| Probably one feature I miss seeing, that might not be completely obvious, is the 'gun camera' feature in some of the MMO Flightsims. Strictly speaking, it DID get copied (a number of such MMO flightsims directly copied Air Warrior's design), but that feature never seems to have made the jump into other types of MMO games. Essentially, the 'gun camera' allowed the player to record his actions and created a file that permitted the player to play it back in-game. Later versions also permitted the camera to be shifted to the point of view of other aircraft or vehicles that were in the vicinity. The types of films I see people create for games such as Warcraft by using third-party tools seem to have much larger file sizes with less functionality.
Of course, if a superior tool actually exists in one of the multiplayer RPG's and I'm merely unaware, I'm sure a helpful poster will mention it.
