use the 3rd person mode.

@grrr33nflashThat sucks. Originally I came from Battlefield 3 before starting with BF2015 and this game following up.
So the real action and immersion for me will always be 1st person, even if I can't see my cool armor skin.
I hated it first back then that 3rd person is a thing in Battlefront, but well that's a tradition so I'll probably never see such a game without 3rd person.
I thought all the time that 3rd person was the meta and therefore mandatory, but since yesterday I came to realize that 1st person works really good too.
The aim is better overall and even if I don't use the specialist but a different soldier class all the time I can make a good kill series too.
The minimap tracers also still tell a lot about where someone is coming from, which helps to be not that disadvantaged in the infamous corner situations.

@computersonI really love that transition animation in first person when I switch to the EE-4 (middle ability) as specialist.
The way it looks like it appears like straight from an action movie. Ever seen Hardcore Henry?
Here's another random fact: Kylo Ren actually chuckled when Poe Dameron ridiculed General Hux with the yo mama joke stuff.
As Hux lost a lot of his coolness in Kylo Ren's eyes then, the idea inevitably came in his mind to bully Hux from this point on.

- 4 years ago@TRlALON My fat fingers gave your battlefield immersion post 20 upvotes, but the post rings true!
I main 3rd person though... maybe should change to 1st some day.
Maybe when I pick up PC again. - 4 years ago

Is it possible to learn this power?
