a good bit of people hate our long spawn time, and it is annoying just looking up, wouldnt you agree, now a free cam wouldnt be fair, but is there a way to follow other players when you die, as like the way you can switch from player to player in battlerecorder, give you something to watch while you wait

it makes it to easy to find snipers ect, its really exsploited and it dose not work well.

strange, why would following the view of other fellow teammates be unfair?

becuase you might see a teammate killed, and also his killer. therefore you know enemy locations even though your are not actually in the battle - sounds real to me.........not, and as rhino said "its really exsploited".

And if you had a guy in a heli watching over all, you would know alot of information, too much!!!

all you have to do is press the space bar and you can go into free cam mode. then you can fly where u like as fast as you like and see all you want to see.

When you're dead (I mean proper dead, when it says 'You have been killed' as opposed to critically wounded) press C and you can cycle through chase cam on your team mates.

I do it all the time, keeps me busy after an arty strike.

When joint operations introduced the death cam it killed the game. At time of its released, my squad was pretty heavy into the JO:Reality mod designed by Brutal Arts and the JOps was pretty well dropped by most squads at that point.

We since have transitioned to BF2, tried the SPV5 MOD (team soto creation who were a part of brutal arts) and did not enjoy it -so we moved on. Then came PRMM and here we are -wow, pretty buzzy stuff eh!

Anyways, IMO the death cam is not a realitstic addon to the game, if anything even voice communications should be removed when the player is dead. Corpses cant speak or see.

May be a good idea would be to bring up the scoreboad during the players down time; it could be his mini-obit during the game. hahahaha... jk.

edit for sp.
