First person Fire Fights

[SommerTheViking]

Just gonna throw out a simple idea, whenever a gun is held, the players camera should force itself into first person view, just to eliminate people who like to exploit the camera to peak over walls, around cornors ect while there could be lives on the line.

cheating and exploits aside, it also makes the situation more immersive in my personal opinion.

Every rp server has it, it would make us just like them, besides it's buggy and sometimes you holster your gun and still sit in first person mode, so yeah, would just cause a lot more frustration than it is worth.

Unfortunately, as Noble pointed out, the "forced 1PP when equipping a weapon" is buggy and will screw you over. Also as a counterpoint - if you want 1PP for gunfight then IMHO you need 1PP all the time, to make it fair and to stop people holstering a gun for the 3PP advantage in a gunfight. 

Also, people suffer motion sickness in 1PP, so it is unfair to force this rule anyway.

No. I wish we had a system like in SCUM though. There you couldn't abuse "peaking around the corner" while in third person because they actually implemented eye sight for your character. Therefore it had to physically peak around the corner for the enemy to be seen. That would be something cool for DayZ but I'm not sure if its doable.

No. I don't like first person in this game. It doesn't feel right. It's buggy and frustrating to deal with. It's also horrible for melee combat and dealing with infected who are very buggy. Players with integrity won't cheat. So why should they be punished?

Personally I wouldn't mind this. I've played on other servers that do this, and I never had an issue with it. This was awhile back however, so I don't really know about it supposedly being buggy and stuff. If I were shown examples of why 1pp is broken / buggy I'd be open to changing my mind on this.

No. i can only imagine how horrible this would be, either force 1 person all the time or not at all

In the past I would've voted yes but I played on a different RP server for a month and that restriction was one of the things I disliked the most. It isn't immersive or anything it just frustrates both parties in PvP because it forces people into specific playstyles during those encounters. 

Also most kills are from 3rd person from hip firing so it would be extremely awkward to force people to relearn.

With that being said,

i get that its an unpopular opinion and so far the response has been, its buggy, it forces us to change ''playstyle'' personally i have never experienced a single bug with it, however i do understand the point with motion sickness which i did not think about originally, the main idea was to make people stop abusing the game and the exploit of being able to see around cornors and over walls, but the voice of the people shall be heard. 

I suppose this post can be removed again

I nearly always pvp in first person so it wouldn't make any change for me.

altough finally people wouldn't be able to prefire you without ever showing something of themselves.

i like it, some hate it , it atleast makes it less easy to pvp.

Fair enough Mr Sommer, understandable suggestion but at this time with given options with the state of the game, doesn't look like we can put this in yet.
