This just in: All of the FPP love is confirmation bias of having no MMR, not playing against rank chasers and massive amounts of AFKs. If you're saying to yourself "I just do better in FPP, we top 10 every time", here's your reason why. You're still garbage, and this is why KDR is the only metric to give you any type of indication on how well you're doing.

Welp there goes all of your credibility

I like FPP because TPP encourages turtling and that is the a not-fun part of this game. With FPP I have a shot bull-rushing someone up stairs and people actually have to put themselves in harm's way to peek around a tree. It isn't realism, it just helps fix one part of the game's risk/reward structure.

Are we playing different games because this is dead set incorrect, in FPP you should be getting straight fuckin murdered every time you go up a set of stairs someone is camping because you have no way of knowing where they will be looking while they know exactly where you will be every time.

FPP is still a good mode but it's much more counterstrike-y, in which the game is about twitch reflexes and how good you click on heads. This is fun but it doesn't satisfy me the same way 3PP does.

Driving in first person in this game makes me motion sick.

Also I like being able to not get my head blown off because I decided to walk up some stairs.

If you have any inkling there might be a person up there, don't do this without expecting this result to have a decent likelihood of happening.

If you stopped at some random compound 3 circles in and there were no vehicles around, all the doors were closed and the guy just camped those stairs and got you then kudos to him for being super dedicated to the Hope Some Guy Comes In strategy.

Otherwise, you should generally have an idea when people are potentially in buildings and you can play accordingly.

i hate people who can just peek around corners in third person mode, which is totally different from people who stare at doorways in first person mode: the skill based mode for people like me.

Throw a grenade up the second floor. Doesn't even have to be a frag just make them run from the sound of the bounce. Smokes are good for this, make it harder for them to see anything for a minute.

Pro tip from a FPP with > 1kdr
Additionally smokes make sound and are loud enough to cover footsteps or at least make it more difficult to hear them.

maybe get out of your TPP habits of charging through every door/stairwell with reckless abandon and try a different approach to possible camping spots in FPP

FPP is also the mode for more skilled drivers. Just wait until they start giving BP for car jumps. Good luck landing that bike without your 3rd person crutch losers.

Oh yeah speaking of- who here has noticed that there's a small camp site with tents just outside of the bunkers near the prison? I'd had about 100 hours put into the game when I finally noticed it.

We need to be able to stick our heads out of the window while driving in fpp because driving in the dacia or the uaz with a roof makes it impossible to locate airborne crates without stopping or switching to a passenger seat and spinning out.
