The only pistol kills I get is when I can squeeze two quick shots off on a distracted enemy.
Though I had a cool gunslinger moment where I waited for a guy to open a door to the outside and unloaded the revolver into him.

Oddly enough, it reminded me a lot of APB.

the .45 with a silencer is really fun to unload on someone at close range if you get the jump on them.

How do you guys feel about 1st person vs 3rd person? My friend and I have been going back and forth on it for a while now. He is really advocating to make this game 1st person only, he thinks it would make it much more intense and lead to less camping in general. He likes this video:

This thread had a very, very long argument discussion on this topic, I think that the tl;dr is that we all agree it's exploitable but that past-experiences show that these sort of games are a lot more popular if they're in 3rd person than they are in 1st.

There is a 'hardcore' 1st person only mode on the way though, so tell your friend he can rest easily.

Yeah mandatory 1st person would be real good but until that happens you should stick with 3rd person 95% of the time. The situational awareness advantage it gives you far outweighs the aiming penalty.

I would probably play a hardcore mode, where everyone was limited to first person only, I also don't care about third person, since it's also something available to everyone.

Third person is fun and good and I like seeing my pretty barbie all dressed up.

I mean, I don't see how it's an "exploit" when the same tools are available to everyone. If you think having some sort of e-honoure makes you better because you refuse to play in 3rd, that's on you.

People had the same argument over the latest SW Battlefront and the game was funner in 3rd because you could see more poo poo in what was an absolutely gorgeous game.

Problem with first person is it basically makes being prone a liability because of the foliage. You have to move around a bit just to get a clear shot.

I think first-person only is probably healthier, honestly. The game rewards camping enough as it is; being able to see 360 around you while also not moving or giving up your position in the slightest is insane.

Yeah but running through forest in first person, it's going to be hard to see someone shooting at you which benefits camping.

Third person is better In some ways because real humans have perceptive abilities that translate very poorly to vidja games, so trade offs have to be made. That said I'd play hardcore mode for sure as long as they enable custom fov with it

I like the third person and would be less inclined to play if I were forced into 1st person in this game. The map feels too big to not have a 360 view of what's going on.

First I don't think anyone is saying that using 3rd person is an exploit, second I think the people who want a first person mode wants one just because they prefer 1st person like you do 3rd, but if you're running 1st person now you're at a huge disadvantage to everyone who isn't.

Literally no-one is saying that first person should replace 3rd person as default, because that isn't how this genre works or what most people want.

I'd just like to have both options available for variety's sake.

Both options are available though. I understand what you're saying though, like Arma having some servers that are locked in 1st, etc.

What debate? Why would people would have issue with a separate game mode that they won't ever have to play? 0.5s longer queue times? Gamers are weird.

It's because this gaming forum routinely likes to make talking points out of nothing in an attempt to show how cool/smart/good their opinion is. Usually involves posting a single reddit or neogaf link with an outlier opinion, and then pretending it's the majority opinion of the masses and is going to ruin everything.

Like that Zombie custom server is barely played, and people hear are crying about how it's going to usurp the main game mode or some nonsense.

I don't care about 1st or 3rd person. Whatever the dev wants to do, I'm cool with it.
It better be 3rd because I want to see the rewards of my dress up.

I'd like some throwing weapons. Silent throwing knives, axes and whatnot. Sometimes the situation is close but another enemy is poking around outside.

The crossbow fits that niche just fine, though.

Having a silent ranged weapon in the melee slot would probably be unbalanced, though I guess it does give you the choice of that or the almighty pan.

I think if you pushed back too hard against camping strategies you'd limit the potential playerbase by a lot. Allowing players with weaker shooter skills to win occasionally through luck & positioning is good in the long run.

At least I can promise nothing.
I would prefer the game to be 1st person as well but just changing an entire aspect of a game that's already out (albeit EA) would be daft.

To the people who prefer the third-person, what's the trick to approaching cover with a potential enemy behind it? You're highly likely to lose as the camper sees you clearly without peeking, has your horizontal level lined up perfectly and the element of surprise?


Anyways let me tell you how I'd develop a game :smug: ... What if the third person camera moved in tighter as you got closer to facing a collision object? It would be the same way the camera pulls in when it's behind you hitting a wall instead of clipping through.

Are you talking about if you know they are there? Cause then you can throw grenades at the corner, pop smoke, run at the corner with your gun raised ready for them to come.

If you are talking about surprising someone from a corner... well that's just part of the game. If someone has been stalking you, set up their positioning correctly so you are running into them around a corner, and you have 0 clue they are there, then well they deserve to kill you unless they miss the shots.

It's not like it's easy to successfully stealth stalk someone in this game, given that they also have a 3rd person camera.

Throwing my hat in the ring here with 3rd person being just fine.

You're still going to die to campers in first person view. If anything 3rd person helps you spot campers in many situations you wouldn't be able to in 1st person since you can look around corners.

Whatever I'll still play the poo poo out of this game.
