Disallowable.
It makes it hard to aim because you dont know how far down or up you are aiming.
It looks like crap (gives me that yukki arcade feeling).
It allows you to see areas beyond the normal field of view, ie, like direclty behind you and to your flanks.
Experiment a little with the logic center of your brain before a zombie eats it.

I second that. Doom is THE shooter, and shooter means 1st person shooter and not 3rd person action adventure.

just about every fps I can think of has an option (console or otherwise) to use third person view. Unfortunately, it usually gets rid of the crosshair and fills the entire view with the character model, so you cant aim, or even see worth shit.
I think the only fps where I actually enjoyed third person was Jedi Knight, for lightsaber duals.
That was one of the best, most lag free games ive ever played online.

Play Alice sometime. It's 3rd person and aiming if fairly easy, as is control. It just depends how 3rd person is implememnted.

It would be okay as long as you don't get shitty views like on Resident Evil or Rune where you can't see the enemy in front of you.

It wouldn't be the same feeling. It would be much more difficult to aim at the grunts and monsters too, especially when you're in an area filled with them.
But if it is an option than that would be fine.
