Flag Symbol

[Nightcrawler]

It's only a small suggestion but i think it would be good if, in matches like CTF, that the people with the flag get a little flag symbol next to their name when you hit F1 to bring up the scores.
I know when i'm the flagger i watch the writing up the top, watching for who has the flag, and then looking at the kill list to see when the flagger has died. This idea could also work in Rambo match, placing a little symbol of a bow next to the Rambo's name.
Any comments?

If you look at the edges of your screen, you will see that the FFC's name is colored yellow, not needed much in CTF

I love the idea in rambo match though.

[Nightcrawler]

I don't mean just for the FFC, i mean for the EFC too, so people know who exactly they are going after.

[Unlucky XIII]

Heh, I had the same kind of suggestion before (my idea only covered Rambo though). It wasn't liked too much, but it had some people who liked it. Supported.

Hmm... as an extention, maybe in the kill/death console, the flag would also be next to a flag/bow-bearer's name?

[vulbastick]

'z a good idea -  definitely for rambo

[Nightcrawler]

I didn't mean that you could see the symbol on the side of the screen, i just meant that if you hit F1 to bring up the scores, each flagger would have a flag symbol next to their name and score, just to tell everyone who has it easier.

Ya, don't see the harm.

They're your enemies, you are not meant to know anything about them without reports from a teammate. Or, check it out yourself and tell your team about it.

It really isn't necessary for rambo:  on the kill log, you will see rambo's name a lot since he has the bow - PLUS it shows the name of who has just gotten the bow at the bottom of the screen.  In addition, the only time you'll see someone die from a non-rambo weapon is when the rambo dies... so just look for that.
For ctf this could come a bit more useful...  sure why not

[jrgp]

yes, this is absolutely nesecary for both rambo and ctf and even htf.

it should solve a lot of confusion.

but there should be an option to turn it off.

[Keron Cyst]

EFC? No, no, no! That's the fun of it all (exploring the map and trying to find the enemy)

[Nightcrawler]

But it doesn't tell you where the enemy is. It just tells you who has the flag on the opposing team, that's all. You only see the flag symbol when you hit F1 to look at the scores, and it doesn't appear on the side of the screen like with team mates.

[Keron Cyst]

Well, then what really is the point of that in the first place?... In that case, I'm with Yukwunhang here.

[Jester]

I like the idea.  This way you can know if some noob has the flag so you can make sure your there to get it when they get destroyed lol.

[Nightcrawler]

Exactly. And if you know the flagger is a really good player, you could go out in pairs and hunt them down.

[Svirin Kerath]

simple and handy. *votes yea*

"They're your enemies, you are not meant to know anything about them without reports from a teammate. Or, check it out yourself and tell your team about it."

But it isn't a big secret that you need to figure out for yourself. The information is already available to you, and to everyone else. The problem, however, is that the message usually scrolls by in the chat log before you have the chance to see it. The point of the suggestion is to have easier access to this information.

I think this is a good, harmless suggestion.

[Le MeSsiE {neo}]

Bahh, the scores of players are not important to determine the winner of a match. It's only a workteam which is important for the score.

[Mr. Domino]

I like the idea.  This way you can know if some noob has the flag so you can make sure your there to get it when they get destroyed lol.

Isn't the "____ has captured the flag" messages enough? I don't see the point of additional information on the flag carrier than what is already there. If you see a Major has captured the flag, then you should be doing your "noob" rush just the same.

If someone's chat spamming, then that's a separate issue, and he should be kicked. Otherwise, you can press whatever the default button is to view the chat log real quick.

I vote this one yes, otherwise its quite confusing to tell which one of us has the bow or anything, but not the flag with ctf, sometimes in ctf you throw flag near self as a trap and when a bitch checks the list and sees that you have the flag and *woosh'* dont then its suspicious and the trap fails.
