But how can you contain yourself if you kept getting shot by the same person all the time? I'd want to know where they are so I can rip their balls off.

Well if its a repeat offender and I've got good map knowledge and good surround sound I'll know where they are. For me the kill cam isnt just bad because it shows you attackers positions its because you can see whos with them and pass that info on to alive people.

For instance

"hey guys I just got shot from a sniper in that building....oh wait there....there's four of them in there with 2 medics."
 
Holding out for this game and decided to give MW2 a miss as played BF2 a lot on PC.

Not sure about killcams - they are work well on TF2 but not sure about them in what is meant to be a more serious setting.

Hmm I see your point.

I'm not saying I'm going to be a pure hardcore man though. I still think core will be good. But the killcam thing does bug me.

At the moment I use it to my advantage. Knowing that person has certain info can mean trapping or throwing them off is easy. For instance for the first 5 seconds after each kill I either travel in a different direct if I dont want to trap them. Or I just sit down for 5 seconds like I'm bedding in - I then relocate and watch that spot....oh look who's coming :D
 
Been having some absolutely awesome games on this over the past few days. I went back to MW2 last night, and I have to be honest, I didn't enjoy it at all after playing this. The killstreaks just did my head in, and the lack of teamwork in TDM is just nuts!

Also, sniping is MW2 is so lame compared to the sniping in BC2. You actually have to use a degree of skill to land perfect shots from long distances, and the hitboxes of the players are a lot smaller than they are in MW2. When I snipe though, it isn't a "stay back and be a useless solo-player sniper". I'm constantly spotting enemies, trying to take down enemy players that are chasing people on my side, and either offensively or defensively sniping point A or B wherever possible. It is still early days in the demo but I am having a lot of fun, especially when you get yourself into a squad that works together.

Biggest bugbear at the moment is the amount of idiot assault players that end up shooting at you or stabbing you in the face when you ask them for ammo if you've run out. Yes, cos I'm standing there shouting my head off for ammo for my own entertainment. Get a clue!

I pre-ordered BC2 a while back after seeing the videos, and now I am happy to say that I will definitely be keeping my pre-order for it. It is going to be an awesome game on release :)

I think maybe they need to add something like forcing a single clip out of the assault class. So basically if you request ammo they auto drop a single clip.

Dumb?

Should make it like the callout wheel in BF2142 e.g. Select would open the menu, if you then release Select it'd spot or if you moved around the wheel and released the button it would request ammo, health etc.

Maybe a HUD icon for locating what you need would be good as well. I'm sure there's times when there's probably ammo in the next room to me.

It does indicate on the minimap people who require ammo/health. Although the suppliers choose to ignore them more often than not and just run away from you. :D

It's a rubbish system though. You've got to point at someone who's of that class to specifically ask for things and all they get is an inaudible message from your direction and a weird phone/plaster symbol on the map which nobody even looks at anyway :p

Hmm, I tend just to throw ammo around willy nilly and then people can help themselves.
 
I enjoyed it today when I was playing on my own, it seemed far more responsive, but playing it tonight with Kreeeee I was having to fire full clips into people to get a kill. People were also getting kills on me after I had already killed them.

Can't see myself forking out for it anyway. If it had dedicated servers like 1943 so it was lag free I might have considered it, but I don't know it just doesn't feel right when playing.
