Suggestion: Option to Disable Auto Shoulder Swapping
Sorry if this has been asked already, I couldn't find any mention of it here. The Steam forums do decry the situation though.
I find the camera's tendency to swap sides on its own extremely obnoxious and disorienting. It has even gotten me killed at least once. It gets to the point where simply brushing against a wall or going through a doorway will invariably make the camera spazz around randomy.
I know it's tied to the automatic cover system, and how walking to the left while in cover will swap shoulders to give you a better look and such. I like the cover system as it is, save for the shoulder swapping which is unnecessary, and in fact hinders me far more than it can help me. It's way too sensitive and keeps triggering when I don't want it to. It also seems a tad buggy, sometimes going into fine aim mode will swap shoulders randomy, even without any obstacles nearby.
I'm no expert, but I would expect that adding an option to disable this behaviour to be rather simple. Just make it so that I have to swap shoulder manually, and my enjoyment of the game will increase quite a bit. Either that or make it so that it automatically goes back to the side it was last set to manually when leaving cover. I'd prefer the former solution though.
I thank you for your time, and hope you will consider implementing my suggestion.
