Kill Cam

**DJ Ms. White** · 01-14-08, 05:11 PM

So what does everyone think?
I know I don't mind if I'm killed and think, "Wtf that was bull," but then see that yes it was legit. However, a good player will be able to determine where enemy fire is coming from due to sound and any visual signs of bullets flying. Kill cam often makes players lazy. Instead of thinking, "Now, where was I killed from," they know without effort that he is at location (x,y,z). That being said a defender who never changes position is asking for death possibly by being shot through a wall.

It might be a good topic to bring back up since that one has since long been forgotten. It should be brought back up considering HC is on again. I like Kill cam lets me learn from mistakes, Makes catching cheaters and aim bots easier and keeps those snipers from being in god spots sniping everyone out the entire game. Considering they are impossible to see in this game it makes the class less of a dominate species in this game we call war. I know in real war your not discovered on the first kill but you are discovered eventually but without UAV or radar some snipers could go a good ten fifteen kill streak in a matter of minutes and still get fifteen more kills before they go down. They're just impossible to see or make out only thing to give them away is muzzle flash and good ones will make sure your not even looking :P. Just my thoughts if you can correct me go ahead we need to settle kill cam once and for all so people will stop complaining about it :P.

Kill Cam may need to be rethought after some time with Hardcore on, but for now its stays if for nothing else than a tool to find cheaters.

Yeah, it was useful yesterday when there was a guy with an aim bot.

I didn't want to resurrect the other post.

In my experience, the killcam is only useful for finding snipers or other people who killed you from long range/somewhere you couldnt see. As far as 'seeing how they killed me' ... it is so often the same thing that I have stopped watching it - It shows me with my back/side to the enemy, and them spraying me down.

The only way it affects gameplay is through what is essentially auto-ghosting.

I wouldn't love anything more then if it were turned off. It just gives away positions. I don't want to hear that's why you move around bullshit either. It might as well be ghosting and that's against the rules.

If the kill cam gets turned off then I think we need to shorten the respawn time...You can watch the entire strip of the killcam and stll have 3-4 seconds til respawn....something to think about.
