3rd person view - please add 'alt' option to pan camera
First off; I've refunded for now. I thought this game might be for me, but as of right now, it's not. I will no doubt come back to it at a later date.

But what do most people think of the 3rd person perspective?? I don't mind 3rd person where you can still aim down sights (PUBG for example, Arma 3 too).

However, I find that the camera perspective is positioned where the actual character takes up too much screen space and blocks your view. This would be fine if I could hold 'alt' and move the camera around to look.
As it is now, the 'alt' key just zooms in and the character blocks even more of a % of the screen.

You could just use the tactical scanner, does basically that and let's you see enemies/loot through walls.

Yeah I agree. So many times I'm seeing someone to the right and someone starts shooting me from the left who wasn't there before. Like zero peripherals.

3rd sucks as it blocks your view massively and ads is not much better. We need a better pov and 3rd view. Would like a 1st but don't think they want that.

Also if your mate is too close your blind and also happens when enemies are in your face.

I agree that it's unconventional and difficult at times, but it does feel intentional. I get a similar vibe from the movement mechanics, like only being able to turn with your mouse when running.

I think both add tension to the game and I enjoy their presence, but also basic game mechanics like that are usually pretty similar, so it's nice to see something new.

It needs a touch up, maybe a shoulder swap. I'm running around with guns set to scoped for the far reaching cam, then use the 3rd person aiming for combat mostly.

Melee is great for the fast crawling cyborgs, they are the only mob i have had issues landing headshots on

The ability to look around you when sneaking, running or sprinting would most definitely be one of the best QOL features for the game!
Personally I really miss it in here after punching quite few hours in ARMA series and running in a wide open world without it, nowadays feels like missing a critical game play feature, for example like jump or interacting with E button.

Camera rotation is a must-have for a stealth game!

Really enjoying the game, but shoulder swap, a proper lean and ability to look when running arma/tark style would be at the top of my requests.
