Description

Totally against the Doom feel, but a 3rd person view
might be a nice option anyway.

And, against original doom too, but what about the possibility
of choose the camera (rear view, top view, zoom...)

Even a top view without render the ceilings, like MageSlayer
or Expendable.

I think it's great, especially with how flexible the engine
is, I would like to set it to instantly go into 3rd person
when I die, rather than viewing through my eyes as I die.
(Like on Halo) But of course stay in first person while playing.

Would be nice for demoes too, no more tweaking around with
the spawning players and cameras and such. I can see by how
frustrating it looked to get that E1M1 demo done for
Ultimate Doom.

great option for demo viewing (moving the camera round the
player you'll looking at etc) and a great feature for mod
developers

Great idea. Not like the original, but again good for mod
makers, and a change of pace.

i think it's a good idea...i myself once thought of doing a
third-person mod, in side-scrolling fashion

For me, it isn't a good idea.... :-|

Third-Person-view (as Heretic II) i do not like.... :-((

I'm not bought Heretic II, for its Third-Person-view :-|

I'm surprise the priority for this thing is 5 and for the BOTS is
only 3! :-\

This kind of already exists. Try "viewmode" in the console. Of course, a proper 3rd person view would require more sophisticated logic for moving the camera around so it doesn't obstruct gameplay.
