- In video games, "third-person" refers to a graphical perspective rendered from a fixed distance behind and slightly above the player character. This viewpoint allows players to see a more strongly characterized avatar, and is most common in action games and action adventure games. Games with this perspective often make use of positional audio, where the volume of ambient sounds varies depending on the position of the avatar.
There are primarily three types of third-person camera systems: the "fixed camera systems" in which the camera positions are set during the game creation; the "tracking camera systems" in which the camera simply follows the player's character; and the "interactive camera systems" that are under the player's control.

- QUOTE: The term Third Person is generally applied to games which show the character the gamer is playing as, from behind the character. This allows the whole character to be seen, and a larger field of view.
View from a third person perspective.In most Call of Duty games, spectating a player will allow the user to pick from two cameras, a first-person camera or a third-person camera. This is the only way third person can be viewed on console games without glitching (excluding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2).
