So hooking a camera up to a monitor is too hard?

I'm a gamer, not a techhead yet even I can do that.

Yet, the point being made earlier in the thread is that CryEngine 3 doesn't have the support to do so natively (which is a failure on CryTek's part), and the resources (time, money, personnel, etc) that PGI would have to dedicate to jury-rigging a workable solution are arguably better spent elsewhere (such as working on existing bugs, getting the Clan content ready for launch, plugging away at CW, and so on).

It's likely not as simple as "map key to 'switch to 3rd person and rotate viewport 180 degrees'"...

If the cryengine can only render one view, make a button, which changes the front view to back view while pressing.

This. We had this in MW4, why not here?

So much for "We want people to see what MW can look like with todays technology". Yeah, apparently we can't even have picture in picture because you decided to use the wrong engine.
