I don't know about you, but it happens to me and people I play with quite frequently.

You know that situation when you get the drop on a person, and then it lags or chops briefly, and all the sudden, boom, your dead. And you have no idea how. All it says is "dude killed other dude". Only way to tell is load it up in Theater mode later on, and who wants that interrupting their matchmaking time?

It's not a huge deal, but it can get annoying.

I'd like to see in Reach multiplayer some kind of extra information when a person kills you.
Games like CoD use that KillCam so you see what your enemy sees the few seconds he kills you. Now they probably shouldn't rip that off directly, not really Bungie's style.
But perhaps a clever variation? Or some other ingenious method of clearly displaying how you died without having to dip out of the flow of the game?

Methinks this would make matchmaking a few percent less annoying.

I agree, i have always liked COD's killcam feature. But as you said, it can't be an rip off.

Maybe make it optional to turn killcam on before the game starts.

Alas, the power of reading. You all inspire me, really.

I said something LIKE the killcam. Something, ANYTHING that gives the dead person more info during the match of how they just mysteriously died.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

How about, during your respawn time, it plays a replay of you dieing in third person. That way you can figure out how you died without giving away the other persons position.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

NO KILLCAMS!

Besides, you want to know how you died, it says:

Dude killed other dude.
Dude lazer other dude.
Dude sniped other dude.
Dude beatdown other dude.
Dude splattered other dude.

Etc. If you don't know what he killed you with, like say a grenade or his BR, then you go into theatre. But Killcams just ruin the game. Oh, he was hiding, I didn't see him when he killed me, so killcam points out exactally where he is to me. Awesome, now I can go and screw him over.

Killcams make camping literally impossible. Yes camping is annoying, but it is a legitimate part of Halo. Not all of it is run and gun.
