Third Person Camera

Recommended Posts

In the latest version XAM mod, the third person camera on foot is extremely good. In vehicles, it is the default third person camera. I am a person who very much enjoys third person in games. I believe that the third person camera should have a certain movement to it. The kind of movement that would be made by someone following you with a portable camera and recording you. If you have seen GRAW 2's(Xbox 360 and PS3. Not PC.) third person camera, that is what I'm talking about. Notice how it has a small lag to it, and it shakes when your character runs. Then it starts to gradually stop shaking when you start to slow down. Also, notice its position behind the character. This is a great position. But if there is going to be a cover system, the camera should go lower than in GRAW 2. It should require for your character to physically peek up and look over the cover, exposing himself to the enemy to be able to see.  As your character runs faster, the camera slowly zooms out. When your character or the vehicle the character is occupying gets shot, runs into (an) object(s) in the vehicle, is close to an explosion/source of explosion(tank or something of that nature) or goes prone on foot, the camera should shake in a sudden downward motion. When your character crouches, the camera should lag a very small amount behind your character's movements. In vehicles, the camera should be to the left or right of the vehicle. On foot, the camera should be to the left or right of the character. It could be interchangeable by quickly pressing [lean left] or [lean right]. Pressing both at the same time could center the camera. In the options, there should be an option to control camera distance. The camera zoom option should be discussed for balance, though. In ArmA, it was possible to zoom the camera out or in with the +(numpad) or -(numpad). Please discuss and add to this suggestion. It is something that I would very much love to be in this game. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't put into the game originally, but was put in with a future patch. As long as it eventually gets into the game, I will be extremely happy.
