Are you saying the player that got the kill is at a disadvantage now?Well..if it was me, i would be switching locations or probably get killed by a reaver/scythe. I won't stay in one location, unless I'm a sniper, but even then i would do some moving around. Too much chaos going around.

Really? We got what we wanted with the killcam and people are still bitching about it?

Who said we were bitching, I just said I wanted to be able to customize it to look like PS1. That's all. Not my fault people misinterpreted it.

Many times you think you are fighting some guy one-on-one, but you don't realize there's also another enemy on top of a wall shooting at you, and the tank shelling you from behind. It lets you know the odds weren't as even as you might have thought.

This is an excellent point. Knowing who damaged you and how informs you what your up against and how best to counter it.

Also, it's important to note that people complained about being able to see where you were killed from. In a smaller game like CoD, that mechanic prevents camping, so it's a good thing. In a game like PS2, a killcam that reveals the killer's position really only serves to punish the killer and hurts him tactically. The difference is scale.

Nah you're being totally reasonable.

Is your issue that you think we receive too much information, and want a more streamlined approach?

I'm tempted to say "just click 'OK' and don't read the kill info," but I'm pretty positive that that doesn't really address your concerns haha.

Bless your hearts! You can have all the info you want and make great use of it, that's awesome. But I (I can't stress it enough) don't want it and would like to disable it. I have no need for that info as I don't really care how i died. I would rather not see that screen pop up every time I took a bullet in the head. Just a nice simple score board like PS1. For those that misunderstood me, I'm sorry.

You don't NEED to look at the stats if you don't want to...
In the top right there's a list of "X killed Y with __" if you want that style.

Thank you for answering my question. So there is an option to turn it off. Much appreciated kind sir.
