Yeah I agree totally. I'm so used to weapons reticules and aim helpers damn can't think of what you call it...
Anyways I just started using vet mode as I really never paid attention to it before. And I've found not having any of that stuff enabled is challenging and fun. I guess after a time you get so good that you know where to aim in 1st person without the weapons view. No crosshairs (thats it!) was weird the first time but I'm getting better...
Any vehicles I prefer 3rd person because I get a better pericpial view so I dont get "flat" tires from bumping a tree to much.
I use 1st person for combat and peace time mostly unless I'm straining to see over that hill so the guy doesn't surprise me.
Stupid Q: What would 2nd person view be like?
EDIT: GRK's fav weapon list
M21
RPG (rpgs don't fall as fast as laws do when going long distance)
Glock silenced
binocualrs
NVs
other favs
SVD Dragunov
AA stinger
FFARs: cant get enough of those Mi17 rocket pods!
XM-177E2: good for multi, small recoil, accurate as M16 and has an auto + nice sound
UZI: lives up to its showings in other games very well, gets 32 bullets out quicker then you can say OPERATION FLASHPOINT
G36a:good for everything, all firing modes + scope
Steyr: Nice compact weapon, auto, cool scope =get guy in little circle and boom!, sounds cool
S&W: most poerful handgun out there, cool recoil effect, sound, gives you an old west feel
There you go..... ;D
