Why First-Person Cinematics matters

The perspective places the player directly inside conversations and transitions between sorties, rather than limiting character development to radio chatter.

What is confirmed—and what is not

First-person scenes do not prove free exploration, dialogue wheels, inventory management or a walkable carrier map.

Practical player guidance

Describe these sequences as cinematic story presentation until official or retail evidence demonstrates freely controlled exploration.
