It's about seeing if the person cheats, anyone who shoots you you will know or you should know where from imo, if anyone camps on the same place for 5 minutes that's their problem, that's just bad gaming and if you think a Recon isn't spotted by their lens flare or pinged by the other 30 people on your team i don't know what to say..
It's far more important to see a kill cam than someone maybe being revealed their position. So no, i don't agree, i don't want to hear excuses anymore, i want to see who killed me, how they killed me and if they cheat they get's reported and banned.
That just shows you don’t actually understand how Recon works. Not every Recon is sitting on a hill with a 10x scope giving off lens flare. You can run Recon with a carbine, DMR, suppressed gun and play close or mid-range just like any other class. And as for “pinged by 30 teammates,” yeah, that assumes your entire team’s running perfect spotting awareness, which never happens in reality. Any class can be stealthy if you know how to move around the map and use cover.
Saying it’s fine to reveal someone’s position because “Recons get spotted anyway” completely misses the point. Battlefield’s supposed to reward tactics and awareness, not spoon-feed the people who got outplayed. If the concern is cheaters, then EA needs proper replay tools and a better anti-cheat system. Not a death cam that punishes players for using strategy and awareness. The fact it already marks your position when you kill someone is dumb enough; adding a death cam would just make it worse.
And let’s be real a death cam wouldn’t even show what the other player actually saw. It’s not a true recording, it’s just a quick reconstruction pulled from server data. It won’t display their actual aim movements, their input timing, their latency, visibility, or how much the game was even rendering for them. So what you’d see is a fake, simplified version of what happened not what really went down on their screen.
Half the time it would make clean kills look like aimbot or wallhacks just because of delay, desync, or poor hit registration. All it would do is flood reports with false “cheater” claims and make the game look worse than it actually is. It doesn’t solve anything it just creates confusion, drama, and even more people screaming “hacker” every time they lose.
