Which one do you prefer and why??

I prefer the 3rd person view because you see more area and its harder for people to sneak up on me.

For the most part, I stick to first person, I've got better aim with it. However, in situations of uncertainty when it comes to corners, hills, or I'm an Engineer unit, I go with 3rd person.

When I wanted to aim more precisely, I found out that first person view is much better. It is also useful when placing mines and/or remotes.
Other than that, third person view all the way.

I alternate depending on the situation. 1st for accuracy, 3rd for wider field of view.

Yes, I agree, I always use 3rd for SBH actions too.

I think the key to this is using both & making sure you use the right one for the situation

For precision, i tend to use first person to see better. But when i'm just killing things so that i can see what's happening on all sides (although i do fall off cliffs often Blush

lol, I played Call of Duty and I was pretty good at it. The fact still remains that you'll never be good if you use first person (unless you originally got good with 3rd person, but that isn't the case for any of you as all of you are bad, and no I don't need to play with you to know so).

What's up with you geeks always making stuff up? It's not like any of you really know what you're talking about, because in reality, you're all bad at this game. Sure, you may not think so as you all play together and don't see anyone better, but that doesn't change anything. You wouldn't understand though, you all think Crimson's smart and always follow on her footsteps Sarcasm

I almost always use 3rd person for everything. Especially, sniping. It works great in Hourglass for the tunnels. About the only time I use 1st person is when I need a better shot as a sniper (like around a rock or something).

I use third person all the time except when I'm closing the distance down with a Patch/Mobius and I want the enemy's head to be easier to hit (it's something like 3 times as big in first person when you're at point blank).

Oh yeah, and I always use first person when I'm a Grenadier because the weapon model looks cool. Actually that's the only reason I use the Grenadier in the first place.

Ya, I always use 1st person when I'm a grenadier too, which is usually on Canyon. Mainly, because I have no aim with it on 3rd person.

First Person- Since the screen is moving with you, it's hard to aim, run, jump, and shoot all at the same time.

3rd person, you can do that all at the same time, plus you can see around corners and see people sneaking up from behind and beside you without turning around.
