I'm on board with whatever they do I suppose; but restricted to first-person mode is pretty lame. I understand the need to adhear to classic (especially when it comes to squelching the mass opinions) but damn -- anyone know how long that will last before we can use the mousewheel for first/third-person?
I looked at the patch notes and found the following listed for on: September 25, 2001 3:00 am (I'm not sure this would be the correct post or not however):
"Mouselook will now work a little differently when in the first two
third-person camera modes (overhead and chase). They will work similarly to first-person mouselook (i.e. your character's heading will change when you move the mouse left or right, the left and right movement keys will cause your player to strafe, and the camera angle will pitch up or down when you move the mouse forward or back). These changes should make those first two third-person camera modes more useful."
EDIT: Actually, as I re-read that, it sounds like the third-person camera views are accessible at launch, but just don't work with the mouse (so F9 views work I'm guessing).
Yikes -- if thats the patch that changes it, thats 1 year and 6 months into the game :'(
