I read somewhere that the mod will not tell you who shot you, or what they used? That is one of the better ideas I've heard of in a long time.
I had an idea to go along with that last night as I was in a server on teamspeak with a bunch of friends. When I died the game switched me to a team mates view while I waited to spawn back in, and I guided him around a base where someone was hiding (that guy had just killed me). While that may be slightly unethical....
Not sure whats possible with the IP Coms in BF2, but it would be cool to have someones voice muted when then die and stay that way till respawn. They are "dead" after all.
yes i think in such cases the "ghost" isnt going to be a problem since well 2 things they can be on a diffrent squad but also the person who shot well i hope that person is smart enough to move. because then you would be just a little retarded camping in one spot... can you say laser target ? lol

I think that if you die you should be muted for a certain amount of time, so that you cannot tell your teammate where the sniper is, but you will still be able to talk to your buddies. Maybe like 30 seconds would be enough, because by then they would have noticed you are missing, or at least it is too late to save your squad which would give them an unfair advantage. Maybe a variable death mute time for a server option.
Ive never played Battlefield games before, but i know in certain games, when your killed the camera point toward the enemy that shot you, if thats the case in BF2, please eliminate that in the reality mode...

That is a server side option and most servers have that option off....thank god!!!
I'm not entirely in favour of the idea about making someone mic quiet when they die. I'm thinking of this from a clan perspective, and good, constant communication is what has won the clan I'm in several tournaments. Muting the mics will take away the team-work side of things, and focus it more on individual skills, which is kind of the opposite of what I see the game, and this mod, being about.
Maybe one option to prevent someone from communicating where they got killed from would be to have the camera go into a satellite view, where you can see the battlefield, but not close enough to be able to make out individual people. I don't know if this would be possible, but it would be slightly more realistic than having the camera following another player.
I don't know if this is possible, but another option could be to have the person's viewpoint as if they were lying on their side, and have everything very dim, or slightly out of focus. Is this at all possible with the BF engine, either of them so far??

wow thats awsome never thought of that, like its a advantage to know where your buddie died ect i like that alot !!
what solo is trying to say that if its teamwork doesnt mean that its realistic its cheap like he said, just case your in a tourniment doesnt mean you can tell where they are your dead, so there for deadmen cant tell tails

What??? What is are you on about???
My suggestion was a way around having the camera follow your teammates around. It wasn't meant to simulate "looking down from heaven", or whatever you thought it was.
If my suggestion is so horrible, then what are your suggestions??? Got any other good ideas??
i reckon the VOip is going to be useless anyway, from what i know of it, is it sucks bandwith, something a TS server does not.
but again this was a while while while back, I don' tknow how it has advanced in the way of data stransmission, but 56k-ers won't be able to use it at all thats for sure, and TS is possible to run fine
One thing for sure about VOip is that having so many people using it will give you some ungodly lag...especialy if you get a tard with the broken mic with constant static....
well ihate to say it but no matter how it is when we die is still unrealisic we still come back, we should just have our mic muted and go into a spec mode and just watch some1 the we want to own the team that just killed us ^^

Even if they do mute it, teamspeak/ventrilo are 2 alternatives that can be used. A simple view from their corpse or something untill they respawn would be more suitable, just staring out into the sky/ground. That way players could not ghost and what not. Or jsut give them a blank screen, I do however agree players should be muted and not able to send any typed messages while dead. Its very lame to try using "Stealth" only to have half of his team know where you are immediately upon killing him.
Yeah, looking at your body for atleast a few seconds to watch the ragdoll is always nice. Going pitch black straight away gets irritating as you dont even know where you got shot from its just black instantly...atleast you could see yourself tumble forwards and realise you got shot in the back....since afterall you can feel the bullet hit you and realise where it came from
well then could we watch out death then, as soon as the body stops moving we go to a blank black screen or some sort of waiting loby lol, pics up the news papper and sits on the couchs to wait in line..lol
