Read moreFirst person POV is my #1 most wanted feature, but I want to give an idea for why Dice haven’t added first person for heroes and reinforcements yet. In Battlefield and most other FPS games, the first person model, also known as viewmodel, is made separately from the third person model. This means every animation has to be made twice. I think this is also why so many fps does not show your feet when you look down. Adding first person perspective will take away more resources, and we know recourses are very scarce. If the players want it Dice needs to know that they are a substantial percent of the player base. So keep on making these posts because I really want it :p Perhaps Dice can just switch to slapping the first person camera onto the face of the third person model like what PUBG does, but that might look sloppy. Also I do believe it would be very simple to add first person for Iden since it is done in the singleplayer already,
u/F8rge are you wi...
Will be brutally honest.
It's a lot of work for something very few people use. We always strive to be strategic when allocating our resources.
Not to say it's not important, but the harsh realities of game development means we're making this type of decision all the time. Do we want our animators working on first person view or should they be working on new reinforcements?
We're going to make somebody unhappy with whatever choice we take, which is unfortunate, but we will always try to take the option we feel is best.
