Petition To remove Killcams Completely.

Post » Wed Mar 03, 2010 2:48 pm

I wouldn't mind actually losing the Killcams completely because.

1. They are so buggy its not even clear what exactly happened except from knowing what guns they used and where they were when they killed you.

2. If i remember correctly I remember reading somewhere that Killcams sap up abit of the Hosts bandwidth, and removing Killcams would free up abit more and may help with hit detction and connection issues.


Sign here if you think killcams aren't worth the compromise.


UPDATE:

The two main reasons people watch killcams are.

1: What gun was used to kill them.

2. Where their killer was when they were killed.


You do not need a killcam to relay these two pieces of information to the player.

BFBC2's system of a third person camera on the killer and the weapon he used to kill you with being indicated has no effect on the Hosts bandwidth and is a worthy option.

Another possible option is Halos system, Where when you die your thrid person camera automatically "looks" at where your killer was when he killed you although if its bullet penetration kills or long range kills this may proove not so useful.

No kill cams need to stay to combat camping.

I never had an issue with campers when I played Counter-Strike exclusively... There were no kill cams then...

Petitions never go anywhere on forums. EVER. Killcams have always been this way in any game that has them, which is probably why Bungie never used them.

However, removing them would be benefitial as killcams do take up some amount of bandwidth and RAM as well.

Keep the final killcam, but otherwise just spectate the enemy that killed you for about 2 seconds.

This post hurts my brain. I have yet to see a single complaint in this thread.

I find it hilarious that for these petitions to take out something (i.e. Kill cams) Everything has a balance in the game. Everything. even if the kill cams aren't necessary. Everything has a balance. and plus dont ou wanna find out where the guy who killed from a distance is?

We're having a polite discussion about killcams and if they are worth the compromise of connection power in their buggy state.

You on the other hand added nothing to the conversation , went completely off-topic and started insulting us on no solid grounds.

You are the one wasting our time.

How about making a useful petition... You know one that would actually effect gameplay.

Or even better, stop getting killed and you wouldn't have to look at these kill cams.

In a game like Crysis with all the Nano Suit variants and variables I think the killcam is needed. Otherwise you just end up with too many wtf moments.

The trouble with doing this is that the killcam is the only thing that can help against campers but it barely does do that because half the time you cant see where they are. I would be happy removing kill cams if they removed the dog tag retriever also because that would force people to actually come out of hiding at least for a little while in order to pick up their tags.
