Classic controller camera controls
We brought back the camera controls from Desperados III and Shadow Tactics. You can switch under "Options" > "Gameplay" > "Camera Follow Mode" and change it to Standard.
In this mode you can pan the camera with the right stick. When you hold down RT you can zoom and rotate with the right stick. You can pin the camera to the current selected player by tapping RT. This was D-pad down in [i]Desperados III [/i]and [i]Shadow Tactics.[/i]
