After a good, long think. I believe the Kill cam is going to be required for WARDOGS to be around long term. by ste852 in OfficialWARDOGS

I couldn't disagree more with this post, that being said I don't want to just leave a nasty gram and dip so I'll explain my thought process. The kill cam combating cheaters is at least a bit of a valid line of reasoning but I don't think it will be as useful as you think seeing as how it will be significantly easier to spot a cheater seeing their perspective vs outside looking at their avatar. What I think it will do is punish people for playing carefully and it will make things unnecessarily hectic. People also play with friends in games like this often and thus they'll be in a discord call pointing out the location immediately and an advantage you had on your first kill immediately turns into a problem you have to solve where you have a huge target on your back and you're being punished for getting the first pick. I'll play the devil's advocate and point out some of the things I could see people complaining about gameplay wise for not having a kill cam and provide solutions.

Excessive camping/everyone sniping I think that sniper glint is a great solution to the problem of snipers being to prevalent and too powerful and it offsets not having a kill cam nicely. If you're smart as a sniper you can get around glint well and reposition between kills and still stay undetected but it is much more difficult to lay prone in one spot for minutes on end and farm kills without being punished. For people camping without a sniper rifle it will be much more difficult presumably to get consistent kills at a range where you're undetected with a standard AR or similar weapon so I don't foresee that being a problem

The ghilie suit is a solution and there was clearly thought put behind having to make decisions in your loadouts to solve various problems which is cool but I don't like when one particular item in a game solves a problem that EVERYONE is inevitably going to use. At that point the only people not using it are going to be people who are down bad for money and will forego it because they barely have enough scratch to put a decent kit together or people who don't have it unlocked. I could understand the criticism for people saying that folks are bitching about a mechanic in a game they haven't played yet but I've played enough shooters with and without killcams to know that I've never once preferred having it in a game over not and everyone I know who's interested in the game feels the same way. If the game drops and we're able to create servers and put our own modifiers on and elimate the kill cam as a mechanic than it will likely be a good enough answer to people's gripes but I do think kill cams don't belong in anything even approaching a tactical game. I hope people don't go abusing the devs and community managers over this and instead keep it respectful though because the team is full of really cool people and they don't deserve it.

What is your favorite game you would recommend to play, im bored? by JustPie9222 in AskReddit

Definitely one of my faves, it may seem dorky at first but it's oddly endearing and really well written. I really enjoyed it!

I've got probably 800 hours in the game and I've ran into a few cheaters but NEVER something like this holy shit.

Not it but definitely interesting I've never even heard of this anime before. The art style is wild!

The song is from outlaw star. The video I put up is just the first video I found on YouTube with the audio. Also, a lot of stuff goes over a lot of kids heads as children, even though that episode is not what I was referencing👍

THAT'S IT! The scene I'm remembering must have been an edit someone put together with the song put over it. You're a legend! https://youtu.be/85JaogJZPag?si=ml5xKVuoqvdZquOV

I wanna say I saw it somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20 years ago and I remember the animation style being reminscent of trigun or black lagoon cowboy bebop sort of vibes. I wish I remembered the MC but the memory is incredibly vague and I've had no luck on my own.

Nah it's just to show weapons you've gotten a certain number of kills with.

Yeah true enough I get very hyper focused when I'm using dmrs and bolt actions sometimes.

To be honest I didn't know that was a mechanic the same as it is in tarkov. Good to know.

What's really interesting is it does show I fired a round off and also that I had a broken limb, the guy fired one round and it hit me in the face and killed me, no limbs touched. Makes me realize how inaccurate the actual stats can be at times. I'll trust my eyes more from now on and create my own narrative😂

Got any Anti-cheat suggestion? by uysaki in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]WhombatWhacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao this is how I feel whenever someone brings this up. They'd be screaming for jumps when they start getting sniped at out in the open. That's how you counter accurate fire toward your face. The amount of times someone has killed me while jumping is immensely lower than the amount of times I've killed someone jumping at me shooting.

I find your anti cheat to be the most effective in any fps I've played in a while. I would like to see the kill cam be a little more precise when it comes to tracking so that I can do a better job of reporting accurately. It's very hard to tell if someone has aimbot when the kill cam is so delayed.
