After looking at the IGN.com write up and video I notice that kill-cams will make their way into Halo (note: they say only in SOME gametypes). I say “About damn time”. I love the idea of being able to see how I got beat in combat or make some other kid realize how sick my last second no-scope was. A game like Halo screams for kill-cams b.c. of all of the ways you can die/kill. That sick triple kill you just got… yeah now the third person can see how sick that double sweep snipe was before you sniped them in the face.
I honestly can’t think of a downside to having kill-cams besides you can’t look around your dead body to see people’s movements and now dead people can’t see you tbag them. These aren’t that big of a deal b.c. with insta-spawns most people wouldn’t spend the time to watch their body getting tbag’d. I can see some people complaining b.c., like I said, you can’t look around the environment while you’re dead (you could always wait instead of insta-spawning to get that small advantage). All in all, I don’t see how a person wouldn’t want kill-cams except for the “NO MORE COD IN MY HALO” freaks. If this wasn’t a feature in CoD I feel like 99.9% (there’s always ‘THAT’ guy) of Halo players would love to see kill-cams.
