First Person

[Safe-Keeper]

'This is the shortest game ever, there's only 45 guys to shoot and none of em run away or shoot back, what a waste of my money'

why i cant board other ships?11 wheres the sniper kit! This game suxx!11

Seriously, though... running? Sorry, but why on earth would that be a difficulty setting? The CO stayed in the control room or on the bridge 99% of the time during action. It's not as if he needed to run to the torpedo room to fire eels himself, he just stood there and gave orders. I think you're delving too deeply into this whole FP thing. /my opinion.

I don't think the first person will ever be required. Maybe they will add a "lock" on the first person mode as a difficulty option, much like No External Views in the current games.

My impression, too. FP will be a gimmick like the ability to man guns yourself, but not something you have to make use of.

also, if your engineer goes crazy, can you grab a luger and shoot him FPS style? I'd probably just start bunny hopping all around my control room shooting at my hysterical engineer

that reminds me...i hope the MG-42's are usable for on the bridge defenses!

You took the words right out of my mouth - literally. That is exactly what I was going to write...then I saw yours.:rotfl:

maerean_m, you've got most of us very excited. I hope you'll pay for my new keyboard after it fails from being drooled on too much.

This is how I think they should implement the 1st person deal. Have the "instant buttons" but do not have them instantly take you to the place. Instead your captain has to walk to the desired compartment. Allow intercommunication through talky tubes though. So if the captain wants to talk to engineering he goes to a squawk box. When you click on that, you get little icon representing the various compartments with squawk boxes. I think the uboats had tubes though. Not sure on that.

A system like this I think would be very realistic. You don't just flash from one point to another, so if you are in the forward of the ship you have to make your way to the control, and the crew need to "make a hole" for the commander. That would be cool. There should also be a toggle for quick or slow movement.

Well for a start i think the devs said or i read on some preview that only the officers will be modelled . I am pretty sure they already said that the entire sub will be available in first person .
