IMO KillCam killing the Game

Sure they will. Probably even score a few kills too, before being seen and taken out/driven off.

In almost all of them he was either seen very shortly after shooting and fire was returned. In most of the ones where he wasn't seen, its because there was a bunch of other things right near him(i.e. in the gaggle/on top of the base defending/etc). The ones where it was just him and another person.. the target saw.

And even if you are seen fire may not be returned. I rarely certed sniper rifles. If I got sniped, I stayed in cover. I knew where it was coming from, I just lacked the tools or the will to take care of it, because snipers were not a very big concern. Its an anti infantry unit in an area where vehicles largely dominate infantry anyway.

Most do pay attention. Finding an annoying sniper was never an issue. Snipers are just not the biggest threat, and don't rate dropping everything to go take care of. If they are by themselves, they will be taken care of shortly.

I don't care one way or the other about kill cams, I can take em or leave em. I would love to see them do an experiment in beta. 1 day, kill cams on. Next day, kill cams off. I'm very curious what the difference in K/D ratios would be. My surmise is not very different.
