This is not a game about getting individual revenge on someone who sniped you. It's a TEAM based tactical shooter. Put the data about who killed who with what in the API for killboards and such, but don't have it in game, it encourages lone-wolfism which this game is not about. You wanna be a lone-wolf? GBTCoD ;D

If you know where you were when you died, and have a decent idea where you were shot from, you can pass on the details of that to someone else on your team who's near the area - give them warning of a good sniper or let them know there's a weakened enemy SMG guy in the area.

We already have that though. Does the person who killed you not get marked on your hud? Just hold off on hitting the respawn button (an alien concept to many CoD players who want to get back in the action asap. I know, I've done it myself) and communicate their location (if it's in your field of view) to your team-mates.

That being said I very rarely hear anyone on comms actually saying anything useful, same with CoD and BF3. In these beta battles it doesn't really matter that much but it will when the fate of an alliance hangs on whether you win or lose.

I think it would be cool if it could display: - who killed you - there rank or whatever - their current load out that they killed you with - what you lost by dieting The last one is just like that last kick in the balls when you remembered you were using that really cool item or expensive gear. If the overlay can't show each item in your load out it would be cool if it said "This clone costed you X isk." I think that would be cool. No fittings of the person who killed you. Period. Knowing what kind of gun or weapon I used is one thing, but my fitting are my own and you should not be rewarded with it because you died. Rewards are for winners, not the people who die. You want to know my fitting, kill me or ask, just as I will kill or ask you. As for what you lose by dieting, that is usually weight. I don't need Dust to tell me I weigh less. As for showing what you lost when you die, this does happen with CCP in Eve, and I suspect it will happen here once the Kill Reports are available.

I can't see who killed me. When I look at the kill feed I'm either too fast or too slow and I miss who shot me. It would be cool if it was easier to see. **** no! You want that go back to COD.

jenza aranda BetaMax. 1005	Posted - 2012.07.27 07:18:00 - [36] - Quote im also signing no for kill cam, i always hated in shooters that killing someone basically shows where they are hiding.

I don't get my killer marked on my HUD unless I can already see them, or they walk into line of sight after I went down. And without the kill feed, all I can give is "there's someone at X" or sometimes no more than "I died at X" - having a reliable kill feed (I still think the current one fades too fast) would mean I can consistently pass on "I died at X to someone with Y" and warn my team about HOW I died so a properly-equipped teammate can move in to avenge me.

Deskalkulos Ildigan CrimeWave Syndicate 115	Posted - 2012.07.27 15:03:00 - [46] - Quote If you lie on the ground bleeding to death, you shouldn't be able to tell anyone that theres someone behind you. If he managed to kill you without being seen by you, he deserves going undetected (as in not marked on radar/minimap) for another kill. Obviously a no for kill cam.
