Invalid. Nothing to fix.  3rd person is being removed (accidentally left in from dev-debug duing the 0.2.0 build).
 
By using 3rd person now you only do a disservice to yourself by becoming reliant upon it.

Wanna bet there's going to be much bitching, when it gets removed?

No, because the function is useless as it stands.

i would agree, but there are people who don't seem to be able to even want to play in anything else than 3rd position . .

So, you're saying that there might be some people complaining about a feature of the mod?

3rd person is kinda considered a cheat in the world of action simulation games because you can see around corners and over objects you shouldn't be able to.

Think about Call of Duty modern warfare 2 for instance. Even though its not a simulation style game, they have two 3rd person modes of gameplay, neither of which are hardcore or have that many people playing them. Also at least for me, they just aren't as fun in 3rd person.

First I want to say Awesome game so far....all though i still suk at lol ;D .  I kind like 3rd not because of the view it self but because i can pop into it then scroll wheel zoom back into 1st view why cuz it gets rid of the cockpit(witch i don't like :'( ) and allow me to see the sides of the map I can't see. But I agree with you guys #rd view is lame indeed.

Not quite; it is useful for maneuvering vehicles in some situations, particularly to avoid getting stuck in certain areas or getting unstuck. However, these are ultimately matters of level design and vehicle issues, not 3rd person utility. However, that doesn't make it any less useful in the present state of the aforementioned areas. I never use it in combat, though. I won't miss it, especially if the issues which makes its use... useful... are fixed.
