Do you still use the Killcam?

I've noticed that since I went back to COD4 and, more recently started playing WaW, I can't be bothered with the killcam anymore. If I'm killed I just press X and get right back into the game.

When I was learning the ropes, it was definitely a useful feature, but I just don't seem to make use of it anymore. Anyone else like this, or do you always try to seek out your nemesis?

Re: Do you still use the Killcam?

I'm the same as you Kav. I think it's because I often see who just shot me before I pop my cloggs anyway. I don't need to see it all again. As for who did it I'm not bothered really as it's all good fun

I rarely used it anyway to be honest. once someone had killed me I always (and still do ) take it personally then want to get back into the game asap to try and find my killer and wreak vengeance upon their person!

Only once or twice do I use the killcam when the occasional swine keeps taking me out from the same place and I can`t seem to figure out exactly where they`re picking me off from.

Re: Do you still use the Killcam?

I used too check it all the time, learn from my mistakes

But most times i just get straight back into the action.

Only really use it now if i have been killed by someone lots and i wanna see where they are.

And to check i have not been tea-bagged

Re: Do you still use the Killcam?

Depends, most of the time i just jump straight back in, if i got killed unexpectedly, or theres a sniper i just cant find or i supect someones cheating or glitching then ill look.

If im playing with friends most of the time ill watch to see if they did and thing funny before killing me

+1 here. Been playing a couple of Hardcore matches the last couple of nights, and it's kinda weird not having to skip the killcam.

It is pretty handy on Roundhouse 'core' games so you can report the f'ing glitchers tho...

Re: Do you still use the Killcam?

Depends, if I get killed & it's pretty obvious where from, I skip it. If I get killed by a sniper etc then I might have a look to see where it came from, then hunt them down

Played a few HC games last night, not having the Killcam took abit of getting used to, but not as much as not having the map, amazing how much attention I pay to it in normal modes, not only where the enemy is but where my team mates are.

Re: Do you still use the Killcam?

Not really......

If I'm not on with mates now I only play FFA. Not so much of a big deal on there because the games tend to be so frantic. Although if I do sneak up and do a 720degree spin jump twice, squat twice and stab I make a point of telling them to watch the killcam. Most peep on FFA seem happy to have a laugh

Re: Do you still use the Killcam?

I just press X without even thinking when I die, purley out of habbit, but if I get killed and Im thinking "what the F***?!" then I'll watch it.

Edit: FFAs is the only gametype I play and they're frantic; you want to get back in as soon as possible!

Re: Do you still use the Killcam?

sometimes stresses me out watching it. Last night for instance.

A guy had a sniper rifle aimed through a wall and hit me in the head from the other side of the map! aimbot? <--(not possible?)

I used mosin nagant with out a scope and shot the guy through the wall across the map on castle and got a lucky headshot. Maybe it was you I shot?
