Thirdperson now enabled on all servers

[Bottiger]

You can now enter or leave thirdperson on all servers by typing /3.

This is because the last update allows thirdperson without enabling sv_cheats which let people wallhack.

But.....It's like hacking....We can see spies before they backstab and peak through corners without getting hit if we're playing reg servers :(

Yeah but the crosshair is a bit wrong in thirdperson.

:c i'd prefer if they added the medieval mode thirdperson

So.../3 again to exit or /1? (Not available to get on to try it)

 

[Lord Killington]

hmm perhaps a script might be useful to quickswitch 1st and 3rd...

Best feature on every server. :D

The only times I feel thirdperson is cool is when you play soldier. His animations make him look like a goddamned boss, especially his shotgun one.

lol, the highfive taunt basically allowed this anyways.

I think games with thirdperson view is a lot easier to play with, this should be interesting

except this 3rd person view is horrible.

I think the Third Person looks just fine at 1920x1080 with everything all the way up. I am sure it is alot crappier for those of us using 2004 level graphics cards lol.

it's not that. it's the fact that the crosshair is in the wrong spot. you shoot a bit under the crosshair in 3rd person

Put a custom crosshair where you actually shoot, problem solved.

It's still not accurate at all, as the distance will make a huge impact.

The only real way to make any sort of accurate add-on of any sort would be to use custom models which draw a line out from your character's line of sight. However, this could easily be considered a cheat, since you'd also have line-of-sight draws for other players, which acts like a janky wallhack.
