Recently I watched some Prison of Elders gameplay and saw the new Fallen relic: the Scorch Cannon. I found it interesting to see a Rocket Launcher like weapon being used in third person since Bungie is known for doing FPS games. So this got me wondering: How would you guys like the idea if Bungie added a third person camera option in the future? Personally, I would love the idea.

I'm sorry I've already said this, but I feel it should be reiterated. This is why I don't believe it would be a good idea, even as an option. 3rd person players would have an advantage over 1st person players simply based on screen view-ability. 3rd person has a much wider peripheral vision (obviously) and you can see what's happening behind you without turning around. So there are [b]clear[/b] gameplay advantages when talking about 3rd person gaming. In an online multiplayer game, the way you play the game affects everyone playing with you. Gameplay [b][u]must[/u][/b] be equal and fair. You can like it or hate it; that's just the way it needs to be. So no they would, could, and should not give a third person option.
