Play Unreal Tournament 3 from an over the shoulder view, like Gears of War or Mass Effect. This new camera view enhances the action and really brings you into the fight!
Enter the battle with an over the shoulder camera and see the Action from an all new perspective! Action Cam is designed to offer better visibility, depth, and feedback to the player than the normal first person view, and offers pixel-perfect accuracy.

ChangeLog
Some minor tweaks
Added zooming function. It's quite hack but work well.
Description:
Update 1.2
Added chasing. Now camera will have more action, while your cahracter is moving around.
Update!
Zoom function added. It's bounded do right mouse button, so I suggest to change you alt fire button, to middle-mouse button or whatever you like.
Make sure you have proper FoV for resolution you are using. I have hardcoded 105 and it's fine for 16:9 and 16:10 screens. If you are suing 4:3 you should change it to something like 90. Or even smaller.
There won't be scaling. I think current offsets of camera should make happy everyone. ;p
That's all for now.
After fancy-shining title of topic, time to calm down
1. Source code for mutator is included. You are free to use it, without any restrictions. In fact, one of golas of this mod is to provide good base for 3rd person camera, to use by other people in their creations. It would be great if, when use this code, and make improvments to it, to share it with commnity to, but this is not required.
2. For now, mod will be releasde now as mutator. Later installation as TC will come. That's because, mod is incomaptibile, with some other mutators, and installing it as TC will make more sense.
3. Mod is compatibile only With UT3 2.0 (aka Titan Pack), which should be release 5th march. And my mod will come to download along with it.
4. Cook for Ps3 is not available , but source code is included. So you can cook it, and publish for PS3.
5. And last but not least, GoW character from screenshot are not included, you can find them on Epic Forums.
Know Issues:
1. Bullets from Stinger, Link Gun, AVRIL, and Rocket Luncher don't spawn properly. You can see this clearly on Stinger
2. Link Gun have problems with, targeting. Bullets don't fly to center of crossiar instead flying around, wiich in big disntaces cloud provide with missing crossair entaierly.
3. Mod cloud be not compatibile, with mods like BattleRPG, some character mods etc. It will work, but some thing cloud behave strange. Like you will not be able to zoom with sniper rifle. This is know and unfixable, until Epic include good working 3rd person cam in UT3 code base, or developers of other mods make it compatibile with mine
Credits:
Fall, Neoaez, those who answred for my question in this forum. (epicforum)
I have reused back trace detection from ActionCam mutator, and Weapon code from mk3rdpersonmutator.
Extract the zip to "My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\".
Usage:
When starting a game, the mutator will show up in the mutator list as normal. If you wish to configure it, select it in the list of enabled mutators then click on the "configure" button at the bottom of the screen.
* Gib Multiplier: The number of gibs will be increased by this factor. Setting very
high will slow down your computer. Setting ridiculously high may cause a crash.
* Gib Friction: This option is currently disabled.
* Gib Restitution: This option is currently disabled.
* Gib Speed: Controls how fast gibs fly.
* Gib Life: Gibs last this many seconds longer than normal.
* Extra Splatters: Enable this to force all weapons to cause blood splatters on hitting (usually only the bullet weapons do this).
The configuration menu limits the values you can set to reasonable quantities. If you want to experiment with more extreme settings, you can edit them in UTMutator_Gibalicious.ini
Note that you may not see all the extra gibs if you have low gore enabled, you have world detail set very low, or you are running below MinSmoothedFrameRate.
All options are client-side, so the settings you choose on your computer will be used for you if you connect to a multiplayer game running this mutator.
