I wouldn't take his bait KR4KKEN - skyfire420 has also said that this game has the best AI he has seen in a game.....
I read this in the PS3 forums as to their killcams, 2 friends were playing on the same connection on 2 Playstations on opposite teams. One friend starts complaining that he shouldn't have died because the killcam only showed his friend shooting 2 bullets, while his friend complained back that he shot an entire clip into him just to kill him.
I think that may be an underlying problem in the Killcam system, that it doesn't portray the full amount of shots taken to kill someone, just the final 2 bullets that actually get the kill. not the full clip of spray that proceded it.
You would be entirely correct. The killcam system is more flash then fact. I looks cool but does NOT give an accurate representation of a situation.
I've been accused of having a tweaked controller by a real life friend of mine because, to him, I was firing at lightspeed in killcams.
Sure, I was firing quite frantically, but no faster then the norm. There was also multiple scenario were I would seem to be one shot kills by his Jackal, but he was actually burning through his ammo at me.
The killcam system is absolutely terrible.
Although BLOPS has a lot wrong with it, the system on there to review the whole match certainly shows up where inconsistencies are and if someone is glitching, pity Crytek / EA did not implement the same.
Honestly, I would permanently trade Killcames for full match replays ANY day. The ability to go in and anolyze and compare multiple games were you either use a new strategy or make a key mistake you want to iron out is an ability totally lost to FPS gamers.
A player in Starcraft2 can rewatch a game they lost, tell you why and when they actually lost and then tell you exactly how they need to fix their idea to best avoid a weakness in that spot again.
The best a player in an FPS tends to do is watch a killcam about halfway and say "BOLLOCKS I put like a MILLION bullets in his FACE!!"
It is a sad truth.
