Guncam idea for COD

[Ravenous]

that sounds awsome
i've always just turned off the cockpit when viewing tracks to get the same kind of thing, but it doesn't really work that well.

having an official and easy-to-use guncam function would be a really fun addition to the experience, and if b&w and other effects would be possibl at the flick of a switch, it could even be part of a debriefing in campaigns

anyone who might know more about this than me:
do you think it'd be hard to make an option for an offcenter pov in a recorded track to make this possible, in an engine that supports 6DOF?

Very good idea!

I did a little searching and found a post from Oleg on the guncam feature.

does indeed sound as if they might have done some work on it at least, but Oleg wrote that in October of '09, and I can't remember seeing anything about it lately..

perhaps we should ask him or Luthier in the next update-thread?

Would be nice.

Maybe even some export to tacview would add more data for analysis after a match. This way no one could complain about "miracles"... ofcourse if that data could be made available by the server only after players exits the mission. say... if server encrypts that file and only after the mission while disconnecting it gives to the player a pass key.

Il post about it in the next update thread...of course far to late for release but maybe they will give it some thought, something for a latter patch with luck.
