Time on HUD
« on: July 06, 2006, 02:02:09 am »
I suggest that the time of a map be viewable on the HUD/main interface. For two reasons:
1.  So we don't have to press F1 to access the time,
2.  Many new players seem to be oblivious to the fact that the game ends after a certain amount of time.

Side suggestion: When it is the final minute of the game I think it would be nice if the time shows tenths of a second (e.g. 14.4)

I think there should be a countdown too.

Meh.  It tells you on the console how much time is left every five minutes, but hey, I'm all for it.

Great suggestion. It would give me a good idea of how long the match is going to be, because ctf_Run is my favorite map and I hate it when the match ends because that map's the best. ;_;
