View Full Version : Play in 1st person or 3rd person?

After messing around with both for a bit, I'm wondering which is the better way to spend most of your time in the game, in 1st person or 3rd person?

Based on the fact that you're never really in 1st person mode, just 3rd person hacked to make it look like 1st person, I'm suspecting that the game was really intended to be played in 3rd person.

However, moving to 3rd person mode causes a frame rate drop of 10% to 30%, which makes me suspect I'll be playing in 1st person no matter what.

Any other thoughts on this?

Actually it was designed to be 1st person only originally. One of the developers made a 3rd person camera hack. They polished it and put it in.
