I've arrived very late to this conversation, but I'll put my thoughts out there anyway. I've just now gotten into DayZ (currently playing the mod until the SA catches up) and I've played 3P once. This is a simulation game that is all about immersion, so I figured that FP was the way to go. I understand a lot of people like 3P, but if it really does allow you to see around corners, that's not really fair. Again, I don't know how accurate that is because I never played in 3p for longer than 30 seconds. However, I will be playing in FP only servers. *I do have to hand it to the devs, 3P is nothing shy of beautiful.
