Remove the killcam or make it optionable for players

“How the piglets will squeal when they hear how the old boar suffered.”
I am tired of this mechanic where people use their squad NPCs as quick reincarnation avatars to get a fast revenge on someone who have killed him from a well hidden spot.
You have killed a player? Good! Now he gets a few secs of wallhack to so that he could know where you are and another few lives to choose from to track you down. Where is the realism in all of this? The queen bee dies and the others can know of its death by the smell of pheromones?
I do not need to know from where someone have killed me, and so do I dont want people to know the same.
Alternatively it could be made differently so that the map could perhaps show the exact location of latest death and approximate location of the killer - not the ww2 nazi 5G echo location red outline horde alerting technology straight from history channels at night.

Thanks

Indeed a good advice, I have removed the sniper squads from all campaigns, hated being the top score all the time too.

Thank you for your wisdom wise traveler

Learn to anticipate

If you got killed because you didn’t relocate, then that’s on you

Also, this ain’t the prime game for Realism, go play HLL

A good sniper changes the sniping point every time he shoots… I read a book written by a man who was the first Japanese to join the Green Berets.
Well, I later found out that the guy’s enlistment in the Green Berets was a hoax…, but it’s good advice if you’re going to try it in an FPS game.
I do this.

Bruh why do you think that I do not know of this Mr Bateman
Sometimes its just impossible to relocate without getting killed in a crossfire, like by being in a ditch hole in a middle of a battle ground but whatever.
Its not like I dont know how to avoid the problems caused by it. More like I just dont want to adapt my true playstyle to a mechanic I dont even need and I would like to see some alternative solutions made to it.

TBH its not about sniping, I was just playing around with that fanboy. I just dislike the mechanic which do apply to all kinds of weapons

Hardcore lone fighter mode doesn’t have that, squad mode is for arcade players, want something more real look for the lone fighter that was removed from the alternative game mode (now only in custom battles not being able to complete event mission)

I think the best solution is to only point in the general direction of the person that killed you, not directly at them and highlighted.

That said, it has also helped to identify cheaters for us in the past. Like when there was a guy sitting BEHIND A HILL in their greyzone and somehow getting a mass of kills with a MG.

Its kind of a double edged sword.

It’s weird that Killcam doesn’t focus on the barbed wire that killed me.

That is what I am thinking about, I didnt thought of sniping or camping like some people might assume, you can be punished by this mechanic on the run

No fucking way… Riograndense Republic, recommending lone fighter as it is superior to squads…

You aren’t the bolt action guy that equips even assaulters with them and tried to bolst your skills on the discord but ragequit when one of us outplayed you 3 times in a roll during a lone fighter discord event ain’t you?

“Camping” is very subjective. Holding the capture point as a defender is not camping, its defending.

That said, one thing that really frustrates me with it is when I set up a barricaded MG nest and use short accurate bursts. If they locate me from the tracers, I’m fine with that. However, it never fails that if I kill the main player, they instantly snap to my position with their next guy. Even if I’m not firing. They could have been completely oblivious to my position before, but now they know EXACTLY where I am.

I took his recommendation into consideration. Not sure what made you think that its a good place to chase after someone like this just to speak of personal problems in such of a vengeful manner dude.

Hey you from nowhere, I’ve never participated in any event, it must be confusing but if you recognize my nickname and it comes to your memory, I’m happy to know that I have a new fan
