Re: Cockpit View - should it be forced? More options.

People would just have to switch back and forth whenever they wanted to look around. At that point it's just an unnecessarily obtuse control scheme and we're right back on the "we can't have nice things" effect.

If you would, try this. Explain your line of thought behind disliking the cockpit view.

TrackIR is a better control scheme for an existing feature (freelook). It is advantageous, but it doesn't fundamentally change the gameplay. I would hope that Multi-monitor setups have reasonable limitations on the field of view they can achieve. In that case I don't especially like them but they're a far cry from toggling off the tall grass I'm hiding in.
