Nice respones everyone, maybe we could pairup sometime at a 1st only server? Hard to find friendlies these days with all the Shoot On Sight policy :/

Playing DayZ in 1st person view makes a huge difference.

It's much more immersive and scary that way, exploring at night with only your flashlight beam illuminating the zombies is creepy. I've found out I survive much longer on 1st person only servers, due to exploring much slower and always checking around me + people can't just cheese you with the 3rd person without being seen at all. And if the headbobbing is distracting you, you can just turn it off in the menu.

What do you think? Have you played in a 1st person only server, was it more immersive?

Peace!
