Marine Job description in HUD

Post by Omsomething » 10 Dec 2016, 15:41

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
-Job Icon for all marines in Marine Vision HUD

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
-Could be it is just my red/green colorblindness but way too often i literally lose SL to a mess of mariens and am very slow to follow as SL is usually too busy to give waypoints.
-Increased coordination of marines leads to better gameplay leads to more roleplay and fun instead of running around blindly.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
-It would make marines be able to see what others jobs are and who to follow more easily, making them be more receptive to actual squad tactics.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
-Just add icon for each marine type/squad and then have each marine locker have goggles which see them.

maybe not exactly this, but this is a problem that should be addressed.

-1 There's not much of a reason for other Marines to check what role another player planetside.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

+1, roles are not visible enough. In reality I'd be able to notice their patches/markings/etc from half the building away. In CM, I have to look for these 4 pixels making them unique or shift-click everyone.

except there is....knowing who is what roles and how many you have of a certain role can make or break a round sometimes.It's also useful when you want to find your SL,engi,medic or spec in the middle of the firefight
