Depending on the weapon and situation, I work both. Saber/baton/melee is 3rd person. Teshing in a bunker is first, laying mines on the korri dorrs is first, pistol duelling is first, and normal disruptor is first. All other weapons are third, including tesh outside of bunker, and disruptor while on desert def.

I usually play first person, but I will switch it up from time to time and play TPS. I also yews TPS for looking around boxes and stuff.

Well with the rax jorises, those are based on your own settings in the game, not the setting that the person who took the demo was using. It's only in the youtube videos that you can see which view was actually being used at the time.

You should have a key to toggle it close to your movement keys because it's pretty important to toggle between them. Third person gives you a view advantage, but if you're too close to a corner or ledge and using an explosive (i.e rockets, dets) you may end up shooting the very edge of it rather than past it, killing yourself.
You should be in third 90%+ of the time, but toggling to first can be helpful for those other situations. It's a good habit to have.
