Third: The ability to toggle beetween 3rd and 1st person view to not only camp corners but also
to not get caught from behind which comes the reality more near then the tunnelview of other fps
because in reality you will feel that something is coming from behind unless its sneaking on
what you are not doing in this games. It also gives you a better overview for you next steps.
For cloakers its most important to sneak trough enemy lines.

PS is a tactical shooter first at all - without tactics you will be very dead very soon.
Knowing whats behind the corner is necessary to play tactical.

Last but not least: Getting awareness of the sound that you are hearing like footsteps,
a cloaker that is pulling a knife/boomer right next to you (will be dead very fast).
If you played PS long enough you know every single sound, so you also know if there
was just someone pulling out his jackhammer his lasher his nade whatever.
This is something most people are used to from other games too.
if your worried about getting hit from behind then you need to check your six, you talk about tactics, there you go, your able to turn you character all the way around, and quickly, if you hear a sound, and look for cloakers, or other hostiles, its not that hard to do, as far as checking corners, there are 2 ways, 1) most fps games have a ''lean'' button, letting you lean to the left or right, very usefull for checking corners without giving a large target 2) you 'pie' the corner http://tgace.com/2009/08/19/tactical-preschool-4/ , real world tactics
