Why cant you see with what weapons kills are made?

You can see what kind of caliber bullet killed the player, which is usually enough. Or you can open the console with tilde (~) and read the text what weapon was used.

Because in real life, you dont have ESP that can tell you what gun killed who. If you pay attention (and know your calibres), you don't need the gun indicator.

It's a game.... not real life. It's fun to see who is killed by what weapon and by whom.[tR]Mad Mac said:

Its a realism game. It models (as much as reasonably possible) realistic battlefield situations, including not knowing exactly what killed who.Verluste21 said:

It's more fun to see who is killed by what and it really does not temper any realism in conjunction with gameplay imho.[tR]Mad Mac said:

Well, granted thats your opinion. But this is the way its been, and I dont know how many people share it.
I personally, like the messages the way they are.

You can see it from pressing F1 and looking what guns they are using(only if they have not taken a weapon from ground). From my point of wiev, there is absolutelu no need for that information, it makes game much more interesting if you don't know if the guy in front of you died into a sniper bullet or to a normal rifle. Affects my game for sure.Verluste21 said:

I prefer that death messages are turned off. I wish more servers ran it this way.
Right now you can shoot off at a far off opponent and be confident you've killed him. IRL, you would be a bit more cautious before moving on or exposing yourself.

idd, that's why dbduk is my favorite server ever since the mod, they always set the deathmessages off. But alot of the time you can see if you killed him or not, but still it gives a feeling of "did I kill him or not" sometimes, especialy with a nade.

http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/member.php?u=7376, many of us would be happy if death messages were completely removed from the game, and some servers have mutators that do this.

This isn't a headshot icon (although it looks like one). It's the deafult kill icon, similar to the HL2 skull and cross bones icon. You'll see it pop up when you run someone over a tank or telefrag someone (well, not anymore since the update) because these situations do not have a specific kill icon so the default headshot-looking-ish icon gets displayed.
