u must turn net_allowCheats 1 on. its considered a cheat. i know q3 didnt by default but it is in most mods and with punkbuster u cant in baseq3 either.

you can use these commands too..

pm_thirdPersonAngle direction of camera from player in 3rd person in degrees (0 = behind player, 180 = in front)

pm_thirdPersonClip clip third person view into world space

pm_thirdPersonDeath enables third person view when player dies

pm_thirdPersonHeight height of camera from normal view height in 3rd person

pm_thirdPersonRange camera distance from player in 3rd person

The player animations look much worse in 3rd person then those in Doom3. Especially the jumping animation, almost feels unfinished somehow.

Does it defeat the purpose of a first person shooter if you're looking at the player in the third person? :P
