Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

Even with the kill cam I'm pretty good at camping. If you use claymores at all the entrances to the building you're in then its gona take a while for people to get to you. Its awesome when some guy you just killed comes running up the stairs behind you and gets blown up by your claymore. It's also not a bad idea to leave whichever window/door you are shooting out of and wait out in one of the other rooms in your building if you know they are coming for you. In the long run you're way better off being careful and trying to stay alive in this game. The key to getting high kill totals and doing a lot of damage is to sit back and pick people off until you get air strikes and choppers.

Exactly. It makes much more sense and is far more realistic for the kill cam to be on. In a "real war," a "camper" would be exposed immediately. We don't have those "realtime senses" in a videogame and a camper could go the whole game without being found.

Granted, you also can't come back to life if a "camper" shoots you in real life to go find the guy.

In the game the radar shows your position when you shoot AND if someone is looking in your direction when taking the shot they can see the flash not to mention you can hear the shot direction. THAT is realistic.
It is extremely LESS realistic to show a dead "soldier" where the shot came from. So yes you are right as you do get exposed in "real war" however the game also exposes you just like "in the real war" scenarios without having to use the kill cam.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

Yep. A kill cam actually makes it much more skill based. If you can tally a large amount of kills with the kill cam on, you have skill.

So based on that, in Madden it would be better if the player you are playing online was allowed to see what play you called. You have to use more skill to beat them. It just doesn't make any sense.

Eh, like I said, it doesn't bother me. Biggest thing it eliminates are the campers, and that I like. Too many people in shooters just sit in one spot shooting people, you can't in this game unless you're really good.

There's a difference is spawn campers and campers. I have no problem with someone staying in one location unless it's right at a spawn point. What exactly is wrong with someone staying in one location? This is the part I don't get. Again the game already shows location on radar when shots are fired and you can see the flash of the gun. If someone gets in a good location and can remain undetected props to them.
Having the game show a killed player where the shot came from is cheap, IMO. I think it takes more "skill" to use team work and awareness to find the other members rather than being told out right where someone is.

I guess we'll agree to disagree.

It's all good. At least there is a game mode without it which does give the option of not using it.

I think for snipers, the kill cam shouldn't be shown.

If a sniper has a good spot, and great cover, I think it should stay that way. It'll add more team work, and being able to find the sniper to take him down.

IMO it takes no skill at all to sit in a spot and snipe.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

The killcam is one thing that I dislike the other is the last stand crap, how many times do I have to spray 15 bullets into a dude just to watch him fall then turn on his *** just to hit me with 3 pistol shots then I die. Now that is complete garbage.

Im agree Skyboxer. Like you, I don't like spawn campers, but if someone finds a nice little place to sit or lay and can pick pepple off, more power to them . I really can't do that as I tend to to start running around. It's not a huge deal to me, but I don't think it should be in the game. I always skip it and just respawn.

Neither does blindly running around with no worries of who might be in a good spot, which is what the kill cam promotes. It takes more skill to go undetected than to be spoon fed info.

Great post, how about you actually add something to the discussion?

Agree. No matter which side you fall on at least be respectful.

Anyways. I just feel it would lessen the "run around - Run into an enemy - Hope you get the shot of first - Rinse - repeat" gameplay.

Re: Call of Duty 4 - Impressions

Free for all I usually find a spot and after a few kills, move to another one. Other types you have to move around so....
