KingOfTime 267 Posted July 4, 2014 Right now just first person. I tried it once, and never played 3pp again. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frosti 2165 Posted July 4, 2014 You can actually ambush people from behind. Looking around on hardcore is very tiresome process and looking behind you takes extra effort so many people don't do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibonez 3633 Posted July 4, 2014 Hardcore is just regular without 3pp . That being said the removal of 3pp improves the game dramatically, stealth is a viable option now against players, player encounters are alot more dynamic and you no longer have people camping prone on rooftops. There are a whole lot more oooo shit moments in hardcore those special moments when 2 players see each other for the first time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagwood 680 Posted July 4, 2014 You're more likely to encounter people on regular servers though since when in town you can see over fences and across streets you shouldn't be able to. But, once you do see someone, the engagement will be much more fulfilling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never use backpacks that impede rear visibility. Get your field of vision right with the weapon sighting system, i believe just to the right of the D in Field is spot on. Be more patient and scout towns and mil areas more thouroughly, be more aware of your surroundings and always check your six. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. F* hardcore. I had to stop because of that too, one more sneak zombie attack from behind and I would die from heart attack. Also character breathing and running sounds gets too loud after ~1hour of playing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also character breathing and running sounds gets too loud after ~1hour of playing Yeah zombies are the worst at least with people it's just *gunshot* "you are dead" oh well somebody killed be but with a zombie the screen flashes, they usually fly through you after jumping and then they're making their weird squeals. Fucking horrible... I don't get why they'd have hardcore in the game so early when the only difference really is first person view... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I dont get why they added the chance for 3rd person view in the first place, if realism is what they are after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltimateGentleman 355 Posted July 5, 2014 What I dont get why they added the chance for 3rd person view in the first place, if realism is what they are after. First person is hardly realistic either, my vision isn't limited to some rectangular box with first person you can't see something running at you from the side where real people would have the peripherals(if they didn't just hear) to see movement in the corner of their eye. Looking over fences and stuff isn't realistic but you get the semi-realistic FOV with it not a tiny box.First person games are like if you cut a rectangle in a cardboard box and put it over your head. What we need is Oculus/Morpheus support... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not a fault of the game.. that's a issue with current gen tech. You can simulate peripheral vision with a multi-monitor setup. Also there is a Arma command if you're having issues with sounds not playing I believe it's shift numpad - then you type flush. It restores the sound and you're able to hear zombies or gunshots you otherwise would not be able to due to the wonkyness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but still I dont get why there has to be choice between the twoFor me HC still gives me better feel of realism because of those reason you mentioned. You see less, whether its realistic or not it makes it harder for every one, doesnt matter if you play bandit or you just want to survive with your knife.Sometimes it even makes you more cautious and thus more aware of your surroundings.

jubeidok 495 Posted July 5, 2014 3rd person is a crutch. The FOV argument is a pile of shite, it barely changes. You get to see everything without exposing yourself. That is the only reason and you know it. If you're going to use the crutch, at least man up and admit that you use it cause you like being able to see things without exposing yourself. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh shut up it's no more difficult than first person, first person is just annoying because the game isn't set up properly stop trying to act like first person makes you a better player. The FOV does change a lot it removes the rectangular view and gives you a proper view of above, below, left and right. And you can see things standing right next to you which in first person you can't anyone could walk right up next to you and you'd have no clue until you turned round, it's ridiculous. It might be "better" in the sense that it makes it harder but no way is it realistic or good I don't have a cardboard box round my head with a rectangle cut out for me to see through so I don't want that in my game thank you. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just can't say it, can you? When I go to the Battlefield or CoD forums, I don't see a single person bitching about the first person view. Not a single post about how the game should have a 3rd person view option. The point is you are given the option to use a security blanket or not to. You choose to use the security blanket. Way to go, Linus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
