I've seen this debated time and time again, and have yet to make up my mind. Should they be removed? Why? Reasons for and against?

*Note this is separate to the game winning killcam

They should stay.

Why should they. It solves the question of how did he kill me? Plus its already skip able.

I like kill cams.

I think is some game types they should, but not in others.

Positives
- Allows you to spot a hacker (more relevant on pc)
- Gives players a quick break before they respawn
- Allows newer players to view more experienced players and their play-styles

Negatives
- Allows enemy players to see the location of players on your team, and the general direction players are heading
- Allows enemy players to see what your team's care packages hold
- Allows enemy players to view where they were killed from (arguably also a positive)

I think there should be a perk that disables enemies viewing your killcam, as killcam whores really get on my nerves (i do not excessively camp)

I'm sure many people don't remember, but killcams are unique from the first CoD and was revolutionary.

I just wouldn't be CoD without it! Plus, it helps people identify glitchers and exploiters (wall mapping, elevator jumping etc..)

It's good and bad as that guy earlier stated the positives and negatives, but i like it so I can spot campers

Why would you ever want to remove killcams? Prevents camping & shows easily when people are hacking.

Hmmm... Pro: It's a way to find campers who otherwise are completely hidden because of coldblooded and silencers. Con: It's harder to camp. Pro: It's easier to find campers, making the game more balanced. Con: It's soooooo hard to press the one button it takes to skip. Pro: It's fucking easy to press the button it takes to skip.

Conclusion: Taking this off would be stupid.

Killcams should stay.

I do like the idea of a killcam disabling perk though. It could be a great "pro" perk for a stealth class, but then again, it would probably be abused greatly by campers and hackers.

i dont tend to mind kill cam on free for all as i am always running and gunning. On HCTDM i enjoy playing without it, being more stealthy/strategic and getting to a good spot to pick people off.

SWWAcoma · 02-21-2010, 03:13 PM

Mixed feelings really. As stated above it was great for figuring out who the glitchers were in the game. I also learned of a few nifty sniper hang outs that way (places I didn't know you could get, but then was able to find ways to jump or w.e to these new spots). Also good for figuring out where the one camper thats pissing you off is.

On the down side though, being that I snipe alot I hate having to change positions every few kills, knowing that someone I just canoed is going to watch it and come seek revenge, sucks. Also, its a bit redundant sometimes, if I get stabbed in the back I probably realized I was just stabbed in the back. Sure you can skip it, but if you don't let a few seconds lapse the game tends to spawn you in less than optimal places. I guess thats what I get for allowing myself to get knifed in the back though...

Pugnator · 02-21-2010, 03:25 PM

if you're wondering how it woud be without killcams try hardcore TDM, it's a camp fest, the streets are deserted, no exciting battles anywhere and you get sniped from time to time, and unless you're a veteran at finding campers, you'll never know where they are.

just use a silencer with cold blooded and ninja and hide in a bush. there are no killcams so you're invisible and you're free to play god if any fool tries to go out in the streets.

so killcams are basically one of the only things which difficult camping, and i think that's their main advantage.

Even if you play HCTDM you can spot a camper. Just watch closely when you die. Your view will turn and look directly at your killer for about a half second before you go into the spawn timer.
