  • Cool idea... but 10 seconds is pretty lengthy. As bougo said, it's probably going to be hard to code.

  • I have a feeling the official dev response will have something to do with csqc support :)

    No, it won't, since the client doesn't know what all other client's are doing. So the server would have to record everything and send the recording of the attacker to the victim. And during playback you have to maintain two different states for every entity or resend all entities like when a new player joins. So i unless there's an elegant solution for those problems of which i'm not aware, i don't think anyone will ever try to implement such a feature...

    So not 10 then 5 sec that will be easier?

  • No. But would be easier to play. 10 sec kill cam in nexuiz is... stupid. Kill cam in general is stupid.
    I like it in COD but I would not like it in Nexuiz.

    There are times where I like it. What harm is there is you're just going to press skip it anyway? It's good for those times where you're like, "how the hell?"

  • I truthfully never liked the killcam :(
    To me it just takes to much time and interrupts the fast paced gameplay
