why does cod games have a kill cam in it showing you who killed you and how they killed you and where they are. i mean. thats so unrealistic and cheap. so if somone snipes you then you know where they were hiding so you kill them when u spawn.

I never felt this way. Only because half the time I watch myself die im just kind of in shock on how bad the kill cam is. Half the deaths don'tt really make sense how you die.

kill cams are good, stops people from finding the one hiding spot on the map and camping.. thereby making it a more exciting game...

I love it and hate it at the same time. Love it because it drives me crazy when i dont know how the hell i died... I hate it because it basically shows that the person that killed you is camping in some window in a Domination game, not caring about the flags, and picking everyone off that walks by, that also drives me crazy

yyou might want to check your resources, COD is one of the most realistic shooters out there, but all and all it is a game so some elements are placed to make it more casual gamer friendly.

for kill cams, screw regular deathmatch or anything, go hardcore it does not have killcams but bullet damage is raised so you can drop a guy with a single bullet on some guns, its a better experience, if i wanted to drop a clip into a guy and have him turn and kill me id play halo

and if your smart enough you can find where they shot you from without the aid of a killcam

I hate CoD WoW but CoD4 is great. Like the previous poster said, I hate it when people camp while playing either headquarters or domination instead of helping their team. There is nothing more frustrating when you lead your team in kills and your the only one trying to grab flags. As far as the kill cam goes, I dont care one way or the other, most of the time I play hard core so theres no UAV or Killcam

haven't played cod5, but if it's anything like cod4, then there should be a hardcore mode...hardcore mode is more realistic.

If you think CoD is realistic then you must live your life in a video game.. Just because it has nice graphics and real guns does not mean realistic..

How could a game with perks be realistic lmao. Yea thats realistic!

Sorry dude but pretty much nothing is realistic about CoD online.. Getting shot 2 times in the leg and being dead is not realistic, its just dumb, and hardcore pretty much is who sees who first.

hooded1man nailed it - play the hardcore modes when you unlock them at lvl 18 - they are more fun, no kill cams - only thing I hate is there is as much as 15 seconds before you respawn, sometimes it's right away, but overall it's way better than the regular modes - bullets do more damage so no real need for stopping power and juggernaut is less effective as well. Tanks are still tough to take down, which can suck at times.

why does cod games have a kill cam in it showing you who killed you and how they killed you and where they are. i mean. thats so unrealistic and cheap. so if somone snipes you then you know where they were hiding so you kill them when u spawn. LittleToejam

There's a couple things about this:

1. If you play hardcore mode, there's no killcam. Problem solved.

2. Personally, I find this to work to my advantage. I've been playing COD 4 and WaW for a long time. I served as a beta tester for both. Anyways, I've gotten to the point, that when I kill someone, I KNOW they're gonna come right back at me when they respawn. Or go right back to the spot where I killed them, just for me to kill them again.

When you've played COD for a long time, like any other shooter, you start to learn people's tendencies. I'm sure we all know some spots where you can throw a grenade and almost always kill someone. Just because you know 9 times out of 10, someone is there.

But yeah...if you don't like the killcam, Hardcore mode is your friend. Although there's a little more camping in hardcore, because people don't just use the map and chase the orange dots. Regular Team Deathmatch is basically run and gun. Makes it really easy when you're a smart, stop and pop style player like myself.

kind of agree. There's a lot of BS in COD4, and like you said, most of my killcams don't answer the question of how I died. Example: I knife a guy in the face, it does nothing. Then he knifes me and I die. In the killcam it just shows him knife me, and I'm just kind of standing there doing nothing. I guess it's lag, but come on.

kill cams are cool for that matter but when your sniping it is pretty cheap. You pretty much have to change location after every sniper kill in CoD:WaW and CoD4.

for kill cams, screw regular deathmatch or anything, go hardcore it does not have killcams but bullet damage is raised so you can drop a guy with a single bullet on some guns, its a better experience, if i wanted to drop a clip into a guy and have him turn and kill me id play halo

and if your smart enough you can find where they shot you from without the aid of a killcam

its a run and gun. some parts are realistic but overall they have made fun the priority over realism. after all if you were really in a war would you run out all over the place just killing people for fun without protecting yourself etc. awsome game cod5 and cod4. but its not as realistic as you would think. something like rainbow six las vegas comes alot closer to shooting combat in terms of realism. but cod tends to win the war online because its much more fun and easily accessible for people to play. i think you should play hardcore like these guys are suggesting and it will solve your problem.

I love kill cams cause they are just plain out funny to watch if your just goofing off. Although they do give away good spots where your hiding.

CoD in over-all is NOT REALISTIC! Golden Eye for N64 is more realistic than that thrash.

The only time I don't like it is if I'm trying to snipe. I try to hide myself the best I can and then just end up dying because some guy figured out where I was by watching the kill cam.

Yea, I dont really mind killcams cos ac least I know ehere I get killed from. Been playing hardcore recently-Fun! so easy to get kills, but the spawning can be bad. My thought is: why can't I just be spawned somewhere AWAY from an enemy who watches me spawn in front of him and gunns me down. Sometimes you can't even get off your spawn point before being shot- it just hardly happens in core, but I like how powerful guns are in hardcore. It wouldn't be so bad if there was not any spawn timer... I never really knew why hardcore TDM needs spawn timer, or maybe just have a short one like the time a killcam lasts. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

For the people suggesting playing hardcore that's not always a good choice. I played COD4 a lot on hardcore and i can't tell you how many times my teammates killed me,shot my claymore to place theirs killing both of us,teammate using matrydom,throwing grenades and missing killing me,and killing me for my weapon.. I too dislike the killcam but it doesn't really matter. I move from place to place so they more than likely wont find me.

Not only that, but Killcams were also intended for catching hackers and cheaters, which it is very good at.

So the kill cam does suck at times when you find the perfect spot or whatever...but as everyone has pretty much said, that's why they make hardcore, so go learn to play that.

Meanwhile, it's helped the video game be a video game...you can have as much realism as you want but in the game you need some different tastes of unrealism. So enjoy it when it's available or play hardcore and don't complain about it.

I'm all for the kill cams.
If don't know how I died...well, I'd like to know.:D

And, if you're sniping in one spot, you're doing it wrong.
I personally don't snipe in any game, and even I know that.

how is COD4 technically not 4? It actually says Call of Duty 4 on the box. No where does it say 5 on the new game. can we get anymore technical?

Wrong. CoD WaW is not CoD5, but CoD4 is technically 4. The reason, it has the 4 in the name thus it is CoD4.
