Sounds cool!

Id like to see mixe and match. between 3-d and 2-d.

Also if they had a JCS for both 3-d and 2-d levels I possiblity are truly endless.
(pluse thoughts who perfrou 2-d over 3-d are still likely to buy it)

My perefrens over 3rd and 1st person

3rd person = good for range (gun, bow, ect.)
1st person = good for melle (axe, sorwed, ect.)

2,5D owns all IMO :P it sounds so unusual I wish JJ2 was 2,5D
