Here’s an unfortunate scenario: You are taking part in an elimination-style match and you have just been killed. What is there to do next? Do you stare at the sky for the next 10 minutes or should the game kick you out to the menu?
H1Z1 has come up with a different solution for King of the Kill, which is a new team follow camera that allows spectral players to attach themselves to group members who are still alive (but not the enemy, of course). That way you can at least be entertained and informed, even if you are completely powerless to do anything more about it.
This week’s H1Z1 patch has several other changes and features than the team follow cam, including degrading vehicle performance when it takes damage, better hit feedback, arena optimizations, a nerf to the magnum pistols, and easier to see ammo boxes and grenades.
The team also reports that it has added more east coast servers, which should improve performance and latency to those connecting in that area.
