All: Cooler Killcams - Modern Warfare 2 Forum: Free Call of Duty MW2 Community

I don't know if this is easy to do, but I was just thinking that wouldn't killcams be a bit cooler if they showed the final explosion or bullet? What i mean is like if a sniper shot somebody, the final kill would show the bullet going from the rifle to the enemy. Or, with an AR, it would show the final bullet that got the kill. Same goes for killstreaks, showing the round from a harrier, or the actual rocket from the Pred rather than the computer screen, the 105mm from the AC130 rather than the computer screen, etc. Just a thought.

Kind of like the claymore, grenade, etc.? Like be the bullet or seeing it from a distance? I'm assuming you mean distance which for AC-130, Predator missle would be sweet.

Yeah like have the bullet be kind of like the noobtube, following like right behind it.

It would be cool, but *completely serious hardware brain* it would look utterly s*** because...

The lag (by "lag" I am refering to the latency between host and player. When it goes all juttery and jittery that is a "lag spike" either caused by slow hardware or an incosistant net connection) in MW2 is so great that when you watch the kill from the host' point of view in terms of the connection speed & player locations (i.e. just like killcam) it is very rare that any of the rendered bullets/tracers actually hit the character model. You would effectively get an even worse version of the game winning killcam - you know, the thing where a bullet impacts a few feet off the ground 2 feet to the left of the character and blood splats out of mid air whilst the character simultaniously falls to the ground holding their neck?

If it could be implemented well, which it never can be with the current "one player is a host" concept, it would look cool. Infact it'd look just as cool as the sort of animations you get in the zero-latency single player campaign.

Thank you for destroying our hopes and dreams, lol. J/K

Very true. *sigh* I wish all these things could be fixed. I'll just keep dreaming.

Also note that the "bullets" in the game are hitscan, and aren't actual objects that fly out of the gun. AC130's gatling may be the exception, though.

But if it were possible, this would be pretty fucking cool. Watching a sniper shot fly from one side of Derail and hit a guy in the head as a game winner would be beyond awesome.

And then you have the rest of the kill cams where someone gets startled, sprays with his akimbo weapons and one pellet/bullet grazes someones buttcheek for the winning kill cam.

Well you could keep all the in game killcams the same and just do this for the game winner.....

Then Ill curve a bullet at you, ya know since what your describing is a lot like Wanted. Which was badass btw and made me want to play some COD lol.

I was actually disapointed to see that the killcam wasnt like that. I thought it should have been.

Killcams need more Angelina Jolie?

/agree.

smithm · 03-02-2010, 08:35 AM

lulz, but @ OP maybe only for Game Winning kills rather than all killcams.

BTW I like seeing killcams the way they are, seeing whether who killed you was noob, lucky or good by following their aim

BradTonks · 03-02-2010, 12:59 PM

I like the way a throwing knife gets followed.

That sounds good.

Thanks abc for pissing on our fireworks but I do agree. If it could be properly implemented I'd say great, but I: doubt it will happen.

I think watching the ac130, predator missel from a third person view would be sweet. I find that I sometimes start watching the pretty fireworks and then bam I'm dead.

justinLOG · 03-02-2010, 01:11 PM

maybe the solution to please everyone is to let the game winner have the option of quickly selecting the camera angle they want for everyone to see their game winning kill
