The Camera

[Free Palestine]

There is no reason that the camera cannot be directly behind your character. As it is, if you steer straight, you will drift left or right, and it's very, very irritating. How do you center the camera BEHIND THE CHARACTER, NOT OVER THE SHOULDER.

Did you try adjusting the 'camera' section in the game settings menu?

Btw, this is not a "Banjo and Kazooie" style console platformer. It is also not Hitman or Splinter Cell. Seeing your third person avatar from 'the side' allows you to digest more information, if you play completely without HUD/UI, about your character health. It is also more cinematic.

This game has a 'dynamic cover' system, which allows your player character to 'stick' to objects at close range. It takes a bit of time to get used to the movement. I would have preferred to switch 'left/right', but that is not this game.

I have no idea what references you're talking about, but the simple fact you can't CHOOSE to put the camera DIRECTLY BEHIND YOU is a mistake. It's not hard. No, this game is garbage on that alone. All they had to do was give us an option. REFUNDED.

The fact that the game allows a third person camera AND iron sights is pure genius. This way, one get the best of both worlds, in a way.

I get the arguments about a camera behind the player BUT that would make it difficult to see what is ahead.

I love first person games, but Breakpoint is probably the first third person game that I am enjoying so much (on a par with ARMA 3).

There is a cheat thing you can download to put the cameras view basically from the characters eyes. So all you see is the arms hands and gun. Using this doesn't give you any advantage other than first person view. I have tried it and it works pretty good. There's a video of how to do it on utube.

Forgot to mention this will also change the view when driving or flying.

How would you aim straight ahead if the character was blocking the camera?

There is good reason most third person shooters use over the shoulder.
