Why do games like Gears and Kill.Switch get credit for inventing cover...

Kill.Switch is still significant because it introduced blind-fire, which I don't think Winback and Headhunter have (I've played both, but don't remember).

Damn...I never played this game but it looks like you are right. You are also right in saying that you couldn't blind fire in headhunter. I don't know about Winback but the reason why I made this thread is because I fired up the dreamcast and played a few games yesterday...

While playing headhunter I realized that I was playing it exacly like I would Gears of War...roll, cover, fire, roll...etc
