It's nice that we have these new skins and decals but we just never get to experience them on our own characters.
The only way I knew I was using my skin and had the correct decal on my shoulder was right at the start of the game where there is a slight third-person pan to your character before the game starts.
Now, I'm not saying we just add a simple third-person button to the game, that would be nice but I'm sure there would be complaints and balance issues with looking around walls or whatever.
Why not just add a sort of spectate button for standing still? Like pressing F5 or something just rotates the camera around your character to have a look around the room and yourself. This is just 1 suggestion, there could be loads of other ways to implement third-person elements but I would really like to stop and look at my character every so often, if I'm a mech, if I'm a certain alien and so on...they look cool you know, I like to admire!
I also like to take cook or funny looking screenshots and it would be nice with a disabled hud and not being stuck in first-person.
