If force 1st view, ARMA anim style has obviously disadvantage, but 3rd view are a bit like cheating

Why anim in ARMA series include DAYZ with new skeleton won't have more smooth anim like other FPS game? From what Maruk said, ARMA series want keep the anim in both 1st and 3rd view proximal (not totally the same, such as turning around in circles in prone mode, be careful about your left hand). In other word, if ARMA don't need 3rd view, the things should be easier, and there will be a more smooth anim for it.

But in DAYZ, do you want 1st only or 1st+3rd coexist?

If the former, then the new anim in dayz now is really not good for adventure and survive mode. If the later, cheating 3rd view is unavoidable.

Do a search :) this has been covered extensively

 

That is not to say a consensus has been reached though

Hello, msy, welcome to the forums.1PP vs. 3PP has been extensively 'discussed' in the forums in many places already. No consenses has (or will) be reached. Both have their place. We have the ability, now, to lock our servers to 1PP and create a level playing field for all of the 1PP players. If this is your prefered play style, then I'd suggest you try to find these servers. Filter for '3PP:OFF' in the server browser.

 

The animations are still needed in 1PP, and I'd doubt that there are that many efficiencies around them based on the players chosen perspective.

Because for whatever reason they left negative mouse acceleration in which I have only seen in bad console ports. When they remove that then FPS look will be much better.
