Marine emotes
Summary:
Emotes that can help you and others marines when in the middle of massive combat. Those emote commands will show an text overlays visible only to other closeby marines and ghosts.
Benefits:
Tired of bleeding to death on the floor and no one notices you? Battle so intense that your screams for help get left behind by combat logs? No medics around? Everyone thinks you just got stunned, while actually dying?
Not anymore, with these super simple emotes, everyone can see you and know whatever the fuck you want.
Commands such as:
*medic
*grenade
*help
*contact
*followme
...
will render an text overlay above you so everyone can see it.
(This is an example)
Implementation:
When that emote is activated, an text overlay is applied for few seconds to every marine in range so aliens can't see it.
after those few seconds have passed, you can use the emote command again, so you cannot spam it.

Re: Marine emotes
Cool idea, I would be positive on it, but should the aliens really see it? Maybe instead they should see hieroglyphs or something that doesn't make sense perhaps?

Re: Marine emotes
If aliens could see it there would be powergame aspects as an alien could target a marine shouting medic as they are most likely injured or near death, easy infection or kill.
That being said, I really do like this idea alot just due to how most marines never say much if anything when they are actually injured, and very few shout when a grenade is being thrown so yeah sure +1
On another note I would like to see something like this for aliens as well, perhaps "Weeds needed" "Help" "Infect" "Follow me" etc you get the point, that's just a throw out mini expanded suggestion onto this.

"Weeds needed" should be displayed even without user input, all the time, in bold, red letters.

This is what I think the marines would do if the medic emote was implemented.

Re: Marine emotes
Could be cool but it should be made so that only marines can read it. If Xenos are able to read it they will "magically know what it means" and focus on injured or reloading marines.
So +1 but if only marines can see it.

Re: Marine emotes
Aliens can already see injuries and when someone is reloading if they just look.
I don't think I'll personally use it a lot, but anyways +1.

Re: Marine emotes
Would be overall nice to have, obviously with anti-spam in place.
Gonna have to agree with the thing being invisible to aliens, for obvious reasons.
Sure, +1.

Re: Marine emotes
Make some for Aliens too, it's hard to know which runner is talking to you when there's a lot of them, you have to comb through numbers, and it takes too much time. +1.

Good idea in general, I'd also support similar commands for Xenos, like the ones previously suggested. "Follow me", "Weeds needed", that kind of thing.

Re: Marine emotes
The TF2 thing up here gave me an idea, we can use the icons similar to these used in TF2 instead of clogging the screen up with words, i.e. a small red cross icon for the medic emote, frag or ammo for tossing a frag or reloading, and so on.

Re: Marine emotes
We need sets of emotes both for aliens and marines. Of course, both sides shouldn't see another's emotes. That will really help in that part of game, where we don't have RP at all - combat part. Please, do this! +1

Re: Marine emotes
You mean the entire part with metagaming chucklefucks? Or rather the ENTIRE round in general from shooting yourself in cryo to shooting up Req, to shooting up survivors, to shooting up monkies, and finally to shooting up the actual threat (the Xenomorphs)?Jeser wrote:We need sets of emotes both for aliens and marines.

*Grenade should be *fire (as in fire in the hole) to include flamers. Some other good ones would be *stop for medics chasing down patients, *charge and *fallback.
