I assume most of us agree that kill cams are pretty dumb. But I was wondering if itd be cool to have a kill cam of the final kill? Anyone else agree?
sure but i dont understand whats wrong with kill cams in general besides the typical argument: its just like cod
This thread has already been made and discussed, and the consensus was basically, not gonna happen.
Yeah OP, that’s not a true statement that we can all agree on. I know lots of people who love killcams.
Regarding killcams, I don’t think you should be able to see where the guy is or how he faked you out if he managed to trick you. If you get sniped for example, then you can know EXACTLY where the sniper is if he doesn’t move after he kills you.
Regarding FINAL killcam, yeah, I think that would be awesome. If anything, it would be easy to take out the enemy team in a 49-49 match if they’re all rushing like crazy to get the final kill.

i guess it would ruin the location of a sniper however in reach it usually angles the camera to the direction of the shot and plus you can see the air trail so you pretty much have a good idea where that sniper is
I know COD haters will freak out about it, but I would welcome it.
Honestly though I would rather have a mini-montage during the post game carnage report playing behind the score board. It could highlight all the best multi-kills, sniper shots, close calls, killing sprees (as a spliced .5 sec-per-kill mini-montage), and all the other various metals & commendations.
Like a minute long highlight reel.
Final kill cam, NO, that’s what Theater mode is for.

Killcams promote terrible awareness.

in previous halo games when you die the camera would angle it in the direction of where you were killed so you were still aware of where it came from
I don’t understand why people are so against kill cams. I mean, just the fact that they are featured in Call of Duty but that is such a stupid reason. I actually find kill cams really informative actually.
In that split second, you can gather a lot of information just from looking at the enemies point of view.
Ex: You can see where they shot you from first and foremost, you can see what weapon they are using, you can see if they got lucky or if it required a lot skill to kill you, and lastly, you can see how much Shielding they have left so you can call it out to teammates.
I’d rather not have them. Theres just no need.
Im not saying for each and every kill. Just for one final kill. How would that change gameplay?
I don’t see the need for it. So no thanks.

I think for a game like COD they are critical because the lines of sight for many kills are extremely tight and kill times are very short. Kill cams actually help with the awareness learning curve, and undercuts the whole “hidden knowledge” that 343i wants to eliminate. They also help to thwart a camping style of game play, which ultimately helps to bolster some action.
For Halo though… I could take em or leave em. The kill time is long enough usually where you can see what happened and why you died.

Which seeing as how I got 25 Kills sniping from the same spot in a game of BTB on Hemorrhage, can be useless to the foolhardy. Seriously, only two guys found me and it’s like they just magically forgot after I killed them. ONE WAS EVEN LOOKING AT ME WITH A SNIPER RIFLE!!!
Really, it’s not as useful to some people as you might think…

but it still is useful though at least to those who can use their brains
even a kill cam cant directly show where the person shot from
this happens a lot with snipers in call of duty, since the shooter is zoomed in when he shot you thats all you see

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support Killcams.
Just makin’ a point was all. And I do see your point.
> I’d rather not have them. Theres just no need.
I think a final killcam would be a great addition to the end game screen. It is just fun to see the final kill especially if something cool happened in it. It doesn’t matter if COD did it first, its a good idea. Why deprive fun additions to the game just so we can say it wasn’t similar to something else.
Yes! a Sniper Elite V2 style killcam.
