Just wonderin which viewpoint u want to play in for this game. Personally i would like a switch between the two, but if i had to stick with one i'd have to say third person...just feels better.

Post any thoughts.

Hard choice... but I say TPS, just because IMO squad-based games work better that way... kind of like in Warhawk.

I think it would be better as a TPS because tactical shooters seem to work better that way. Plus Zipper is making it so they know all about TPS.

Zipper does TPS well and I think thats what they will go for. However I would much rather see a real socom 4 from zipper rather than MAG. Confrontation is nice and all but Im looking for zipper to continue the real franchise.

It would be awesome to choose how you want to play, like the Battlefront games. That would kind of broaden the experience IMO.

I prefer third person above all others. Especially in a massive game like MAG. It makes the view a little better. I feel the FPS is far too focus on right's in front of you. It's a waste of console controllers and graphics. FPS are perfect for a keyboard and mouse in small areas.

But I like seeing the world around me while I snipe people.

Third Person, or both. I'm tired of First Person Shooters, and nothing beats Third Person camera view in my opinion.

Both would be nice. It will most likely be a TPS, since Zipper made SOCOM a TPS. It will be a very similar game, just more action.

Depends on the game. Socom:Confrontation and Gears 1&2 are great as TPS but I like COD & Oblivion as FP games.

Third Person because I think it lets you see much more around you, and with 256 players in the same game, I'm going to want to be able to see a lot.

Both, But I got a twist. I think the squad leader should be in Third person so that he can see more and make it easier to point out areas he wants his squad mates to move to and stuff, while the rest of the team sees in first person. That would be insanely awesome.

I agree. Tactical shooters work better when they're third person view point.

I'd say TPS, Why? Well the most likely huge maps will take forever to cross if its in First person and I just like third person better!

Third person would be better for MAG since it probably will be quite open and hopefully tactical a mixture of Bad Company and MGO would be nice.

Although I voted FPS, I think I have changed my mind. I forgot that Zipper is developing the game and they rock at TPS, plus working as a squad would be better from a third person POV.

See, if they implement a third-person view, you would be able to view a much larger area, allowing you to tak in all the mayhem occuring on the battlefield. A first person view would immerse the player to a greater extent than third-person, but can they analyze the huge battlefield from this view-point?

I think if they could do both, that would be great. But if I had to pick, I bet they're going to do third-person, seeing as how the development team is coming from a long line of thrid-person titles (SOCOM).

I want a cover system! Kind of like how Army of Two made the cover extremely maneuverable, unlike Gears of War's sticky-cover.

I would like to see OTS like in GRAW. Other than that I think FPS is better. TPS (particularly) how Socom implemented it) allows people to look around obstacles and stuff that is well beyond perifial vision and more like x-ray vision lol.
