Rotatable Overhead for everything but play. Bloody well does it all, looks hot, works for videos and pictures.

I only use two cameras. The default when playing, rotatable overhead when taking screenshots or w/e.

Before i had a programable mouse ( ~ 2 years ago) - Rotatable overhead, since then usual overhead as clicking middlemouse alternates bewteen click to click and free spinning scroll modes :P

For videos everything except FPS is useful. Free camera wins handsdown for smoothness with a free spinning mousewheel.



Ive just started playing a few games again and noticed you can view scripts etc on replays. Is there a way to use this to edit repays? For example, stop all drawing or points appearing whilst watching?

I use a customized version of regret's camera. Beats everything else so far hands down.

I've always used the default camera view for playing, as it is the most simple and fast one...

Screenshots are different ofc, I use rotatable overhead or specrun for them, mostly. I should try Regrets new camera view (iirc I had problems with it the last time I did?) but I'm lazy :( And too used to the TA cam I guess...

FPS is truly the best camera from a gameplay standpoint.

I may try it custom, zoomed out like you guys say as seeing more of he pitch can only be a good thing, right?

I think ingame is the best to use the "classical oberhead" camera. Playing is much easier with it than with one of the others.

Too distracting when I'm trying to forcibly volunteer my allies' commanders into a suicide mission.
