The first person is significantly better in Standalone. The view doesn't shake, and bob as much as it did in Arma 2. I can't confirm Arma 3. That may be more improved than Standalone, but I wouldn't know. Also, it IS less realistic than Arma 2 as far as military combat simulation is concerned. However, DayZ isn't about military combat. DayZ is about regular civilians trying to survive. It is significantly more realistic in that regard.

Even in that case, the form of incentive isn't enough. That's simply punishing people that don't have a bunch of friends to play with. This subject is hard to tackle from any direction. You can't just make zombies too hard, the survival rate will plummet and any long term gameplay could potentially be ruined. You need to award teamwork and working with strangers, without punishing people who like to run around on their lonesome. That is not easy to do without risking the core gameplay of DayZ.
