Death Replay

[KingMonk]

If this is just a replay bug then i'll change my way of looking at it but i swear every damn death replay looks like the person has recoil cheats. I'll die to any AR and 99% of the time when i watch the replay their gun's recoil is inhuman.

I've been playing FPS games all my life and can say very confidently that this recoil in the death cams is just unnatural. Every bullet fired shoots the sight up slightly and then it is immediately pulling down perfectly to the initial placement. These people are beaming head glitches and one clipping multiple people from 50+ metres away with none to few attachments and i just don't know how it'd be possible without external help or you're the top 0.1% of players. Again if it's just a bug then i'll quit my complaining from here on.

Is this a bug, cheats, am i missing something in gun-play or is this something else entirely?

They say the replay is inaccurate. I have no clue what isn't inaccurate with this game.

The game has a very poor death cam implementation, therefore quick view angle changes WILL NOT be shown accurately in the deathcam, in deathcam it might look like the person in the deathcam is using an aimbot, or that the recoil is being controlled by a script.
In the past i was starting to believe too that the whole game was just infested with a bunch of cheaters.
But thanks to the devs, not adding any warning or reminder that tells you not to report those people you see in the deathcam, i can only imagine the sheer amount of false reports "Krafton Inc." receives due to their lack of information on the capabilities of the deathcam.
Honestly, i really think that this is a bigger problem, than people are usually talking about.
In my opinion the devs should either rework the deathcam entirely or remove it from the game, because most people exclusively use it to determine if their killer was a cheater...

That being said, here is a video with the correct timestamp, where a streamer is talking about that topic! He also shows you a direct comparison from the original streamers view and the deathcam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4G2Q-NxaVM&t=446s

All information is sent to the replay they work...no where does Krafton say they aren't....proof krafton said it or it didn't happen...

PROOF I'm correct

Don't listen to anyone replay's work...the game companies and their paid shills in forums are covering up for massive cheating because the majority of gamers are okay with cheating..survey's show 60-80% are okay with it and even at the game developer conference they said a one size fits all banning policy can hurt a community arguing in favor of cheaters...anti-cheat companies literally were defending them for profits.

Proof I'm right about replays.

You got strong opinions for someone with a cheater like steam profile :D

Teamkiller profile..7 day team kill bans cheaters only receive 3 day temp bans! Find me a NEW PROFILE that shows a VAC BAN on it...and why did they merge GAME, VAC and ECONOMY DAYS "days since last ban" so they don't show individually anymore and added ECONOMY and GAME bans to the VAC LIST website which should only be for VAC? Why can't you find any VAC ban accounts in 3+ years only game and economy bans?

Also if I was a "cheater" that would be a "cheater" snitching on other cheaters wouldn't it be? Because I gave proof REPLAYS DO WORK!

Replay match data is re-constructed using the data points that the game producers during the match. It's not a 1:1 video recording at all.

You can prove this yourself by watching rag-doll effects. The game records that a rag-doll action occurs, but each time you replay a player rag-dolling, it's a different animation.

I think it does a pretty good job all things considering.

However, there's some limitations as per what those have noted above. The regular player isn't going to be aware of these and will think instantly that they are being cheated if they don't understand what those limitations are. Even experienced users of the replay can get false positives from time to time due to the way it works.

Krafton could do more to tighten the replay function and make it better.

A small thing I'd like to see is the markers players put down in live matches also show up on the replay. It would help me know if they are putting down a marker for unseen enemies for their team mates to notice.

It's far from broken or totally useless. Krafton have reporting from it for both aim locking onto targets (aimbot) and no recoil. If it wasn't useful it would have been removed as a reporting option long ago. Both of these can come through on the replay, but it does make it hard to tell from legit players sometimes. Only the most blatant/obvious ones really show up, which means that a lot that are likely using cheats get missed.
