The glitch was posted onto Reddt by user “lIllIlIIlIIl.” In the clip, the player has a glitched camera that is locked into a third-person perspective. This viewpoint has imanyl members of the community, with some imagining the possibilities of alimited game mode withinWarzone.The third-person perspective in shooters gives players an extra-wide field of view, allowing them to safely peek around corners, dodge incoming fire, and be more aware of their surroundings. Still, the argument for third-person versus first-person gameplay continues to be debated among fans whenever a glitch like this appears.
In the comments, the post’s author explains that the glitch was triggered while he was reviving a downed teammate. Instead of completing the revive, the player left halfway through, locking him into a third-person point of view.
While this offered a unique perspective in the game, many players argue that third person viewpoints ruin thetactical nature ofCall of Duty: Warzone.There are battle royale games that have adopted the over-the-shoulder point of view, likeFortniteandPlayer Unknown’sBattlegrounds,as well as a few others that offer it as a default or optional perspective.
Across those games, players generally agree that third-person perspectives have advantages. In a game ascompetitively driven asCall of Duty: Warzone, a third-person game mode might be counter-intuitive to the game’s design, though others have successfully managed to maintain their competitive nature, so it’s still a matter of debate.
This isn’t the first time a third-person bug has been discovered inCall of Duty. Players have long known that the game’s engine was capable of it, but only bugs seem to trigger the effect. While athird-personCall of Duty: WarzoneorModern Warfaremay is interesting, it’s unclear if Infinity Ward would ever implement it.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
