1. I couldn't agree more. One of the big reasons why I didn't enjoy the Starhawk beta, and ended up not getting the game, was the change from the traditional 3rd person view to the over the shoulder view. Drove me nuts. I went back to play a game of Warhawk for comparison and I had a ton of fun with it.
2. I don't mind a cover system if it's done well, but I suck when using them in many games, so I end up dying a lot more than I should.
3. I don't mind this. I like a mix of both, though.
Ratchet & Clank is my number one choice for 3rd person style shooting.
