What happen to kill cams?

I was watching YouTube a while ago and I noticed (Even during the beta) in these videos they had kill cams. Now keeping call of duty out of the topic, what happen to them? and why did 343 remove them? From what I seen in videos, kill cams seem to have worked pretty well, all they needed was to be fixed (Obvs. because it was beta).

I liked kill cams

Definitely a useful learning tool but a lot of people didn’t like them

it would be a nice addition

Nah, I prefer the game without killcams, just feels like a halo thing.

Halo has never had kill cams traditionally, they’re not needed mainly because combat typically is pretty open so you know what happened, there’s not much camping and hiding apart from the occasional noon with a shotty

Killcams are awful and don’t belong in Halo.

THEY DECIDED THIS GAME IS CALLED HALO

NOT cod

Lol I could see this typical answer a mile away

But WHY are they awful?

You need to figure out where the killshots came from. If someone kills you its your responsibility to figure out how and prevent it from happening again, its not up to the game to spell it out for you.

Yes, they give away position. You should not be rewarded for dying.

Exactly, the person who killed you earned it, their spot shouldn’t be spoiled because of your lack of awareness.

You do realize the camera points at your killer as soon as you die right?..

Snipers also have glowing balls of light revealing their position that’s not a good excuse

Obviously they could put an option for them to be removed, just like Stabilizer :slight_smile:

Its a waste of coding. They implemented them in Halo 4 and realized they were a bad idea.

This is my main reason that I think they are not needed. Plus, people will just move out of the way. That said, it’s not something I’d mind, unlike some other elitists in here…

Because Halo’s maps don’t need them. In CoD, someone can snipe me from across the map, I look at the killcam and I’m like what the hell, I don’t even know where this guy is at because he is in a bush. Then I get killed by a camper, watch the killcam, and find him for revenge.
Besides, it’s only useful if the person who killed you wasn’t smart enough to kill you and then move to a new area.
It annoys me, so I usually just skip it. Glad it isn’t a Halo thing.

The weapon indicators are more than enough, I agree that is enough.

Halo has a death screen where when played properly you can rotate to see enemies in your area and witch to your teammates to help with call outs.

The killcam mechanism is a cheap way to give more information to someone who died, this isn’t needed in halo and hasn’t been in any of the good halomgames 123 5.

343 are pushing back in the right direction with competitive halo and logically killcams wouldnt be in it.
