Yeah I'm with you dude, that dude's attitude about it is laughable, as if it's so unbelievable that someone doesn't want or need an unfair advantage..or to just not look at something that looks like total garbage like that footage.

Same kinda people who would just boost their gamma in night maps of Arma 3 battle royale.

It depends if you want to play the game competitively or not. Some people want the game to look good and don't care about the game super seriously, which is totally okay.

Others care a lot about winning and take it serious. That is totally okay.

It's two different view points, but yeah, if you're a more competitive player you probably play at a lower graphic setting because getting good FPS + gameplay is more important than the game looking nice then. I play with lowest settings too.

Same kinda people who would just boost their gamma in night maps of Arma 3 battle royale, why even play the game at that point?

Same can be said why would I want to max everything so I have 30-60fps, laggy mess with bad response times?

Sure I could play with max settings if it was somehow forced to everyone but it isnt so I play on lowest for best experience.
Its been like that in every single multiplayer game forever and people who want to play at their best will always play at the settings that work the best.

Also the FLANKING in FPP is just amazing, you can flank people around some tiny bumps that you could never do in TPP.
I have done so many flanks around people and gone to their back and full auto them, FPP is so fun and nice and everything I ever wanted!

I'm getting 80-120 fps with max settings. I'd rather the game not look like ass when I play.

I'm getting 80-120 fps with max settings. I'd rather the game not look like ass when I play.

Not everyone has a 1080 ti though. I have hitches and stutters on medium, game looks like shit and I wonder how much of my visibility is impacted but being on low settings is a necessity to me for stability reasons.

 

[sanstesy]

Just like I thought FPP basically makes TPP obsolete.

The game is so much better this way.

It's less fun to watch, though, for some reason.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

You think you get the jump on someone, but nope, he kills you and you get 2nd place... fuck all...

 

[Nabs]

I don't. Also I wish there was a way to restrict this on PC... Why even make a game with good graphics?

I'm glad they can't restrict it, or I'd be playing at 20fps.

True that. I don't think I can go back to TPP.

It makes actual situational awareness matter so much more.

 

[sanstesy]

Not really.

Nothing is less fun than watching people third-personing the shit out of you from a stupid angle and prefire your ass. Just watching all the good players playing FPP now makes it that much more clear - way less bullshit, way less camping, way more taking risks and going into fights.

The other way around. Camping on FPP is off the charts.

The other way around. Camping on FPP is off the charts.

My take away as well. When moving is more blind than ever you don't want to move.

And a lot of streamers are playing FPP now because it's new and because they've just spent three months bitching about third person peaking so they'd better try it. Whether it sticks remains to be seen.

 

[Vipu]

So far 0 campers have been problem in FPP, I have out aimed/reflexed/flanked every camper so far.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I want to move in FPP because I know that unless they're already exposing themselves, they can't see me.

Clearing and defending houses becomes a game of rushing in and movement and jumping out of windows and balconies to get flanks, not peeking around corners. I feel more free to actually run to cover and defilade in tree and outdoor fights as well.



I say this as someone who scoffs at the idea that TPP is cheating and unfair; FPP just complements a playstyle I enjoy more.

 

[Krayz]

Camping but without seeing the person in the other room, waiting for the right moment to pounce.

Glorious, isn't it? Indoor combat becomes so much better when you know that the guy outside the window can't just tilt his camera down to survey the entire room without exposing his squishy head to my SKS.

 

[nowarning]

Took refuge in this house just inside one of the final circles, all the doors open apart from one of the rooms upstairs. I had a flash grenade. Open the door and I die to a single shotgun blast, sometimes I am so dumb. I was even thinking "I guarantee there is a guy inside this room"

 

[ffejeromdiks]

My take away as well. When moving is more blind than ever you don't want to move.

I don't know about that, I feel like moving is way safer in first person now than ever. You can get away with things that you couldn't when the other person was in third.

The biggest example is how easy it is to stay undetected from enemy vehicles now. They can't see much at all anymore, so unless they are scanning constantly with freelook while driving, they're probably going to miss you, it's refreshing to not have a car drive by...stop a few hundred feet away and start sniping you with an 8x loadout and actually be able to stay under the radar.

 

[sanstesy]

The other way around. Camping on FPP is off the charts.

It's about the same as it is in TPP in low level play/normal matchmaking because the limited view makes some people scared to move. The important difference is that camping doesn't have the humongous advantage it gives you in TPP and you will get punished. There are campers in every MP game and a good MP game will punish the ones who abuse it something which the TPP mode doesn't do at all. When you actually want to win on a consistent basis, you will want to find out information, clear out spots and as a result go into fights. And fights in FPP are more fair and balanced than any TPP fight could ever be. You won't be able to prefire from your hiding spot and at best can get an advantage out of sound cues. The way it should be.

Exactly. I feel more free than ever, especially when i'm getting raided somewhere indoors. (Or doing the raiding).

The fact that I know they don't have a magical swivel-cam floating above their heads that can expose every nook and cranny of every house without exposing them to danger makes the conflict situations feel more tense and way more tactical.

 

[low-G]

I'd just like an optional restricted mode, maybe segments of the population based on hardware. Hell, if they're going to eliminate one-make console parity the least PC devs can do is move in opposite direction...

 

[roytheone]

Had a great sniper duel on the bridge in duos. We were exchanging shots, but whenever a third duo tried to drive over the bridge we both would stop shooting each other and proceed to riddle the people that disturbed our duel with bullets. We took out 3 cars that way before the circle forced the duel to stop prematurely

I get so sad when the circle ends a good shoot out.

I mean I have a 6600K at 4.5 Ghz and a 1070 and the game runs like ass for me with the settings maxed at 1440p while simultaneously also not looking that good. Plus given how low the TTK is, low graphics and more stable performance is objectively the best way to go if you care at all about winning fights.

Seems to play better in fps mode. I get like 80fps on high using a 4770k and 1060 @1080p

 

[sanstesy]

I have literally everything on very low and screen scale maxed out. I don't think the game looks good enough to a point where I would even sacrifice one frame drop more especially with how badly optimized the game is.

At the end of the day visual clarity and performance will always reign supreme in a competitive shooter.

First time getting a ghillie suit and the AWM. The feeling of rising out of the grass and aiming down your sights at your victims is intense, wish i could have seen it from their angle.

First solo win, going to celebrate with a

Well, 980 ti in my case. But yeah, if you have to use lower settings for performance reasons that makes sense. But I'm not gonna turn down the settings to get a "competitive edge."

Stutters are just as likely from the storage the game is on. UE4 games in general really don't like being on hard drives.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Not yet. Still kinda let down that they decided to enable FPP for solo and duo and leave squad mode out. There's no doubt some technical reasoning behind it, but I play with a larger group who all prefer to run squad mode, so we're stuck being split up if we don't want to play TPP. I really wish this would be given as much attention as some of the other community demands/requests.

holy fuck fpp solo and duo is a horror game especially in the rain.


had me on my edge of my seat. and honestly i feel the Kar98 + 8x aint shit in fpp

What is this 1PP thing


Any chance theyll add a tdm mode (50v50). Can u use teamwork in this game in ffa?

 

[Jobbs]

Camping isn't really as viable in 1PP. You'll always be spotted first as a camper, and if you're camping inside a house you're trapped. You have no advantage at all.

And I haven't lost a fight vs. a camper in 1PP so far.

Why would you always be spotted first as the camper?

If I'm hiding in a house, I can sit still and hear the person approach. I can hear what room he's in. If I'm not moving, he won't have any idea where I am. The camper always has the advantage, it's just a bigger advantage if you're in third person.

If the guy who clears the house assumes there is camper in every room he can lean super quick and check if there was anyone in the room, then the camper is in disadvantage or about equal advantage depending from rooms.

It's absolutely viable...

It's arguable MORE viable than third person because you CAN'T use the windows and doors to peak around corners to catch campers who are waiting...

A perfect example would be a kill I got a week ago where I saw a guy in one of the apartments through a window, knew he was inside, went inside through the backdoor, walked near the doorway and rotated the camera around the door into the hall way and knew he was waiting between the staircase. It was an easy fucking kill even though he KNEW where I was coming from.

That's a kill for him in First Person when I don't have the luxury of rotating the camera around a corner, but as it stands, I won that fight easy. I have had a ton of experiences in this game where the camera look around corners has won fights against campers (for and against me) SO yeah I would absolutely argue first person is far more viable for camping. It encourages the player to play more careful since they don't have the luxury anymore to peak around corners, but it doesn't make camping less viable at all.

50v50 already exists in custom matches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgITpg1jzmU
I don't think 50v50 mode will ever be official mode.

i had a bug where i couldn't use my sights (right click) anymore. only way i could fix was to swtich weapons and back, and then it would let use the sight once before it broke again.

Does anyone play this without headphones and just using speakers? I hate wearing headphones and have a 5.1 surroudn system. Trying to decide if that would be decent of not.

Its not gonna be decent, headphones are kinda only way to play it.
