Is there a way that we can automatically send you to view from a team mates eyes instead? Then no black screen but no seeing where you got shot from (probably).

What does the UN charter have to say on this?

Today was the first time playing dod in 4 months. I still suck more then ever at it. So the death cam helps me. I like it alot better then watching a black screen. And in my case I would be seeing black more then playing the game. Oh and other then having my teammates calling me a jackass for not hiding with them while I ran around in the middle of the map swinging a knife or shovle it was fun.

I have thought about the black screen problem alot. Can TV2 be upgraded to the new DoD and have the black screen? Then we got a server with it and a server without it. And people can play on the one that they want to.

One word: disapointing

I can't force you to stay playing here with us, and I can't say I agree with your reasons especially regarding the BSoD. Frankly, apart from noobs, anybody knows where they got killed. It's not like there were many places to hide. And considering your post, I don't think you see noobs as a challenge. If you really think that when you are hiding someone who got shot doesn't know it, well you are mistaken, especially because of the nuzzle flash.

I know where ppl are even when they are not shooting at me, if they had shot one single shot from their weapons. That flash can be seen from very far away. And after that I hear I wallhack because I know where ppl are, while moreover I hear them walking all over the place.

Shock, anybody with brains, ears and experiences knows everything, every strategies, every hiding spots that someone use, especially on maps we play all the time. I did not see you got killed more these days than you were with the BSoD.

As for the maps, I did not experience what you described. I'm not sure you will find a better playing experience elsewhere, but good luck.

Eh, Paddy...the BSoD can be useful. Ever been shot in a huge area with lots of obstacles? Unless the guy shooting you is an idiot, you probably won't see him. You can make your assumptions, but it doesn't mean that you'll be right. Even if you do know where he shot you from, you still have to wonder, has he moved? Is he still there? Does he have backup? Death cam can easily take away all questions of his whereabouts and if he's alone or not.
