What is the Camera?
When Warzone was released in 1999, it was one of the first real-time strategy game to be in 3D. Now, most real-time strategies are in 3D, but, if you're not used to the new trend, let us help you along.
Basic Controls
- Moving: To move where you're looking at, move the mouse to the edge of the window/screen, or use the arrow keys.
- Rotating: To rotate the view, hold down the right mouse button, and move the mouse in any direction. (The view can also be rotated using 8 and 2 (up/down), or 4 and 6 (left/right) on the numeric keypad.)
- Zooming: To zoom in or out, use the + or − keys on the numeric keypad, or use the mouse wheel.
Advanced Controls
- Reset view to north: If your camera angle feels unnatural, pressing Backspace will reset your view to the north.
- Set view to any direction: If you want to align the camera to a different direction, pressing Ctrl+[arrow key] will set your view to that direction.
- Unit Tracking: Press Spacebar when units are selected, and the camera will follow them. Press Spacebar again to stop Unit Tracking.
- Jump to base: Press B to center the view at your Command Center. Useful if you need to get back to base quickly.
- Jump to squad: If you have a squad assigned with Ctrl+[number], you can quickly jump to that squad by pressing [number] twice.

Is there a way, to make camera follow the mouse and move with arrow keys, like in most ego-shooter?

Question:
How do you change the view of the playing field by increasing or decreasing the view. If I use the - or + keys, the map will change it's viewing size. Thanks for your time.
