I find 1st person good for me, I rotate camera once and keep all my enemies/teammates in mind, so I have time to snipe. Those who think that you can't be aware of enemies while playing first full person, tell me more about battle awareness -

While reloading a xbow you have a lot of time to look around and you're usually far away from the battle to be easily surprised by a infantry attack. Thats nothing special in my eyes  :rolleyes:

Behind cover/shieldwalls/holes in the walls 1st person zoomed in. On every other occasion it's 3rd person and zoomed. Only time i am not zooming in is when i already drew my bow and melee is too close to me to change to melee.

I use 3rd person and zoom if I need to snipe. For close or medium range I go without zoom.

Because I don't have an xbow/bow to shoot ppl from far and I suck at blocking and 1on1. Still that says nothing about my battle awareness 8-)

I'm a thrower/shielder hybrid, so I didn't vote, but I had always played 1st person, even in melee, due to playing single player since .941 or whatever.  And I died lots.  Finally I made myself get used to fighting in 3rd, and I finally started winning fights.  But I so sucked at aiming- everything was low, and when trying to hit some cav I'd usually headshot the pikeman who just stopped his horse.  Not a good way to make friends.

Now I switch to first to throw, but always forget to switch back for melee and then I die.  Kinda sad really.
