What a tracer should look like (before spazzing just look).

What shape is a tracer round from behind? Circular. What shape is a dot? Circular. I didn't say sphere. (Very petty too)

So you're saying that you can only see tracers that you are focusing on?

How does a 'dot' of light that is travelling across the back of your eye not leave a trail? If you're focused on it or not.

I'm not lobbying, I don't care if it's included or not, as you mentioned the current ones are quite good . It's merely an observation.

I'm actually just defending my argument.

It's a fact that the streak should always be at 180 degrees to the movement across the screen and it's length dictated by the relative speed across the screen, there is no depth involved the dot just gets smaller and dimmer. CoD sometimes breaks this rule, ever so slightly - all I was doing was trying to explain the subtle difference that some people have picked up on.

It's the constant 'you don't know what you are talking about' posts that make me want to reply.
All I need to understand is that bright light leaves a trail behind it when it moves. Then work out the path it would take relative to the camera/eye/screen.
