Tricky one this. Part of me wants to say no as it removes the annoyance of giving away a defensive position (i.e. cheeky grenades etc and also does allow unfair ambushes to be set as they know where you are headed.

On the other hand the kill cam means reduced camping and a potentailly more fluid game as you have to keep moving.

Choices, choices....

1 for killcam

IMO....
One of players most voiced gripes is campers! Killcam helps change the way players play the map as the longer you stay in one place the more likely you are to get fragged.
A lot of the time you know where the person who killed you is anyway, killcam often shows you someone making a really good shot/ nade etc or a good position on the map which helps you learn how to play the map better and improve your game.

Lastly I think it helps with unneeded accusations of cheating as players can actually see how they were fragged and get over it!

viva la killcam!

I voted no because I think the benefits do not out weigh the speed of game play. I have a busy schedule and if I have time for a game I want to spend it playing the game and not in a long spawn period watching the person who just pwnd me, pwn me again in instant reply.

Again, I just like the fast game play and I feel killcam slows this.

The only benefit I can see to use it is sometimes you can see l33t haxzors in the replay and ban them straight away. I think team play needs to be the goal for getting someone's position on a map. Send out a mouse and let your team mates look for the direction of the bullet tracers that hit him. There's your camper. Only a knife away to handle a camper and then claymore the location to keep them from returning.

Just my 2p

Here is my point exactly,if you dont want to watch the killcam press "f" at anytime to skip it and look at your body lying on the ground for the next 10 secs !

with Killcam theres is the option to skip it if people dont want to watch,without it though there is NO choice whatsoever.

but I want the game to spawn me back in game play as soon as possible. I can't even remember my flag button let alone the the kill the killcam button.

Make it easier on the gamer who wants a good game. Killcam, I feel, isn't user friendly. I don't want to be in limbo for 10 seconds. I want to respawn straight away.

i think ur missing the point,only tdm has no respawn time everything else has or should have a 10 sec respawn,so either way ur gonna be idle for 10 secs so it may give u something to look at.Like i said if you dont wanna look at it in tdm dont,just respawn.

your drunk. ::)

Might be interesting to put a note on the server console message telling players about this poll make sure they know about the change coming and allow them their two cents. I could put a clickable link to polls in TS too... OK fine. Speedy's drunk but not a bad idea. :P

But for 75% of the game you are in limbo not matter what,as you cannot respawn,unless you are suggesting that we take of the respawn time for all modes which i think would be a very, very bad idea ?

Me,though,it gives me something to look at while i wait to respawn.

I have kept my mouth shut as I don't really play on the server but I do prefer it on tbh.

So seeing as its a dead heat, why not just put it on and see how it goes!
