> [@Skitelz7](#): > > Because the BF1 killcam was made for noobs and this game is taylored towards the more hardcore players. > And you’re exaggerating about the BFV killcam being buggy, and the game was just released. It will get better with time. Wow - so you acknowledge that it is bugged with the excuse ‘it has just released’. I’m sorry. I paid 80GBP for this game., The last game had a functional kill cam. Like I said before, they could have used the same mechanism and shown it for less time (so it was less ‘nooby’) than recreating the wheel, messing it up and charing AAA premium prices. I really don’t understand this argument. The crux is that the hardcore community don’t want anyone to see anyone on a kill cam at all? Here is another idea - why don’t we just have a hardcore model with no killcam, and super fast TTK and TTD. Let then the hardcore players play hardcore. Let the rest of the community (who are leaving the game franchise in droves) have a fun game with a functional kill cam. I anyone thinks that this game which has been designed for the hardcore community is a success, then I’m sorry, but you are totally deluged. This sales disaster has the potential to bring down the entire franchise and DICE. TLDR: DICE broke something that wasn’t broken, The could have just reduced the time that you saw the cam. But no. Its ok to have a buggy mess instead. Apparently. Coz it’s ‘hardcore’ ---

So players think this is what is getting them killed, LOL, like those streams of tracers they’re hosing around aren’t a tip-off for the other team, or maybe they think nobody is using chat to let their squad know what just happened. “Completely destroys gameplay”–man, what a bunch of drama queens. Have they already forgotten that in previous games just firing put them on the minimap without even getting a kill? ---

> [@parkingbrake](#): > > “Completely destroys gameplay”–man, what a bunch of drama queens. Have they already forgotten that in previous games just firing put them on the minimap without even getting a kill? There is a reason for why it was removed. IMO using other senses than minimap, makes it more realistic and funnier to play. Besides that, killing someone should be rewarded. Not punished. ---

> [@theONEFORCE](#): > > I don’t mind how the kill cam works now but I wish they would keep the kill card up the entire time you are waiting to be revived. I miss not seeing who killed me and what weapon they used. The kill card goes away in about a second now. Agreed, I don’t like it also that most of the times I don’t see the name of the person or their gun that killed me. ---

Have they already forgotten that in previous games just firing put them on the minimap without even getting a kill? And you forgot about the existence of surpressors in bf3 and bf4 and the complete removal of firing exposing you on the mini map in bf1. And yea… on console you know how often randoms chat with each other? Like never. So odds are you didnt kill a guy who was in a communicating squad and if you killed a guy in cqb with good accuracy there won’t be tracer rounds for others to really see. Yes they will hear the gun fire and see the dead body of their teammate but they are more likely to attempt a revive on that person then to look for you. This is a legitimate complaint and honestly only helps noobs get kills on good players who would otherwise be tearing up their back line. ---

He’s just trying to come off as a BA. Obviously he didn’t bother reading this whole thread because there were several legitimate reasons why it needs to be removed beyond camping and the “durr durr durr, that’s not really why you are dying” nonsense was brought up on page one. ---

Yeah the bug explains a lot of bs. No idea why this bug isn’t #1 priority. I was hooked on the game but I had a lot of “there was no way he knew I was there” moments. It really makes me want to stop playing until it’s fixed. Bipod issues, climbing over obstacles issues, setting down boxe issues. I’ve been defending battlefield this whole time but all these bugs and inconveniences are ridiculous.
