You can blind fire (as hinted from the loading screen) by pressing Fire but don't expect to hit anything unless a terrorist is literally right next to where you are hiding. When using cover, ducking and leaning out will present a far smaller target than standing and leaning out. Therefore, you need to be dynamic and flexible in your action to remain in cover or simply positioned next to it. It should be noted that you cannot move away from cover while using it - if an enemy walks up to you and fires point blank, you cannot retreat until you release Cover and move away. While using cover, your point of view will shift from first to third person and your character will be locked on that cover's facing until you release your Cover key.Moving the Joystick while using cover will result in the character moving along the facing, or popping up (or to the side) to fire, as illustrated. Under more ideal infiltration circumstances, you will want to use the Cover key to "duck and cover" (just like American grade school children are taught to survive a communist nuclear attack in the 50s). Sometimes, you want to be simply ducking behind some cover (like a box or crate) and simply train your targeting reticle at the corner and hose down enemies as they round the corner. While you can play just like you did from previous Rainbow Six games, you'll be extremely exposed (no leaning unless you are under or behind cover) and vulnerable to "being brained". You could say that UbiSoft took a page from its latest Ghost Recon game and made some really keen improvements to have a smooth, near intuitive cover and fire system for Vegas.
