Camera should "zoom in" on your murderer when you die

[Zentrom 0]

Almost everyone who played Dayz for some time got killed by a sniper from nowhere, and it's a bit annoying that you don't know where your murderer was,and what he "looked like".

I think it would be better that when you die, your murderer gets zoomed in for you for a few seconds, to know where he was. This could be applyable to the mod and the SA too...

Here's an example what I'm thinking of...i only played Arma Cold war yet from the Arma series,so I don't know that in the other single player "episodes" is the same or not:

This is the only video i found...

The game looks a bit old,and the video doesn't have the best quality either,but i think you can sort out of it what am i thinking of...

1.If you get killed by a gun,then the murderer gets zoomed in.

2.If by a car,then the car.

3.If you fell off a cliff then you get zoomed in.

I haven't seen this kind a thread in here yet,but if there is one, then I'm sorry :D

No thanks.

[King Tubbs 224]

no its unfair on you're killer

4 people on teamspeak 1 gets shot and then the other 3 get told where the killer is

UNFAIR

And then you respawn and find ur killer as you put him on the map..

[BwobBwub 660]

Well, that can be unfair on the sniper. What if you had a couple of buddies on you who could just hop along and kill him/her if you tell them where the sniper was?

The difference with OFP was that it was always different when you were killed and the that was being played on a singleplayer mission, "Battlefields".

[BlackDalia 95]

Yeah, cause thats very realistic and would not remove me from my immersion in the game at all ;)

Just spot the goddamn guy. For killcams go to CoD, it's stupid to zoom in on the guy, unless you can never play on that server again or they add it on a new difficulty mode, "Super Easy Baby Mode". Otherwise, you can just spawn and mark him on the map, or go to his area and kill him, or if you're with a group you just say to them exactly where he is right after he killed you.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

As already said, if you're playing as part of a team and one of your guys gets sniped, the rest of the team will then know his position via the kill-cam so although it's a nice idea it's a bit of a gamebreaker.

Is this a vote thread for the worst feature ever added to fps?

[Xucphra 453]

No

[dayz standalone 33]

This is just as realistic as the dumb 3rd person mode, that really needs to go to if they want to add immersion.

[radrussian1 (DayZ) 23]

why? if you see him you see him, if you dont then you dont. noones here to hold your hand bro.

3rd person gives you an fov similar to real life, although it can be exploited. using magic zoom cameras is not realistic any way you look at it.

[Quobble (DayZ) 2]

AW HELLO NO!

[mick17 93]

No thanks! I hate those cams in any online game. Ruins everything the shooter/killer worked for!

To a certain extent yes, the whole being able to look around corners bugs me, as does when your prone and able to see over a wall.I think they should do away an just have a learn feature.I at least think that would add more to the game than take away from it.

[IcyZ 295]

AW HELLO NO!

Hello to you too sir, how are you?

[GoonSquadCentral 11]

the reason this doesnt exist is because you dont get death cams in real life. made this as real as possible

lets not get in to another 3rd person debate

we all know how it goes 65/75% want to keep it the rest get really pissy about other people not agreeing

but the peolpe who want to keep it talk about pov sickness, seasickness, migraines and all the other things causes but arma !st persone camera

then they are told " there are only 1st person servers go and play on 1 of them" then they get pissy because " those severs are empty"

there we go i have just saved ust an hour of bullshit and stoped this thread getting shut down

stay on topic people

[mphilippa 43]

So much no!! The whole concept of the game is immersion and realism (zombies are totally real man)

[enforcer1975 1111]

That's the fun in the game...you never know where it hit you from...

Imagining that would be awful. I could NEVER fly a helicopter straight. I'd have a tough time driving too. I always need to see the back of the vehicle. It drives me nuts sometimes to be looking at a small window called a monitor, then through another smaller window that I must use to drive and see.

Not a bad idea, but there are servers just for that. It would add to the immersion, but it wouldn't be helpful and fun for some people.

This might be the best 'sit down shut up' post I've ever seen. And I'm one of the dudes who vouches for 1st person only!

EDIT: Getting back to OP, who it seems is no longer with us due to death by bad suggestion, that is a very bad idea for all the reasons listed above. No.

'YOU ARE DEAD'

You shouldn't even hear the last shot let alone see from whence it came.

[[email protected] 2416]

Fuck it. Why not just put an option in the player-list so everyone can insta-kill folks they don't like?

It's DayZ, if you want to view the person responsible for your death, buy a webcam.
