From the few videos of the game so far, it doesn't look like there will be. I think it would be a nice addition, otherwise to me it seem slike 3rd person mode in combat would just be a hassle because of a harder time aiming. That could be just me though. |

It's not harder to aim in 3rd person. It's harder to a FPS player because they're so used to playing in 1st person. If you take someone who's never played a shooter before, let them try both 1st person and 3rd person, and ask which feels easier to aim with, they'll probably say the latter. This isn't Battlefield Heroes, though: you'll have the choice of using either, and probably the ability to change views at will. |

I disagree completely, but whether or not it is easier to aim with 1st or 3rd person view is not the focus of the thread. |

Immersion is the key. |
Hi, from what we know so far, cover is all part of the game (it is a spy-themed game, don't forget :p), and camera view can be changed seamlessly between 1st and 3rd person... So I guess those old mechanics won't hamper your gameplay (you will swap them depending on the situation like you do when you use a sniper scope).
But perhaps the question of the OP was more if what an avatar see really depends on its current position (behind a wall, those sort of things) and not its camera position. If so, I greatly encourage you to post that question in the "ask the devs" discussion board of The Agency on Facebook. :)
