I build in first but than I switch constantly to third to view the build better as well as when i'm building on a large scale.
I fight in first but use third to view my enemy better
only in third for vehicles


Building: First person, sometimes third person.
Combat: First person.
Vehicles: Third person, sometimes first person.

Switch all the time back and forth


Guns with raycasting make me go in first person, but something like the Rocket Launcher L. I use in third-person. I don't know why but it seems easier that way with the third-person.

generally third person unless i am shooting at someone with either a weapon that is explicitly very accurate or is far enough away that i can't see them around my player or they're outside of the third person camera's arc

for combat im usually 3rd person 2 check around corners, above cover, and or get a general feel around me
i only ever enter 1st person when im ready to engage or am indoors

DM: Almost always first person. Use third occasionally to get a different view of scene when not in combat.

Third for TDM-DM's
First for shooting at someone

I fight in first but use third to view my enemy better

I switch rapidly
Switch all the time back and forth


Then people get so mad when I enable only first/third person.
I stay in first person at all times, except driving.

I get flustered when we can't switch to third person with some player types lol.

1st person while I build, 3rd person when I stop to look at it
1st person for DMs and 3rd for knife TDM
1st for air vehicles and 3rd for ground vehicles

I use 3rd person 80% of the time unless I'm firing a precision weapon or the target is too far to reliably aim in 3rd.

If I'm fighting in close quarters I'll be in first as well. Driving is in 3rd, building is in 3rd unless I'm building details, then 1st.

Anything else is 3rd.

It's rare that I go into 3rd person.

Only for the things that I want to see my avatar do.

Any kind of DMing, 1st
Exploring/messing around, 1st
Precise building/painting, 1st
Holding down enter/painting, 3rd

First person when fighting always
third person when building but sometimes first person to plant my ghost brick
always third person when in a vehicle unless it's a jet with guns or something.

I mainly use 3rd person.
