Halo 4 in my opinion will be a spectacular attachment towards the Halo Saga, but honestly? In my opinion, I believe the new added “Kill Cam” is a bad idea. Now, I’m not trying to start a misleading conversation, but who else, in their honest opinion, thinks the “kill cam” is a unique and or failure attachment to halo?
In my opinion, I’m not so fund of it. And the Halo snipers might agree.
I agree, I am not a big fan of the kill cam.
I think it gives people more of a means to learn from their mistakes and understand how they died. With that knowledge they learn how to play better and understand their capabilities.
It’ll also lead to less broken controllers and death threats from people who didn’t quite understand how they died and have anger issues.
Keep in mind, that it is only in certain playlist. Besides, if I get killed by a jerk sitting in the corner with a shotty, I’ll see that corner and know better next time. Kill cams aren’t a game breaker and shouldn’t be condemned as such.
You know, the “kill cams” don’t seem to hinder Snipers in Call of Duty much, or at all. In fact, most players in those games tend to SKIP the killcam so they can get right back into the action as quickly as possible.
I wouldn’t say a “killcam” is a bad feature, but I do like the addition of it. Now I will know just what I died by and HOW when someone kills me. I’ll know where they were shooting me from and with what. If they were hiding behind a corner when I walked around it, I’ll know that too. If they were somehow up on the ceiling and dropped onto me, I’ll know that as well.
Basically, it makes sure that the “campers” aren’t going to be as effective anymore.
If you are a GOOD SNIPER, you move after you take a few shots anyway. Staying in one place too long is already asking to get murdered. Sitting in obvious sniping perches is a good way to get killed fairly easily as a sniper.
A good sniper in Halo 4 won’t be hindered by the existance of the “kill cam”. And a good team in Halo 4 will be able to PROTECT their sniper in open maps like they are supposed to.

As an efficient and effective sniper, I hate the kill cam. I think it’s the developers way of “closing the skill gap”. And I also think they’re trying to pull in the CoD crowd by making it more marketable with things that will make it look appetizing to those players’ “look we have kill cam” and “customizable loadouts” while still keeping the base Halo players, that are gonna buy the game regardless because of the legacy that Halo is. I think it is a cheap ploy to meet some sort of “sales goal”. I think 343i takes the real Halo fans for granted.
It’s like were all addicted to coke(halo) and our old dealer that always hooked us up(Bungie) moved out of town, replaced by 343i who thinks stepping on a product that they know were gonna buy anyway is ok.
and to that I say GO F YOURSELVES 343
and then they’ll come back with some reply like “oh, we wanted to make it dynamic and feel like a natural evolution and make it feel like Halo” CUT THE -Yoink!-!!!

I like the idea of a kill cam.
As it is now, your camera swivels towards the person who killed you anyway, more often than not letting you see where they are in the distance.
I also love the idea of pulling off an insane no scope or something and knowing that the victim will be watching it back.
Don’t forget that it is completely skip-able, so if you don’t like it you don’t have to watch it. I personally will watch most of them to see how I was killed, unless I get rushed by a sword wielding noob of course.
Just another crutch.
I like the addition too. There have been several times where I wanted to see how a person killed me and I would always have to go to theatre mode to check. I guess we will all see in almost one week!
I honestly don’t see the problem with kill cams. The main arguement I read a lot on the forums sounds like this:
“Before I start I’m going to -Yoink!- -Yoink- and state what an awesome sniper I’am, like better than you. Kill cams are made to ruin sniping as when i kill someone it gives away my position to everyone else. We never had something like that in a Halo game, and thats why we shouldn’t start now!! It will unbalance the game!!”
Yes kill cams will give away sniping positions, we currently don’t have anything like that such as a thick, white trail of smoke that leads directly to the source of the shot fired. Campers don’t need a kill cam to get them killed, they are perfectly able to do that on their own considering they will stay in ONE spot, stay still and don’t even think about moving from their spot. You could even run into those ‘special cases’ where they would go back to the same spot after you killed them, and would go back several times before it clicks in their small brains ‘the same guy killed me in my spot 8 times in a row already. he must be waiting for me!’
So many anti-camper elements in this game… I LOVE IT!
OP, it’s only in a few playlists. Besides, if you’re a skilled camper or sniper, not just some noob racking up kills with a power weapon in one spot, you will move from place to place and EARN your kills. Camping in Reach and Halo 3 is unbearable and I’m very glad Halo 4 is providing more ways to counter it.
Kill cams always annoyed me. Who wants to see how they died? Its just frustrating
I don’t like it, but I can counter it. I just have to stay zoomed in for a while before I snipe someone.
> Kill cams always annoyed me. Who wants to see how they died? Its just frustrating
I want to see how I died so I can hunt the person down…
> Kill cams always annoyed me. Who wants to see how they died? Its just frustrating
You can skip it. It is a matter of choice. And to respond to your question, a lot of people want to know how they died sometimes, myself included.
Killcams are just for players too dumb/ new to understand the sandbox of certain maps. There’s no skill in knowing where your killer is in the first place, it’s just a matter of turning the damn camera in the older (Better) Halo games. If players can’t figure that out, then it’s pretty apparent they don’t care enough and will be leaving after Blops 2 comes out anyway.
343i what are you doing?
