Event Timeline
I really hope they give us at least one server, they have such a great first person camera, awsome animations such as leaning, vaulting, driving, flying and healing. Have a 1pp will have a posstive impact on the game, rewarding tactics, postioning, awareness and teamplay. Wall peaking in 3PP is a unfair advantage to the one in cover. I should be able to change postion if a player is supressed by a squad mate without being seen, or exspose myself to locate a enemy postion, risking my head. You have these amazing leaning machanics but you don't need them with 3rd person. Please, please, please dev team. Just one thats all we ask. :) you will satsify a more hardcore player base.
I second this. Many players don't realise that they will enjoy the game more without third person exploiting. They choose what is comfortable. The developers must be aware of how players think. I think third person perspective must be tweaked to prevent it from being exploited so excessively in PVP.
Reviving this thread to advocate with the above posters for a first person only server or more than one. As has been said this creates a more "hardcore experience" that encourages players to compete within the game and world rather than by using perspectives to gain additional information they would not otherwise have without risking their head.
The biggest custom servers advertise as being more "hardcore" or "Simulator" but in reality they make the game much easier in almost every way except one. First person. Having an official server that is locked in first person gives more of that competitive edge without much of the added fluff or simplified systems that the custom servers can't seem to run without. I think there is enough players who enjoy the official or "vanilla" experience but would gladly take the added challenge and "fairness" of locked first person view to populate these servers. Maybe i and others advocating for this are wrong, but i struggle to see the negative side of having the choice, especially when many official servers don't fill even during peak hours.
At the very least why not gauge interest with the players themselves? Have a poll on your discord, YouTube, or other communities.
I also agree that first-person-only is super important for games like Arma, and would definitely like to see it happen.
First Person Perspective(1PP) should the normal case, not the exception in a military simulator.
And to those who claim that the players don't like it: take a look at the EXD servers 1PP, which are full of 110 players every night.
