    One feature I would like is the ability to define some predefined height level.
    When you zoom in/out, it would stick to those level if it's close enough.

    Some sort of tiered zoom levels for perhaps keyboard zoom would indeed be nice. Keyboard zoom in supcom was pointless.

    hotkeying zoom height and/or camera positions like you can hotkey locations in starcraft would be good

    Bookmarking zoom heights is fine, but I would prefer that zoom be continuous otherwise. There should be no detents or breaks in the zoom, like in Supcom 2.

    Wait what? Are you people serious!?

    Change the casters not the game.

    Removing the strategic zoom from the game is completely unreasonable, it's there for a reason, the whole game is designed with it in mind (If you havent played supcom try that game, and then mod out strategic zoom and try it again). Rotation while not as vital as the strategic zoom can still be very usefull.

    Removing zoom and rotation from replays would ruin things for anyone wanting to make a fan tribute or any other kind of a cinematic video (and while the majority may not care about such things there are still plenty of people that do).

    If they remove it from observation (as in while the game is playing and not from a replay) i could live with it, but most casters use replays anyway so it wouldent change the situation.

    Some way to hotkey zoom heights or similar functionality is a good idea, the rest is (in my opinion atleast) not feasible.

    Exactly what garatgh said. I can't believe this is being discussed, to be honest...

    I think we shouldn't even have a camera feature. Just have the camera zoomed in max and locked on the commander.. You can build buildings and walk around, everything else is completely ai.

    I agree, remove the camera movement completely, have it set in the commander and watch just him, no planets, no units, just watch the commander and GG
