Nice to see the many options... Something for everyone. :)
Having seen the fixed camera mode, a thought occurred to me... I would love to see some kind of control mechanic like in Alien Swarm (free Steam game). I'm not sure how this would affect the mechanics of the game, but direction keys are used for forward/backwards/strafe and the orientation of the player is controlled by a mouse cursor on the screen. The character is aligned to the cursor.
This allows for targetted smart bombs or grenades to be launched on physics based trajectories (think throwing grenades at the mouse pointer) and very fast turning. Steel Storm definately doesn't need this and it might detract from other game mechanics, but I personally find it extremely fun and would love to see it in other games.
