Can you replace the 3. person sight while dead?
« on: 28-12-2011, 02:12:22 »
Hello folks,

It would be nice if you could replace the 3. Person sight when you are laying dead on the battlefield
with the realistic 1. person sight you gain if you get disabled (Only if you get killed as an infantry soldier, not in vehicles).

----
+ adds a immersive effect
+ stops the reporting of enemy positions via chat or headset
+ removes this buggy sight through buildings and trees
+ helps players to explore the beautiful sky

- maybe a lot of work?!

Cheers,

Yes this is even more annoying because the view points towards who killed you reveling his position.

I will always support this idea, 3rd person view shows you the guy who killed you and you can easily find him and get your revenge in next life as many times defender stay in one place for longer than your 15secs respawn time...  :-\

IMO it's fun to see what's going on around you when you "die"

That's an old version, in current you don't switch cameras until a second or two after you die.

Killcams are better suited for fast-paced arcade shooters (Quake, UT, etc.), where nobody is even supposed to stay put or "defend" anything. In a game trying to recreate even a slightly believable battlefield, "camping" and ambushing should be rewarded, not punished. Funnily enough, even in vanilla BF2 you look at the sky instead of getting an OOBE of your corpse and the killer!

You could still warn your buddies based on the kill message, but you couldn't tell them "sniper in church staircase window" or "tiger behind the second bush to the east of bunker" like you can now.

I think t would be nice when after you get shot etc. camera stays on 1st person view, and your view depends on the way your body fell. Is that possible? If not "looking at the sky" from vBF2 sounds like a good option.

The camera that falls down and looks at the sky is the one that is used when you are in the dead but revivable state.  The 3rd person camera is the one when you are completely dead.  FH2 has never used the revive time because for some reason or other instead of running concurrently to the spawn timer (as in vBF2 and almost all other mods), they run consecutively.

Is it possible to change the 'completely dead' view? I dont have knowledge about the engine...

I think the joy of watching other people fight after you die overwights the unrealistic exposal of enemy players. Most often you dont see the enemy even after you die, or at close fighting, you already know where enemy is at.

So, don't change anything voted.
