“I literally couldn’t have done anything!” Have those people actually thought about NOT GETTING IN THAT SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE

    I think the reason is because people don’t like to be insta killed by something they couldn’t possibly have noticed.

    Have you tried looking at it from their perspective? Like you getting sniped out of nowhere when trying to get to your good spot?

      Yes and I an of course annoyed, but I don’t think it’s fair to reveal their spot. I already have enough advantage, because I know where they roughly are.

      But usually in those games they use the sniper as a shotgun, because everything else is useless

      Yes, I have. And there are better ways of doing it.

      You could, in example, show a directional cone of where the shot came from on death. It tells you something, but not everything.

      Planetside 2, and similar, gives you literal wall hacks for 20 seconds. I play with friends often, so when one of us dies we end up describing the player’s exact movements post-death without even thinking. That’s completely broken.
