So I finally bought this after watching what must be dozens of hours of streams. I am going to be horrible at this game.
Nothing?

I didn't like it in Arma 2 and 3 and i don't like it here. It completely ruins engagements for me. It is far too much of an advantage for everyone and makes firefights less thrilling and dangerous and gives a player too much awareness of surroundings. Hiding behind a wall using the camera to spot with no risk just isn't as much fun for me.
I always play Arma and it's numerous mods in first person only when available.

3rd Person will remain the most popular. 1st Person will be for the hardcore players. Hopefully the 1st person servers keep a solid player base though.
I completely understand the draw to 1st Person but god damn that is going to be tense beyond what my heart can probably take.

third person means you can never knowingly control an engagement and makes suppression next to pointless, it's actually a disadvantage to pin the other player down.
people say first person is tense, but i find it much less tense to know that anyone who can see me needs line of sight. as is, i can't approach a treeline or building without thinking someone is just lying prone below a window or rock and tracking me the whole way. it replaces many of the more rewarding and knowable elements of engagements by tacky and random ones.
third person will be how a lot of people start playing, but once you start racking up the hours i can't imagine many people not transitioning to the game type with more depth.

If you really want to press V for 1st person, but 1st person only servers aren't in yet.

you'll get good faster than you expect to.
Yeah the blue circle gets really strong at the end and if you underestimate the distance you have to go or someone slows you down with a firefight it can kill you easily.
I agree with this. In 3rd person, scouting your surroundings can be pointless because you often can't see others while they can see you.

I wouldn't be so sure of that, I think most people would prefer it.

I'm just waiting for the patch to fix the lag issue. Outside of that I think I've had more fun in this game than I ever had in H1Z1 or Day Z. I can't really put my finger on why, maybe it's the fact that there is no assumption that they won't shoot me on sight. Or maybe it's the speed with which I can die and be in another game in seconds.
All I do know is that I do way better by myself than I do with my friends.

I think I just had my best game which unfortunetly ended in the most frustrating way (bug related).
I got 5 of my best kill yet, all in a duel and one was pretty epic.
He tried to run over me, missed, then landed a couple of shot that put me at ~5% HP while I was trying to reach a cover behind a wall. I used a first-aid while he was closing the distance but I had a shotgun so I switched and killed him instantly.
Now for the bug, We were only 3 left, I had an AR with an 8x and landed my first shot at a guy that took his helmet off but somehow the 8x got removed from my weapon and I was left with the generic sight. I couldn't finish the guy and I died to a headshot.

Well I got a few kills and a top 10 finish in my first 4 rounds but the top 10 finish didn't feel like much, ha ha. I was chasing the circle the whole time and only had 1 kill.
This coming next week and i really hope they will also introduce FPP only mode also next week.
I mean from code standpoint it is so easy change, should've be done a long time ago.

Just had a tense punch off where I survived with the tiniest sliver of health, then died because the game glitched out and it refused to switch guns for me.

Where do they say next week on the FOV addition? Only seen 'at a later time.'
I believe the monthly patch is supposed to come next week, haven't seen anything specific about FOV though.
"FOV will be adjustable from the settings menu in-game in a future update."

Which is next week.

Sorry to beat a dead horse here but again, all it says is in a future update. I don't see it saying next week anywhere.

Played the most amazing round yet:
I have gotten better ranks, but this time I killed 5 and tagged at least 3 others. I died on the last circle as I landed 3 hits but still the opposition managed to take me out with a single SCAR headshot (against a LVL 3 helmet even
)

This was prob my best performance yet. Friend died with 40 left and I had a bunch of fun kills afterwards including shooting two people out of their car.
I've won rounds, but those were only around 3-4, this felt great. Had another duo round yesterday with 6 or 7. My success rate skyrockets if I get hands on a 4x.
Had a little moment earlier today:

Slimmer shoulder, arms and legs. Hitboxes should be same between genders.

Is there a key to toggle the shoulder the camera hovers over?
Not permanently, but when holding down RMB you can swap shoulders with Q & E. Swap stays as long you keep aiming.

Oh, that's odd. Thanks.
Played and refunded it earlier today. Enjoyed it a little, but it just needs the polish for me to really enjoy it. With so many games out right now and a lot of early access projects keep stalling, I'd rather use that money on something else right now. I also felt someone aimbotted me when I was one shot noscoped from distance while I was at full boost speed in a buggy.
Fundamentals are great though. Will keep checking in on the progress.

What weapon was used? What tier helmet you had? <T3 helmet and being shot to head with K98, M24 or AWM will rek you. SKS is 50-50.
Do you know where the attacker was? A few games ago, I killed a bunch of people on cars, out of which two were killed in one shot each. The play area was on the military island at the south and I was waiting on one side of the bridge while everybody was coming in. It was pretty easy to one shot them since from my point of view, they weren't moving much, just getting closer to me.

As someone who has been on the other end of that situation, definitely doesn't require an aimbot. Drive unpredictably next time.

Can't wait for bullet penetration to be put in. Will just pop few rounds through any fukboishak I come across.

Placed 7th, 3 kills. I feel pretty good with how I'm progressing in 4 rounds but god it's stressful.

that feeling when you toss a grenade through a 2nd floor window and kill someone
I can't wait for the videos where somebody has an M249 in Squads and they find a four dudes in a fukboishak and they just light it the fuck up and watch them get erased on kill screen.
Ha! Some guy got me out in the open when I only had a gun on me but I got behind a tree with 5% life left. He thought he could take me by going prone and camping the tree I was behind. Peeked sideways round the tree and got him with a headshot. Someone else got me when I was looting his stuff though
It was mostly the way he snapped to a player on the roof miles away after killing me. Really unnatural movement.
Either way, I'm annoyingly missing it now and fancy a match. Maybe I was too hasty heh.
