Too much of my time was spent tinkering with animations and controls to try to get things just right. I've looked at some pre-built assets before but none quite hit the mark.
Ultimate FPS (UFPS) have added a third person view and are now adding multi-player. Both those features are exactly what I have been waiting for. They have teamed up with Photon Unity Networking (PUN) which is my multi-player platform of choice so I am already familiar with that.

It's a closed Beta at the moment but this looks to be exactly what I need to speed up my development:

1000's of hours have gone in to UFPS which I would never have time to replicate and so I am very hopeful that all I need to do is add in my gamepad support and some AI and the rest will be level design and assets to complete the game. Sounds easy but I know there is still a lot of work left to do.
Coming up to the Christmas break I might even have some time to work on it.
Fingers crossed that they let me in on the Beta.
