Freeze Camera

[DogWhoSpoke2Berkowtz]

What do you think about the freeze camera in DOD?

 

[BlackMesaSouth]

I think it is a good thing. It requires Snipers to think on their feet more and make use fire and move tactics. It reduces if not eliminates campers.

 

[DogWhoSpoke2Berkowtz]

I looked as Im sure other eG and eGOs have to find options to disable freeze camera. I found no options for the client end. Im sure they will have somethig soon.

 

[DogWhoSpoke2Berkowtz]

True, but if you have a nice spot, why give that up just because you kill a few people. I think it takes away from stratigy.

Bleh

I don't think the Freeze Cam fits with the concept of DoD as a slightly more realistic period shooter.

Valve has a bad history with death cam views anyway. Just look at the major death cam changes in all their games. At one point, in Counterstrike, the death cam was so bad I didn't play until the next patch which changed it back (or maybe I didn't even play again until CS:S - I can't remember).

i don't mind the freeze cam much, as i like to do my killing on the move. but the feel of it is just weird. It seems like they're trying to make DOD:S too much like tf2. but no i don't wanna play tf2 right now, i want my DOD:S

but let's keep the palerno map anyways

In counter-strike

When you die...There's no point in discussing if someones camping.
Your dead.

So in my opinion CS or CSS is a different game.

 

[Thorbjorn]

The freezing cam should be disabled cause it is giving out snipers posisions,....

 

[OSVG]

Freeze Cam is great in TF2 because of taunting.

Gives away your position in DoD. I vote disable in DoD.

 

[AWPerator]

I don't know about DoD, but in TF2, I love it.

 

[Everlast]

PLEASE remove it!!! I beg you!!!

 

[RippedPants]

I think it's a great new addition to the game.

 

[Kamakize Tommy]

We have removed it.

 

[St Anger]

yippie!

I don't really get how it ruins camping and gives away your location... When you die the camera pans over to the location where you got shot from anyways... If someone shoots you from a window, it pans over to the window and you can usually see their head stick out or see the camera moving around up stairs, and even see them running down the stairs to go camp elsewhere. With a freeze cam, the screen FREEZES, and you don't get to see where they are headed to. If you are prone and sniping, there is a good chance you will be in the EXACT same spot when the player you killed gets back, so they are going to know where you are anyway. I really don't get what all the fuss is over the cam.

yeah I don't think its bad at all. the best thing is when your sniping is that when you kill someone, you move, and while they look at the spot you were in last, you get BOOM HEADSHOT.

But I guess it depends on your play style.
