So I've found it enjoyable to play this in 3rd person (I'm on 360) but when i dont have my weapon drawn the camera is WAY too close to my character, its gotten closer and closer as the game has gone on for some unknown reason and its even closer with my weapon drawn than it used to be. Does anyone know if i can change the distance between my character and the camera? Thanks in advance

What I read is you can hold the right stick in, and move up and down with the left. Haven't tried this yet though.

Thanks! I'll give this a shot once i refuel with some dinner, cannot stop playing!

No problem. I've had the same problem too, but never bothered to find a solution. Glad you asked this question.

Yep.
It should have been listed in the controls section as many thought it was a bug.

But this is, indeed, how it works in 3rd person.
1. Press down on RS (right stick)
2. Move LS (left stick)...Forward to zoom in/Backward to zoom out.

Note: The game automatically zooms out a bit from your character when you draw your weapon in 3rd person.
This isn't exactly bad when attacked by multiple foes.
However, if it isn't to your liking, simply repeat the steps above whilst weapon is drawn to your desired range of view.

Hope that helps. Now GO PLAY!

ThanX to the OP for asking this question + ThanXX to Nefarious One for the answer! ~ I was scouring the threads looking for the same solution!
