Does anyone know if it will look smoothly in Halflife2 when in 3rd person....Cause im sure some people am gonna make some mods.. and some in 3rd person, and in HL1 it sure looked ugly when you ran with your character
 
ewwwww half life in 3rd person??? God thats sick. I would rather die a million times than play hl2 in 3rd person.
 
So long as I came bk, yeah i agree!



But, seriously. How on earth are we supposed to know!
 
i dont know if it would look in HL2, because we never saw it=)
my thoughts are that i will be crap:)
 
wheee, HL² ala Jedi Knight...
This is definitely a bad idea, because you wouldn't be as much "immersed" into the game as the Valve team expect you to be.

Lad os vente og se...og desuden krydse fingre for det udkommer til september!
 
Lol, i thought that dick, mirror thing was quite funny actually:cheese:
 
if they could make a mods that's first person shooting melting with some third person elements, it could be great, i mean games like devil may cry won't be released on pc, but they're great 3D action game with shoot them up element using cool third person. The last attempt for melting these two in hl mods is The Specialist, the game is excellent, but the third person is still not good enough. See what will come up with the hl2 mods.
 
I only use the 3rd person view in the specialists, and i pwn!
 
Third person view in single player is ok, but in MP it's another form of cheating says me :)
 
yea it is cheating. You can see around corners without exposing your body.
 
In the specialists you can't see any objects (players/weapons) around corners when using the 3rd person view. They only appear when you would normally be able to see them.
 
Leaning is ok, as long as you can't fire the SOF way. If you could fire, you should have a hell of a lot more recoil. Not for realistic purposes but for gameplay issues, ok? :)
 
Like the "blind fire" technique in the upcoming console game kill.switch?
 
max payne was cool as hell. Best 3rd person game and funn as hell. Dont diss 3rd person games they can get very good. (vice city)
 
3rd person can be good, but just imagine games like CS in third person. It's just not right. I hope HL2 remains 1st person.
 
Ah, mange dansker på siden. ;) De danske er så hyggelig... :D

Jeg snakker lidt dansk, men jeg er ikke fra Denmark. Vi lærer dansk her på Island. :)
 
Alright with the Dånish talk already!!

And the 3rd person view was possible with the HL1 engine. I'm quite sure it is possible with Source, only nobody will be stupid enough to play SP in 3rd person view. It's more of an option especially for modders, like the topic starter said. Everyone here who's commenting "3rd person is ghey" should start by rereading the first post.
 
You're absolutely right roach, 3rd person was available in one version of 1.6 beta I think it was around April or May not sure. It didn't last long though, 1 or 2 weeks after they released another patch that removed the cmd line.
 
I hope that implemeting 3rd view will be possible,I'll need it in my Alien Versus predator mod,when Predator Have a Spear ,it will be easier to fight and do all the acrobatics with TPP view.I want to make it switchable.
and only for some specific situations.:bounce:
 
Fast action games does not look nice in 3rd. Max Payne was an action game but slow it looked cool in 3rd view.

Fast Action= 1st view such as Q3.
Medium Action= both view such as Serious Sam.
Slow Action= 3rd view only such as MP.
 
I will use 3:rd person view in "Malin" . Its a adventure game so it goes very well with the mod.

I always thought max payne was pretty fast.
Well, until you used bullet time :)

At any rate, I agree, speed does have something to with it. In all 3rd person games I play I want to actually see the player. In fast games, that's pointless, and only in the way. That's why I think 3rd person will work good for my mod, since it will be slower than for instance DoD or CS, more in the lines of RS. Not to mention, I still like the sense of awareness it brings. I've said it before: 1st person just dont cut it compared to the eye. Not to mention, weapon positions are ALWAYS fuxed :p
 
In nearly all games that have both 1st and 3rd person, I go with first, since it's easier to control, look around, and use weapons.

I bet half-life 2 will use 2nd person, however you'd do that. o_O
