A while back - it must have been around 2000-2005 because that's when I stopped video games for a while...so it's not old-old, but it's not a very known game and I need the name of it. I'm producer and lead designer for a video game that'll be released in December 2011 and I need that game to study; it has a characteristic in it that I need. Basically it was a stupid, pointless, Third person shooter with no plot, just running around a city shooting hundreds of bad guys or good guys or whoever...I got to level 3 and quit. But the one feature that stuck out: the use of cover. I'm not sure if any games have done this since then, but it worked like this: Whenever cover was around (a wall, a car in the street, etc) you could push a button when near the object/building, and the character would turn around to face the camera, and crouch with his back against the wall. You could press a second button and he would blindfire (shoot over the top of the source of cover without looking), or move around the side of the object or source of cover to shoot...it was just a cool feature and I was wondering if anybody knows the name of the game I'm talking about. If not, are there any similar TPS games that use creative uses for cover?

I'm not sure what game this is, but to answer one of your questions, I'm pretty sure Gears of War has that kind of "cover system".

Search urban dictionary for the term "popamole".

It was likely Kill.Switch.

The Uncharted series and Gears of War series both adopted that form of cover.

You're producer and lead designer on a game and can't think of any 3rd-person shooters with cover system? As was said, it was probably Kill Switch, the game Gears of War, Uncharted, Army of Two and tons of other games adapted their systems from.

Gotta be Killswitch. Winback didn't have blind-fire, which is the only game I can think of that fits your description. There were othergames that allowed you to take coverlike Psi-Ops and Headhunter, but they had deeper gameplay.
