The new cover system is used from a third-person perspective. You can hide behind something - a bench, a cupboard, a big rock - and then, without having to exit cover and re-enter it, run from spot to spot.

It serves as a reminder of the wider obstacles faced by this particular franchise—one that can be nimble, competitive, and invigorating—but yet is a behemoth always struggling against the weight of its reputation in a changing creative landscape.
