I never use it. I have no idea why other people do. It's just clumsy, all it does it make sure you can't move away when you want to.

Yep, something like this. I am using the cover system more and more rather than less and less. It is not meant to be a 'pop up and down repeatedly in the same spot' thing, since that will certainly get oneself killed. And this happens if one tries to lean around corners just the same. If someone acquired you and are aiming at where they anticipate you to appear, they will have a very easy one shot kill.Oh, and the cover system is great when you need to use smoke or grenades.
It's also good for quickly looking.... pop out, take a look around, let go of your key and drop back down in cover.... then blind fire or toss your grenade.... then duck back down.
Of course when I use the cover system, it's only for a few actions within a few seconds, then I relocate.... unless I know I'm in a safe area where most don't know I'm there. If I have bullets wizzing by, that's my que to gtfoutta there.
That's one of the few things I also do that - just peek around a corner but then come out of cover to actually shoot, because otherwise you're a huge target.I use the cover system often to look around corner. With lean you have to align yourself so you can see the spot you want, otherwise you over expose your self or fall short. Cover makes it quicker.
