Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): basically, with the cloning removal update,i feel a change should be made to the medhud, so if a persons "Defib timer" isnt up yet, medics may try defibbing
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
makes medics life a tad easier again.
people who can get revived are more likely to be.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
basically, a dead guy gets the skull icon within a few seconds, but theres nothing to differentiate whos been dead 30 minutes and whos been dead 1
So, i suggest, if the "timer" has not yet expired, they get a seperate icon, for example a lightning bolt, or a D symbol.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): N/A.

Re: Medhud changes
This is kinda already a thing, if they have a cross as their health still, even if their bar is completely black, they can be defibbed.
As soon as their health moves to a "skull", they are dead.

Re: Medhud changes
+1 It would defibbing easier since you can tell at a glance who can be brought back.
Troublesome, as usual.

+1 As it saves on medical supplies and defib charges before even trying, if you knew the person is braindead at a glance.

Re: Medhud changes
+1, you can back this up with necrotic analyzis of the tissues or something by the medhud (Perhaps it did a quick infra-ray scan of the temperature of the body and found out, who knows).
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.
