"You are the ERT leader!" more noticable

Post by Xenomorph Dominatrix » 16 Apr 2016, 03:14

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
I've been ERT leader without noticing it until much later on before, the thing when you first spawn isn't very noticable if you weren't looking out specifically for it, and from then on, the only way you are aware is if you happen to examine yourself.

It'd be better if the text notification was in big red text!

Also, it'd be good if as ERT leader they also have big text when talking like with squad leaders. A built in megaphone to their facemask could be a neat touch too.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
More leadership from ERT leaders, which would encourage more interesting ERT behavior (teamwork) than just acting like random extra players added with different gear.

I am gonna say YES times infinity. There have been many a time where I've had to stare at my screen like an idiot because I have to see if I get the little message.

Can we get it in this exact format as well?

nooooooo... I like false saying i'm leader cuz the ERT leader never notices it.

But in all seriousness +1.
The only noticable ert leading is the hat and the id. Such as mercenary wearing like a captain hat rip off or iron bear litreally wearing a bear hide on his head.

Sometimes, a "holy shit!" must be added to notify you of the gravity of being the leader of a EMERGENCY response team in which you are probably heading into hell itself and you better lead your makeshift band of mercenary gun hoe simpletons to battle.

+1 either way.
