Rather than record using battlerecorder, why can't we have a third person view so we can not only record, but actually record videos LIVE. I mean, it can't be that much of a problem ... can it?

Might change things up a bit, but who knows if EA is gonna release a new patch anyway.

As long as it is option i think it is a good idea, Will help snipers allot when finding a good spot.

Of course its optional ... some games have first and third person views as options ;-)

Are you thinking a spectator mode where you can watch what happens in the server or a different camera angle so you can see your your character from third person view like in the vehicle's (F9 - F12).

either way, NO.  Being able to see around a corner with out exposing your self is basically a wall hack and I don't see a way you can make 3rd person view that looks good and does not cause visual problems.   Spectator mode just leads to easy ghosting (having a friend tell you what the other team is doing over Vent).
BF2 & 2142 have enough graphical glitches & exploits as it is, no need to create new ones.

There already is. No crosshair though and you have to be commander. Looks cool though

I didn't make the video but I have done it before and it does work.

Why would there be a 3rd person view in a FPS?

you can already play in 3rd person. Go commander and jump of a high place open parachute and go to commander screen and watch you go to the ground. Then you can play in 3rd person.

That too. Tried it in singleplayer in the weekend. I kept shooting the ground.

QFT. If they can do it in CS 1.6 and now CSS - they can do it in BF2.

Oh wait, this is EA and DICE we are talking about. Nevermind.

It might be good to find a hiding spot, but for firefights, it's worthless without some sort of crosshairs.

you'll get people that will camp around corners waiting for someone and then blast him with a shotty from close distance, I've player SOF II where you could use third person view in some servers and this is what we got.

Hell yes they should. BR sucks ass right now, it would be great if they made a demo recorder of CS quality.

Not for battle I don't think, if I need to see by a wall in a vehicle i just use flyby camera, for infantry I just throw a nade.

But i agree it would be sweet, but what are the chances of EVER getting new official stuff in BF2, if someone stuck it in a mod I'd play it.
