I simply don't want kill cams in the game because it gives my outfit mates another avenue to rage with .


But I think the general consensus of the pole it pretty clear. The majority of the community is against. I know that Higby and the other devs occasionally lurk these forums. We can only hope that they take in the information they're given and please the community of diehard fans that have been with this game since the start and not try to appease the CoD Kiddies who will download the game and drop it in a heartbeat when Cowaadooty 14 comes out.

Die hard fans don't pay the bills.

Die hard fans are responsible for plenty of ruined games.

Also, love the homosexual slur there. Keepin it classy. Keepin it mature. You're clearly the type of person that game studios should cater to.

Killcams really really hose Snipers.

Hate killcams.

Only if they're glued to one spot the whole time.

I vaguely remember a bit about an implant that blocks killcams. I can't recall where or if it was official at all. Perhaps someone else can confirm it.

Sensor jammer implant with that effect or something for the stealthy types.

You are confusing sniper and camper here.

Do I need to copy/paste my post from the ideas forum?

I wouldn't say it *kills* the game but it does ruin tactics, counterstrike is hugely popular and a great game that has a kill cam.. of sorts.. but in any serious match ups it was the first thing to be turned off.

I do agree with OP, I'd rather go hunting for that guy rather than have a unfair mechanic leading me directly to him.

If it works in that when you die your view goes to the GENERAL direction the bullet came from, then fair does (i.e north/east/south/west of your position)

we'll just have to wait and see though unfortunately

That has to be one of the dumbest things I think I have ever heard. I'm not even sure how to respond to this.

Players are going to do whatever they want to do and its not gonna be because they are afraid. Give the players who do not want their position compromised or do not want other players seeing their tactics/ how they play a way to opt out of the killcam. I don't care if its a option in the menu or a implant.

It's frustrating and annoying, yeah so I don't want them to implement killcam, but to call it 'game-breaking' is obviously an exaggeration, in my viewpoint.

[Marth Koopa]

As a rambo MAX guy, Kill Cams don't affect me because I'm always on the move.

But kill cams would certainly take away from the guys that love to snuggle up into a nice sport with their sniper rifle and plink off dudes from a distance with little to no moving around

[texico]

Can't seriously have this in a game of PlanetSide's scale. And I don't see the "annoyance" argument either.

-Claim to want to combat annoyance by adding in killcam
-Add in one-shot kill headshots


It just wouldn't swing. If they're in the game, it'll surely be to please the BF/COD crowd. It'll be a massive detriment to the stealthier classes, unless they're somehow immune.

No Go I'm afraid.

Hate to break it to you, but in the realm of FPSs, PS shares much more in common with BF/COD than other games. It uses the same general mix of arcadey and real. The people that will want to play all three games are the exact same crowd. I know you like to feel superior because you play[ed] PS, but you're not.

Yes please. Then I'll have a nice advantage over people who mistakenly think it matters somehow.
