Weapon Pictures
« on: May 12, 2007, 10:49:21 pm »
From a modder's point of view, it is extremely irritating that the pictures in the kill list show flamer if the guns shoot flames and fists if they shoot fists etc. Why on earth does the picture not relate directly to the weapon number?

I really don't know.

I wondered this myself.

I give this 100% support.

yah I dont know either. I think it should show the weapon that corresponds to its # like you said, not the bullet style

I'd say you should be able to ASSIGN a thumbnail to each condition for a kill.

All-around good with weapons that aren't long range, except in TW.
Now be careful out there, soldier.

Maybe it's harder to have to keep track of what gun shot each flame (as an example), was it the hellfire rifle or the fireblaster? That is extra information that needs to be tracked.

That being said, I still support.

But also, with the weapon pictures not being right in the kill display, it is also wrong in the kill logs. Thus, stats are wrong in the end.
