In game is it possible to keep the camera behind you person without having to use your mouse or any keys? If it is possible can you tell me how to do it?

    I'm not sure I understand your question. But Ballbak is right there isn't a way to "lock" your camera angle into place.
    (O.o)

    The camera always follows you. o.o'

    Although it's probably since I don't use the a & d keys (not the A and D key as most of the PWI population knows it as. I set it to move my character in that direction instead of moving the camera. More useful for kiting.) ^.^ So it seems like it's locked behind me all the time. (o.O)'

    OP means a "locked to your back" like many Third Person games camera. Whereas here if you were to press S (or mouse click) to move back towards the screen, the camera stays in place and you see your front side - but with the "locked to your back camera" the camera would automatically rotate around you.

    Well in that case Izm I suggest you play more First Person Shooters.
    Then you will start moving the camera around with your mouse as I do.
    It's faster and more efficient.

    You dont know how many times while watching a youtube video I right click to change camera angles... Then realize that I wasnt actually playing.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    I personally prefer the A/D turning over strafing to be honest. Turning is a breeze like that and the camera stays behind me when i do so (hold W to walk, A/D to turn). I can turn around even faster with the use of the mouse lol. There's no strafing, but thats something thats not really necessary in this game since you cant dodge bullets, and the only reason i can see using that would be if you wanted to turn pwi into a side scrolling gameb:laugh

    trust me when I say I understand this, but it kinda sucks that you have to right click first. although... I've had my mouse glitch before - a couple of them in fact - to the point where the game thought i had it right clicked when i really did notb:laugh

    ? glitch? what kind of glitch?
    (O.o)
    ooooo I know your paw eye coordination is not fully able to handle it. (Me recommend more FPS for you too.) (>.<)' lols years of counter strike (not source DX source sucks **** too dam easy) pays off in bizarre ways. (^.^)'
    What your doing is pressing both left and right clicks at the same time which sends your screen into um like a camera mode where moving your mouse moves the screen without holding on the right click button.

    sorry you couldn't understand my question. To state it simply I want to know if I can keep the camera behind me.

    Headshot! Terrorists win.

    No, you can't lock it. But a button for automaticl adjusting your cam behind you would be nice.
    If i m trolling and spamming on forum...then i cant sleep and need a good laugh
