First-person only mode is out now (noted in the UI with the caveat of "beta"), and that's all I've been playing since. It does become a different game, and there are some things to get used to. For example, when entering buildings to loot weapons and equipment, it requires a bit more diligence to be sure you don't miss a useful item, because of the fact that you can't see the areas around you other than the field of view you're directly facing. It's not a disadvantage of course, because it applies to all players, but it does highlight one reason that it's not always easy for a development team to just change the player perspective in a game and call it done, it requires some thought as to how the gameplay will be affected. Overall, it does feel like there's a bit more work to be done on first person mode, but it is more than playable in its current form. Everyone I've played with in duo mode says they prefer playing in first-person.
