I don't see anyone who has actually seen tracer fire complaining in this forum about how they look in CoD but rather saying how good they look. Doesn't that really say it all?
I have seen and fired hundreds of thousands (estimated) during my time as a Paratrooper and the CoD tracers look great!

yes, although if viewed side on from a distance away the same tracers would appear to that person as dots. If that person started videoing the tracer it would then appear on the film as lasers.
The laser effect you see with your eyes is caused because your brain cannot percieve detail at that speed just like waving your hand infront of your face. While the camera Laser effect is caused by long exposure to the light and nothing to do with speed. Two separate phenomanons.
