Remove the killcam or make it optionable for players

The thing is… this feature makes sense.

Your squad bots, are supposed to emulate soldiers with awareness. In real life, if a teammate gets shot, you can bet ALL the remaining standing guys will all face the general direction of the shooter, even if they cannot pinpoint it perfectly, while running for cover.

This very small killcam (lasts what, one second?) Helps to emulate that.

Sorry but it’s realistic. You can’t expect to decimate an entire squad while remaining hidden without them having any reactions.

“Stop sniping”

Yeah now guess two times why snipers are complete garbage in this game.

Well it´s a casual game. You want to squint at the screen hunting for the pixel that will kill you go play Hell Let Loose or something, people already suck with that advantage so just quickly run somewhere else when fighting someone who´s actually mentally present and you´re good to go.

You could do fancy stuff like running in a certain direction knowing the enemy will see that and quickly run somewhere else.

“Well it´s a casual game.”

Well getting a free wallhack for every time you get killed is basically the definition of “casual”.

Giving the player a 2 second wallhack can’t be the solution to AI getting wiped too easily.

Snipers are fantastic. Even with this minimal killcam. Keep moving.

“Shoot then move 10 meters before popping up again”

If you remain in the same spot all day long… expect heat. Just consider your enemy as sentient. Nobody would ignore a hidden sniper, especially since it’s not a silenced one…

所以影响你打狙了是吧

Like moving 10 meters is gonna make me forget where i got killed from.

Also please, if you move 10 meters every time you kill a single target you will end up losing the match.

Wow good work responding only to my first sentence made up of a couple words. Though thanks for agreeing with me atleast. Now go play something else if you don´t enjoy this casual game.

What I mean is don’t pop out of the same window all the time, I merely cited a quote from all quiet on the western front.

If the guy who sniped not able to whistand the enemy squad’s answer… Then he just needs practice, wasn’t behind proper cover, wasn’t far enough, quick enough, accurate enough for follow-up shots… etc.

Kill cam is just an excuse for bad snipers. Good ones, are not hampered by it.

When I use my scoped Enfield, it doesn’t matter if the enemy found my location. I’ll pick them out all in quick succession, simply because by now I know how to recognize which character is the one controlled by human, and which are bots.

Cant cope with being not welcome huh?
I get that you are an uneducated commie, I really dont expect much from the likes of you. And Im aware that you may have a food problem but please nourish yourself with some meds at least to quench your schizophrenic tendencies.

there are no good snipers in this game, because the class is worthless - with the exception of using sniper squads as assaulters.

Or countering rat snipers.

Speak for yourself. I use bolties since forever, and having a scope slapped on mine, just makes it even more lethal. My single marksman can easily:

  • deny reinforcements flow (I flank)
  • take out lmgs emplacements.
  • take out any lmg/hmg using guy, as well as AT ones.
  • take out silly tank commanders popping out
  • force the enemy to stay behind cover, allowing my team to move.

Hardly worthless… But then again You might struggle with them… doesn’t mean everyone else does.

Killcam is such an immersive way of showing that when a guy gets hit in the head, the rest of the squad knows where the shot came from.
They should be shouting “SNAIPER” and sticking to covers like in Saving Private Ryan.

Exactly, without joking.

You can control only 1 soldier, out of 9 in your squad. But if you COULD control all 9 simultaneously, the killcam would be unnecessary, because your other 8 controlled men, would know the general direction the shot fired came from.

That 1-2 seconds killcam emulate that, makes bot less… well bots, and appear more sentient, reactive.

Like @105865166 said, the function is not present NOR necessary in lone fighter mode… because you don’t control a squad. All other teammates are human… And THEY DO react when a teammate gets taken out by seeking cover from the general direction the shot came from.

I like it, but kill cam shouldn’t be removed, it should show the approx. area instead of exact location

NO
And I ussually put AP mines behind me if you would like to sneaky kill me with melee from behind
Its fun :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Hard talk to someone that melted like ice when proved wrong.

Hey dude, at least come with your main profile, creating a alt just to bait people is kinda of a coward move, don’t worry, the snowflakes that flag everything they don’t like are the wehraboos that live 24/7 on this forum.

Noobs really love to camp when they get this mad over a basic mechanic that helps the health of the game by discouraging camping the entire match on the same place.

People complaining about this are the same that complain about paras capping objectives when they never bother to step on the point to defend it.

Never did like kill cams. Would be happy to see them go

Also snipers are devastating when positioned properly. Positioned to cut off reinforcements to objective. Same with mgs.

But most dont do that, so they get a bad wrap, and rightly so.

Svt-40 sniper is stupid powerful…can hold back the reinforcements solo.
