I'm talking about the same perspective as the one on the spawn point in D28, Vana. Maybe a bit more from the top and a bit further away
We could trigger it from the options, as we could choose between the regular view and that one, and just play normally.
However, this would restrict our FOV immensely if it was locked, so I suggest being able to look around by moving our mouse to either side.
Now, this does have several flaws that I cannot see how to fix and disadvantages some players, but thats why its triggerable. I dunno how hard would it be to implement.. just throwing it out here in hopes its not too hard to do and OOO sees it as a good addition to spice up game experience.
A new perspective to see the game from, top-back

well the idea as a whole isnt bad
but what youre talking about is. looking at my character from behind constantly would only piss me off, although, i have thought several times that they do need a camera angle adjustment. maybe the standard, the one you get during rt/vana stage 2&4, and one in between would be nice, but leave that fodder abt being behind your avatar and rotating the camera out of it.

Well, that's why I say that we could trigger it. The current angle would stay, and this one (and maybe others?) would be added as options, and you could switch between them at will.

I would love a new
I would love a new perspective. I hate how the bottom part of the screen is like half the size of the top part. There are certain attacks that become very difficult to dodge when they come from below, and you are at a definite disadvantage when moving downwards.

Eeyup. :(
Theres still several technical challenges with this, I guess, particularly getting the camera to scroll around. And it would be disadvantaging for gunners and bombies... idk what to do about that, thats up to OOO. Q_Q

LoA
I just ran a LoA mission (and failed :P) But i noticed that in the lobby there is a similar viewpoint. only, as OP stated, a little farther away and higher. something like that?
Hmm.
I would personally like to see the ability to change the game perspective at will. It would help out a lot in certain situations (LD strikers have the habit of dashing up from the blind patch at the base of the screen, Slags can dash very quickly from below), although being able to rotate PoV would be nicer for me... anyway, +1 to perspective switching.
