Really good video, sums it up much better than a lengthy post.

Give it a try, after 15 mins you will get used it and maybe even enjoy it.

Let's populate those 3pp:off servers lads! (especially those AU/NZ servers)

I think more people to try FPV servers every now and then can only be a good thing.

I sum it up like this. IRL (which people like to use as the 1st pov) you have more senses than just site and sound. In the game you don't. I can't tell in game if I am up against a wall or not without looking. I can't tell where my character is without looking. 3rd person view helps you stay aware of where you are better since we lose our other senses.

Dslyecxi's video has been posted many times here and we really don't need another 1st/3rd person thread.
