Line Of sight in a 3rd person game!

Can't believe any Devs think this is a good idea! Instead of making players pop in and out of existence when behind cover, out of sight, etc... MAKE THE GAME FIRST PERSON! It is so amazingly unnatural when you see players just pop out of existence...

Its the best way of balancing the two, some people enjoy 3rd person, but get too big an advantage, Just play in 1st person and pretend 3rd isn't there if its an issue? and you wont see the pop in/out

I tested it... Pop in is still noticiable in 1st person due to the stupid range limit of how far you can see. There are MANY objects in the game in which you can be completely concealed behind and still see enemies on the other side when using 3rd person...

I was leaning out from behind a tree looking at where an enemy should be (I was in 1st person) and he was still Not popping in, untill I fully exposed myself from my cover. There needs to be NO POP IN. rather a 3rd person server or 1st person server category. If you like 1st person (Me) than you can play on a community server that ONLY allows first person. Line of sight and 3rd person is an extremely toxic mix and will never work in games with any form of combat, its an ugly system and creates to many bugs.

If this game wants to be as "Realistic" as it says, then why in the hell is my camera hovering 6 feet behind my Character? and why the hell do players vanish out of exist when the game thinks I "Can't" see them?

I was so amazingly disappointed when I noticed the pop in. I was hopping this would be better than dayz standalone, but if it countinues with this Line of Sight BS, than it won't get any where near dayz in terms of: Combat, stealth, camping, etc.

If there is any bugs in the system, and they can get ironed out, the game will be better off for it, it caters to more preferences that way, Especially if there no advantage to 3rd person, im a player that prefers first, but theres times and scenarios that i quite like 3rd person.
