There are actual addons for L4D2 that fix the issues with the thirdperson commands, that make it really good, honestly. The reason why Postal III helped in leaking beta HL2 content is because it was using an older version of the Source engine, which when the out-sourced devs got their hands on it from Valve, Valve neglected to remove anything regarding HL2. Should also mention, you are correct on saying Alien Swarm isn't third-person, it's top-down i.e. Hotline Miami and such. Great video.

A couple addendum to the L4D2 thirdperson: third-person is forcefully disabled in versus mode in third-person, all of your own shotgun shots are silent.

It was the same way in L4D1. The things hit shotgun collision sounds made noise though. I am ashamed to say I used to cheat in VS Mode by using extreme third person camera views to peek through walls. I believe it was eventually disabled.

"Blade Symphony", "Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines", "Vindictus", "Hybrid" are all third person commercial games made in source.

in HL2's case, the playermodel is gordon from HL1 with no textures (he has a model at all, cause HL1 had multiplayer) (so does HL2, but its as a separate game for some reason - Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, which you get for free with purchase of HL2)

You can also use third person in l4d2 as special infected of course you'll need to open a map with command prompt and do versus but what you need to type in command prompt is viewdistance and put a negative numbers and i think its works pretty well

Never heard of that. Does the position of the camera matter to them? If you don't know the third-person command has a glitch where when you join another map or server, your camera moves up. Only the first map/server you join after booting the game has the camera in its normal position. You can correct this with commands that move the camera back down but I'm just curious

I seem to recall that when developing Postal 3, Akella was working with Valve to change the engine. However, that went down the toilet when Postal 3 was moved to Trashmasters (their shovelware department) when Akella started laying off employees and was edited by them for some reason. If you find the "postal3videos" channel, one of the first videos shows the original third person mode and the player crouching. The leak in which beta stuff for TF2 and Half-Life was found in includes the original third persin, which had a toggle. In the final game, the third person is a tweaked first person camera with the player as the view model, while the beta was a tweaked third person mode edited to be more functional Some other features from the team working with valve include bodygroupped prefabbed NPCs with over 200 materials and bodygroupped flexes. Many other features were cut, sadly

Portal 1 and 2 are in the unintended cheats category (and I imagine the camera would suck for aiming and flinging), but the engine does actually give you a proper simulated character model in single player so that you appear properly in portals, and that applies to third person as well. I've also been pretty frustrated by the fact that gmod locks thirdperson behind sv_cheats; why can't I get the achievement points for spawning props just cause I want to be in third person lol

CSGO has many third-person convars that you can tweak to customize how the camera works. You can move the camera to be over-the-shoulder, tilt it any way you want, and even make it so that the crosshair lines up to where the shot will land (although it will never be fully accurate, since the bullets go from the player model, not from the camera model - divergent lines and all that)

A simple wikipedia search also found these Source games which feature at least in some part, a third-person perspective: Kuma\War - "... is a free tactical first and third-person shooter game..." Hybrid - "... is a downloadable third-person shooter video game..." Blade Symphony - "... is reminiscent of and inspired by Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast ... first and third-person..." (This is just surface level research, some games in the Source engine wiki might have small features that include a third-person element to them but have no mention of it on the wiki).

Double action boogaloo was amazing

Double Action Boogaloo is sick. It's great.

a very noteworthy third person source game that had some relevance back in its heyday but is completely dead and buried nowadays is Blade Symphony. sword-based fighting game made on the source engine, where you could freely download weapons from the workshop and they showed up for both players, also had free roaming and FFA battle modes. had a lot of fun with it, too bad on top of no more players the devs apparently turned it into a f2p microtransaction heavy mobile game-ish messy jamboree.

There was a Mann vs. Machine server I used to go on a lot that had a third person mod and honestly shit adds a whole new dimension to TF2

There's Vindictus, which is an MMO entirely within Source engine. It's also 100% third person.

Alien swarm and vampire the masquerade come to mind as well, but woof

For CS:GO, there's more commands to change where your character aims during Third Person. As its aim is set to a locked place, it's never directly on the crosshair.

"Who has ever played Alien Swarm even?" Me, who played about 4.3 hours of modded gameplay in Alien Swarm Reactive Drop: *Raises hand*

postal 3's third person is very interesting, as it shares the same issues that cs:go's third person has where your bullets dont hit the crosshair, so the same thing applies there. but its also not the true third person source has itself. the third person in postal 3 is actually an edited first person mode, so by default you are always in first person, its just the camera has an edited position (can be changed thanks to console commands as well). if you activate third person through the console, you get into the source engine third person and the game is quite literally made unplayable, thanks to the camera just constantly not being in the view of your character and can go out of bounds. GOOD VID BTW I DO LIKE MY THIRD PERSON GAMEPLAY IN GAMES LIKE THESE

At this point, we will watch anything

Very interesting.
