What a tracer should look like (before spazzing just look).

In the game, the tracers are moving faster then this, the FPS is WAY to high on COD, the tracers in this video are moving at a healthy pace, but nothing as fast as COD. play the game and watch how fast the bullet's are traveling. Their moving twice as fast as these.The rate of fire is also way to high, either that or there is literally a tracer in every round.

Also, notice on your video how the tracers go out and appear to hang for a moment and then begin to drop? COD does none of this. There is no arcing round or glowing ball. You cant see any tracers floating in the distance. They literally go out like lasers and vanish before your eyes. If the game tracers looked like this and had these characteristics, I would be happy. However they are a far cry from looking like this video.
Also, who the hell thought to use white tracers as default? White tracers? com one on.... no one uses white tracers.

hang on hang on, let's get things straight here, I think you're making a bit of confusion.

The ones you see in the videos are tracers from a naval .50cal (M2HB), which has a variable rate of 450–635 rounds/min, less than half of an RAF spec version, which had 1200 rounds/min.

Muzzle velocity of the .50cal is 2,910 ft/s (890 m/s), the RAF spec .30cal was around 800 m/s, so it's a slightly slower bullet, but the rate of fire is twice as fast.

As for the colours, if memory serves the RAF used white incendiary/tracers, but I'm trying to look for the info source on this.

No amount of postings of videos of night shot tracer videos have any bearing on CloD tracer effects.
These videos show how tracer can look to a camera at night
The tracers in the game are trying to simulate how a tracer looks to the eye during daylight.
There is simply no comparison.

What I'm trying to say is that,based on my real life experience (read above),this video is the closest rendition to what it looks like when looking at it with MkI Eyeball.

With all due respect,I think people could express an opinion on this matter ONLY if they saw tracers in real life. Lying about it is just silly and counterproductive me thinks.
