CoD Hit-Markers in Game Videos Are The Same as Hit Calling Which is as Bad As Non-Hit Taking

[TheFull9]

That is all.

[concretesnail]

Agreed.

[Shamal]

Calling your hits is as bad as not calling your hits ?

 

 

[Adolf Hamster]

always amazes me how good the memories of these youtubers are.

 

they can remember every shot they fired in every game and apply hit markers appropriately, even when you can't tell from the footage whether or not the bb found its mark.

 

meanwhile mans can't remember what, or even if, he ate for breakfast.....

[Tackle]

I'm still trying to figure out the title 

[Shamal]

Well me too. ?

[MAX DICKER]

It's where a YouTuber edits in a little graphic and a sound effect to assure the viewer that "yes, I really did hit that moving target moving through trees 40m away"

 

I utterly despise the practice.

[SBoardley]

I think calling out hit calling is the same as hit calling, which is possibly as bad as not calling your hits….?!

[Shamal]

Thanks but I known about hit markers in vids. It's the rest I'm struggling with lol.

It has been a long day though ?

I think I may be able to translate this into English:

 

Creating edited videos with sight target hit markers is as bad as shouting “You’re hit!, you’re hit, I say marshal, that chap over there is hit and is playing on” and also as bad as playing on once you have been hit & eliminated

….. and … discuss ….

[SBoardley]

It’s dross. Just don’t watch it. Simples.

I didn't believe what happened next.

 

[BigStew]

Right as a middle aged person can I just clarify. Some one shouting out take your hit is as bad as no hit takers yes? I would say it's worse as its much more common than non hit taking and can ruin a game atmosphere as the belief that the other team are not taking their hits can spread quickly. 

[Tactical Pith Helmet]

Silly practice in a way, but one does have the choice to watch or not to watch.   

 

Hit calling at games is something that blights the sport whatever you choose to do after initially choosing to attend.  It is hard to ignore and impossible to choose not to hear.  

 

I enjoy the odd Gamble vid, but I avoid this kind of viewing in general.  

[Skara]

Clickbait over 9000!

Novritsch, is that you?

Master Race snipers can tell that their BB really hit the target even when you can clearly see it swerving off into the wide blue yonder.

 

Warning: contains extremist content, and a giant throbbing dick.

The title makes less sense than I do after a few tequilas but someone has already beat me to posting a video of Sir Cuntly and his magic sniper hits. The only airsoft player who seems to have an infinite range, perfect accuracy sniper rifle, not affected by environment or weather.

Its not helped if players don't follow the "country code" ?

that's true.

 

on the one hand, they are just responding to the audience, sadly "airsoft fights and flipouts compilation #420; cheetar shot in the ballz with crazy 500fps sniper (instant karma) (super painful) (he regretted it)" is gonna get you more views than "yeah went and played airsoft, it was fun playing but the footage doesn't really show it that well". it's drama dressed up as actual gameplay.

 

seems to be a human thing, i mean if you look at regular television we could put anything on there and yet we so often choose to have violence and murder.

True, but that's exactly the problem: too many folk on site on most days who aren't really there to play airsoft to the same set of common trust and respect based rules as the rest of us.

 

And it becomes more of a problem when they publicise and encourage that behaviour.

 

I'm both glad and sad to see more sites starting to take a dimmer view of filming.  The turds have fouled that punch bowl for everybody.

it's a vicious cycle. they start out just uploading normal gameplay videos, at some point they encounter some natural conflict and upload it, video goes big, they see that ad money roll in and want more, so they start seeking out, or generating conflict to keep the clickbait rolling.

that's a tricky one, for sure the game has that behavior occurring naturally, just part of it being a sport played by humans, certainly it doesn't make for good pr making it seem more common than it is.

 

one thing i don't like is the whole business of promoting the use of pain as some sort of macho proving/karma delivery system, the idea that intentionally trying to hurt people more than necessary is an acceptable practice. yes bb hits will sting, it is an unavoidable side effect of having pews with a usable effective range, but that doesn't mean it's some kind of character flaw to dislike it and not want people intentionally aiming for sensitive areas or sending excessive amounts of plastic in the name of "correcting" some perceived injustice.
