Third-person shooters are a type of video game where the player views the action from a perspective behind the character they are controlling. This perspective allows players to see more of their surroundings compared to first-person shooters, which can be advantageous for strategic gameplay. In these games, players typically use firearms to eliminate enemies and complete objectives, with the camera positioned over the character's shoulder or slightly above and behind them. Third-person shooters often involve cover-based mechanics, allowing players to take shelter behind objects to avoid enemy fire. Examples of popular third-person shooters include Gears of War, Uncharted, and The Division.
