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

Just to be clear, you're saying advantages are ok so long as people have to pay for them? Imagine if some hardware configuration or special software were able to give people 20% more dps or something.

Granted, FOV isn't a huge advantage. But I'd like to see it treated consistently. If disabling your cockpit is too big of an advantage to allow, then 3 monitors and TrackIR are most definitely too big to allow.



Technically Freelook doesn't actually require a cockpit - just a 1stPV.
Yeah, but i've never seen it done. It would be both incredibly confusing and highly OP since it would literally be flying a camera with unimpeded 360 vision. If a game is going to give you that level of camera freedom they just attach the gun to it, like Descent.
