Do you use servers with 3rd person enabled?

[blueskin 5]

Title says it all really, just wondering who out there uses 3rd person or which type of server you prefer..

I just like to run with 3dp on because I get much better view of my surroundings then. I have never had to use it to peak around corners and such.

I love the 3rd person on but I hate regular difficulty .. Name tags must be off or I will not be playing that server

3rd person on but always on veteran/expert servers. Preferably without crosshairs. I won't even go into how much nametags ruins the experience..

I prefer servers with third person on for the increased situational awareness it provides. It makes me feel more comfortable sniping when I can look around myself to see if anyone is behind me.

As for servers with nametags, I never play on them. While it works both ways, I don't want anyone to spot me in my ghillie suit simply because they hover their mouse over the general area I'm at.

I love having it on while exploring, It lets me look at more sceneray while going cross country.

I prefer to use skill.

I normally use it while im running and such.

I'm basically forced to use third person.

I get so low FPS most of the time that first person is a deathtrap.

I don't mind third-person being enabled, because the FOV in ArmA II is claustrophobic.

The first person view is like looking through a tube. Only with third person view do you actually get something similar to the situational awareness you'd have in real life.

It's a shame, but with a game projected on a 2D screen there's not much else to do! Besides someone buying Eyefinity setups for everyone. :D

Yes, I always play in third person veteran servers.

If first person let you see more then the pinhole it does currently then I might play on first person only servers, but for now it's third person or I don't play on the server.

The field of view is something you can set by the way, check it out here:

Off ofcourse. its a bit like cheating for me because you can see around corners etc, thats just lame.

btw to the guys complaining about FoV, double tap minus on numpad to get a higher fov ;D

I love it, Looks cool if you are all kitted out and crouching across a field in a ghillie :D

3dp:on ch: off. Nametags off. I like looking at my char, mainly it's because 1st person is so messed up. Third person in this game is more like a 1st person pov anyway.

[Josh225 129]

I play third person simply because i like the field of view i get and the fact that 1st person seems to drop fps for me, and don't lie; peeking around corners is at it's very least a perk.

Or you can get 2 more monitors.

Arma supports 3 monitors, that means you can get a much bigger field of view.

I play 3rd person 100% of the time.

First Person with running and rolling around gives me a headache.

I use third person view when traveling long distances as the camera shaking gives me a bit of eye strain

[Squirreli 14]

3rd person mode = peeking around walls = annoying as hell. I want a chance to see the person spying on me, no matter how slim.

Nametags = partial wallhack = no way I'll play on one of those servers. Right now, without enough different skins, identifying own squad is way too difficult, but nametags are not the answer

crosshair = unpreferable but tolerable option

[Jean Jacques Serrault 37]

3rd person off on Expert server.

I always go to 3rd person servers, but I hate the name tag ones.

[calabam 55]

I like running around in 3rd person then jumping to ironsites for combat , also being in constant first person view make me feel ill after a while !
