I'm a die hard PC gamer and Third Person is just fine with me! | Forums

As a long time Ghost Recon / Rainbow Six player, I too was disappointed when I first realize it was going to be 3rd person.

HOWEVER, I have been playing Ghost Recon Online, a game developed by a different studio but using the same game engine as Future Soldier (and also in 3rd person). I can honestly say I am having TONS of fun. I felt as though 3rd person would take the tactical feel out of it, but it is the most tactical team-based shooter I have played in a very long time. The UBISoft Singapore team did an excellent job, and if the Future Soldier is anything like GRO, then I will love it.

That said, I do realize that for many people, the Ghost Recon series is effectively over, and I completely understand why they feel that way. I feel the same way regarding the Rainbow Six series--I haven't truly enjoyed a Rainbow Six game since Raven Shield.

As far why they moved to 3rd person, it is probably a strategy to distinguish from the other shooters on the market (such Call of Duty), and I think this strategy will serve them well.

For those who are skeptical, Ghost Recon Online is a free to play online shooter that is essentially Future Soldier with a different twist on it. It is currently in closed beta, but it is due to be released this year, so it may be worth trying that game out before purchasing Future Soldier.

The series isnt over, if u read the game informer interviews you will see they are just "boosting" the franchise and taking it foward, weather that works or not is unknown, i just hope there are dedicated servers for pc .

I think your dead right bout 3rd person being an up on all the cod games!

I enjoyed playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter on the PC in third person or over the shoulder view, thirdpersonview was a great mod, i think there were a few different tpv mods about .

I personally love the thing I can see my operative move, shoot and act.

Also what point it really would be to have cool customizations on the character if you cant see them from 3rd?

Agree!! I love my FPS but playing in 3rd doesn't bother me. I want to see my costomized character!
