[Joe Mallad]

What i mean is... lets say I just killed an enemy mech. What do i see flash up on the screen? I see... Yoseful Mallad killed Planetside. (just threw Planetside in there as a made up name) And thats it... no explanation to how i killed him. I may have sniped an enemy from across the board but had no real idea of what i hit and how i killed him. Let me know how i did it lol

Anyway... how about when i kill an enemy I see instead...
Yoseful Mallad killed Planetside (center torso) or
Yoseful Mallad killed Planetside (head shot) or
Yoseful Mallad Killed Planetside (legged) or
Yoseful Mallad killed Planetside (left torso) and obviously if you get a message that you killed someone from a side torso shot, you would know they had an XL engine there.

And if someone kills themselves or something like an ammo explosion or an engine overheating killed them... lets see it instead of Yoseful Mallad killed Yoseful Mallad. Yeah we all get that part... lets know what killed us and or why we died.

I was going to come in here and be all like "NO, KILLCAMS ARE STUPID", but this is a really good idea. It would give new players feedback on how they can improve by TELLING them directly "you died because you forgot to shield your side torso!".

I think your suggestion is a little bit rudimentary and could use work, but I like the general premise. +1

Also would be a good idea to say what weapon you were killed by, that or a damage done to YOU screen showing what exactly you take the most damage from.

OP's Idea is really good. Add the wapon doing the final damage, and it's perfect
