  From what I read you can switch 1st person off.
I like the first person on the videos and a lot of the other game play 
seems appealing. If you can keep up situational awareness it adds a lot 
to immersion, if the interface doesn't intrude too much.
Having to track and remember and rubberneck is part of the process.

If it sustains a few million and lasts until christmas I will likely 
give it a go.  If,if,if.
   Some Pve seem to like it.
   Pvp-ers seem to hate it so thats a big plus :-)
