The world of shooter video games is a lot about view perspectives. While a section of us prefer to experience the in-game world realistically, others are more comfortable with a third-person viewpoint. Most shooter video games usually stick to one view perspective to set a trend.
For example, fans have always known Fortnite as a ‘third-person shooter’. But recent speculations have pointed at a chance that Fortnite may be receiving a first-person camera mode very soon!
To accommodate a greater audience, some video game developers strive to add both view perspectives in separate modes. However, some popular shooter games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Call of Duty have always hosted first-person camera modes only.
