What? You've played games with cover systems that aren't in third person or don't switch you to third person when you go into cover? The horror, the horror! Why would anyone do that?
When the player is behind cover and fires out:
Presenting 4 pixels: bad, but I don't think I've ever seen a game that did that except Gears of War, when you blind-fired, and you can't hit anything if blind firing anyways
Presenting your head: realistic and you can still get shot in the head
Presenting half your body: What is this I don't even
No cover system: I'll just stand completely behind cover and poke my gun just far enough out past this wall that my shots don't hit the wall, having the same effect as the 4 pixels solution. Good luck hitting me.
