Hai Guys

I made a post after initially buying the game, and how awful I was, and as an update, I brought my ratio from .5 to .76 since then, and am about to become 25th rank. Having a lot more fun and I am much more comfortable. With that said.

The most frustrating thing so far for me, is the Killcam. I enjoy seeing where an enemy sniper got me so I know what to avoid, or just how random that nade I walked in to was. But when an enemy is rushing me to knife me, and me USP-45 in hand, am pumping multiple shots in to their chest, and then I die...It's frustrating. Then the Killcam plays, and on it I have only fired 1-2 shots, with maybe 1 hitting them, before I'm knifed. The difference is crazy. What should be a kill on my screen becomes my death according to the game. I can live with this, but boy does my blood boil when it happens.

Does anyone else have similar frustrations? I know that lag plays a small part in it, and the game syncing up data, but it just leaves me a little upset when I saw them, fired, and ended up dead. I feel a little helpless afterward.

Ignore the part about who shot who how many times on the killcam.  You can't let yourself be bothered by that.  Lag is lag.  Use the killcams only for location of the enemy.

were you moving?  snipers lead  their shots on moving targets.
but i agree lag drives me  crazy too. i hate when you unload a whole clip but killcam  shows you facing the wrong way!

Definitely lag, I hate that too.  I'm pretty sure it's not embarrassing as missing a knife stab, man!  Those are the worst and plain out embarrassing then you get killed, booo!

I think that either the kill cam should be removed, or add a new perk that you can use that disables the kill cam when you kill someone. I can never snipe very lone without being naded.

congrats on your improving K/D ratio.

I'd work on trying to learn what is happening to frustrate you - and try to avoid that in the future.  Killcams can be easily skipped, for the people thinking it should be removed, so I don't see the need for anything to be done about it.

Removing kill cams would be UNcool.  Kill cams can only benefit you, there isn't really a downside.  I wish we could replay OUR kills, that would be pretty sweet!

I hate it when your sniping and you fire at a guy and you die just after and on the killcam it doesn't even show you firing but don't pay much attention to the lag filled killcams.

Exactly.

And anyway, most of the time the killcam is right, no matter what you feel happened. Occasionally some lag was involved, or a host's poor connection, but usually that is not the case. Use the killcam for tips.

As a matter of fact I was moving.  The thing is, he didn't lead in front of me, he shot far behind me.
