[Answered] Thirdperson on the Servers

[Solid]

I think we should add the ability to go third person on ttt, jb, ze, etc.

 

I really see nothing bad about this other than being able to peek around corners without actually going around the corner

It'd be really good because on servers like ttt and jb, people customize their player models a lot and it'd be an easy way to see what you look like and quite a few people like being in third person (mw2 third person was the bomb, made me love it)

 

Overall I don't see anything wrong with adding third person and it'd be a neat addition to the servers. I know ill definitely be using it.

If it works like I think it does where you can literly move you screen and see around a corner i think it would disrupt PB gameplay to much. Like if a rebeller is camping somwhere and waiting for a ct (or vice versa) to come around the corner a ct could easily avoid it and possibly shoot them through the wall. Like on VIP in the mix they can use it to peek around a vent corner. With maps with one ways t's or ct's could see where they are and easily kill them. (Red dot on radar).

 

Basically I think it would make certain maps way off balanced.

Ct or T sided maps.

I think it would be better on TTT than pb though because people will have weapons and will be more equal.

 

EDIT: Would this be an optional decision because if it isnt my statements dont really apply as much....

Doesn't seem like a smart thing to do, especially not on JB and TTT. and definitely not as an optional decision, giving some people advantages over others.

 

Being able to peek around corners can be incredibly overpowered and easily abused.

Besides that, CS:GO is a FPS game, meaning First Person Shooter, I really don't see why that would have to be changed on our servers.

True, you can't see your own vanity shit, but is it really that important that you'd risk extremely unbalanced gameplay on the servers?

Maybe we can make it so you can only use third-person for so many seconds. Enough seconds to see your character but not enough for you to look around a corner. I would only like this so I could see the character I have. Besides that theres not much use to it besides being able to look around corners.

A third person view is objectiely a competitive advantage versus first person viewers. Part of the strategy and fun of first person shooters is having to check that corner and the risk involved with it. This is why most games are either one or the other, or have separate modes just like in mw2. The one exception I can think of is DayZ, but even there they have special servers just for first person since a lot of people think it's better as first person only.

 

Personally I don't see any good coming from adding third person. It would shift the game balance and could potential screw up map balance. It would force people to use third person in order to compete and I think it would just encourage slower and safer gameplay. Also this isn't taking into account the fact that CS:GO was not designed as a third person game and there are all sorts of changes CS:GO would have to make in order to keep the same quality of movement and aiming that we are use to in first person. It's not enough to just change the camera position and call it a day, third person games take a lot more into account.

 

If all you want is to see what your character looks like with your custom stuff on, I think the better approach would be to have a plugin similar to the way we can view individual items in game but for your whole character.

what elemental said. As an admin who regularly goes to both of them, I don't think it is a good idea to do that.

No, this is not a good idea for the SG servers.

 

To start it gives an unfair advantage to people when they third person around the corner. CSGO is all about peaking and having fast reaction time without seeing whats around the corner, and this plugin would just ruin that. I can see people abusing this to see around/through walls as well. There will be many complaints about this if this was added to any server as it's just unfair and too easily abused.

Probably only use would be on ZE servers when we add models and people want to see them. Also, third-person makes it more interesting on ZE if you just want something out of the ordinary. Shouldn't affect game play whatsoever since zombies arent gonna third-person a corner and awp you across the map
