The thing is, in RL the person sneaking up on you sees that.

This feature isn't really a problem though. Unrealistic in some ways, but definetly not our biggest problem. As Tod said it should be disabled if we had proper movement sounds because it basically is a workaround for the lack of spatial hearing (not sure about how to say that in english).

that is abosolutely true, i would also think it would be ncie to have the chars literally turn their heads, but that is not possible afaik (or atleast it would take a shitload of time?)
I also think that a red glow or something like some people have suggested would make it look unrealistic (yes it's unrealistic that people can see behind them without turning.. but a freaking glow? i mean... wtf?)

anyways; with the two current scenarios being either having it like it is now or totally disabling it, i definitely think keeping it as it is now is the best.

Actually, I don't use it much. More due to lazyness than over-confidence. I often look around, but I only use the regular camera to do it.

And how do you spot cav coming behind you?

You can't compare to rl, i mean in a second i can look right and left and be aware of my surrounding, it's not even like that in the game.
So yeah it's unrealistic but it's the only way.

half the helmets in the game would restrict your neck movement, so unlikely you see the rear 90° arc at all without significantly slowing yourself down by twisting your entire body

Why do scrub suggestions like this still piss me off when I do not even play anymore?

Oh I remember, because some asshole will say 'oh how will you know it's shite until we try it' and next thing you know.. it's in the game.

The turning head so they know you're watching idea is stupid; you should always assume they are watching. If your reflexes are bad enough that it makes a difference, uninstall.

I don't know about you guys, but 90% of the time I can tell if someone has spotted me or not using it when I'm coming from behind them. Most people (90%) try to look way too innocent or do stuff that gives away their intentions of counter-ambushing you. If they haven't seen you, they'll be moving in a way/doing stuff that they wouldn't do if they knew someone was about to stab them in the back. Also, keep in mind that if they are using the 360 view, their character will ONLY be staring forward, not turning even a bit.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

I was throwin it out there as an alternative option for whiners to whine for, I don't think anything needs to be changed with the way ` works
