A more intelligent view system

Really helped when you were on someone's six, but obviously no good for having a general look around. I think you could still use HAT for that...

Interesting. I don't know why more flying and driving games don't implement that to some degree. You would still have your HAT to override the auto look and you could adjust how much look ahead you like in the settings. For most situations just a subtle shift in the view would help alot.

Hopefully they will get the motion tracking tech up to speed for the consoles pretty soon.
