First, expanded post a bunch.
Second, on JK... that's not true. Not at all. You're behind the character instead of being in their head. That means that now you can see your actions as you take them instead of just taking them. Also, it's harder to aim. In first person you have a much better view of targets while in third that is dramatically different. You can see the effect of your weapon attacks better, especially with hand-to-hand combat weapons, but precision goes down. So the controls are the same, but the gameplay is definitetly not even if we ignore the huge difference that it makes in your perception of the game.
