DayZ - Playing in 1st person view

Playing DayZ in 1st person view makes a huge difference.

It's much more immersive and scary that way, exploring at night with only your flashlight beam illuminating the zombies is creepy. I've found out I survive much longer on 1st person only servers, due to exploring much slower and always checking around me + people can't just cheese you with the 3rd person without being seen at all. And if the headbobbing is distracting you, you can just turn it off in the menu.

What do you think? Have you played in a 1st person only server, was it more immersive?

Peace!

I like the third person cam, I don't think Day z should limit player options and make the game only appeal to hardcore audiences.

It's a much better game in 1st person, a lot more intense at the very least. I'd be more than happy to see 3rd person gone. That said, I do use 3rd briefly on rare occasions when I'm crawling through heavy grass and need to keep an eye on a close zed. Other than that, first person at all times.

Very true. There should be more 1st person only servers.

Nice respones everyone, maybe we could pairup sometime at a 1st only server? Hard to find friendlies these days with all the Shoot On Sight policy :/

I always play in first person, always have in all games that have the option for either view.

First person is great for a harder more realistic time. but if you want to have more fun 3rd person is the only option. It gives you far greater spatial awareness and you can exploit the cam sometimes to get the drop on people.

Shoot on sight will be ever present from now on in DayZ. Unless the standalone has some miracle way to fix it, it will ruin the game forever more. Nothing will bring back the feeling of the mod when it first released. It was amazing then from a PvP standpoint. now it's all trigger happy guys,

Both views have their advantages but yes I prefer first person as well. There are some servers that force third person mode to be disabled, so that works.

People don't play ArmA2/ Day-Z in first person? Jeez. You can adjust the head bob in the options.skrat_01

Wow imagine, people playing a game a different way to you because they prefer it that way :o shock horror
