[HOWTO?] Camera Angles

[ALLAH]

How do i rotate and tilt the camera angle?

You use the Alt key. Press it once, move mouse to desired angle and press alt key again.

This is the biggest gripe I have with the game. That camera is begging to be set to RMB like in HW series!!!!

[Trent28]

Cant you just bind it to another key?

[ilia1986]

AFAIK, you cant bind keyes in the beta.. but thats only me (played only for half an hour).

Ah thanks.
Its nice to rotate so you can see all the nice graphics BUT i agree ilia1986 using alt is crap and time wasting!

In retail you'll be able to bind stuff how you want it.

Well if the camera had worked in the same way as In The Ground Control series, it would be magnificent.

I agree...
"Codename: Panzers" is good too with middle mouse button

The camera is very counter-intuitive. You almost have to train yourself specifically for your hand and brain to make the link. It's getting better but it's still a hassle. There weren't any options to change XY axis but I sure did look for one seconds after wrestling with the way it works now. There should be an implementation to give players more control over how they want it handled control-wise.

yes i agree the camera is crying to be set like that in homeworld 2 has ,in my opinion one of the best rts camera controls, this reminds me bit of c&c generals which still feels a little clunky to me.

[ilia1986]

Just bind the Camera to the RMB. Thats all I ask, Relic.

Can we get a default view button too?

[Ulthwe]

To get to the default view press the Backspace key.

Much as I love the GC camera I don't think it'd be suited to DoW. On the other hand, some kind of intutive mouse-based camera control is badly needed.

[Bard]

biggest annoyance for me is that holding the centre mouse button and moving the mouse moves the map.

problem is is that it does it counter intuitively.

push up and the view moves down, left and it moves right - ANNOYING - i hope we get the option to reverse the inputs.

Personally I love the Camera feature, its very intuitive for me, however I work in 3D graphics so.... well, just my two cents

[eobet]

I use the "2D" camera option, so I don't think I even can rotate it. The only thing I'm annoyed by is the inability to zoom out far enough (or tilt the camera slighty upwards, so that you can see behind certain tall buildings better... but as units light up behind buildings, that's minor).
