Names and Tactical View

[Giuliano]

I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet so I thought I'd just throw in an idea.

Basically, player names in game are very intrusive. They block your vision, can ruin shots etc etc. The only way you can get rid of them is by turning off the HUD completely, which is great for a little while but then you eventually need to see whats going on. Whether its checking the map or seeing who've you've killed or whatever. Also, knowing who you're playing with is also nice.

What I'm suggesting is adding player names to the tactical view button, as an option of course. Player names remain invisible until you press T so you can see who is around you only when you really feel the need to.

It is a server setting I believe.

I'm talking about the player names as a whole, whether or not the sever is using the "only show up close" or the "show at all distances" settings. The idea I'm proposing means you just have to press the tactical view button to toggle player names regardless of the server setting.

Totally agreed. The tac view exists to remove clutter when in normal view, so to add this (as an option) makes total sense to me.

Player names are nothing, its the

plastered across the center of the screen that bothers me

What happened to a blinking map in the corner letting you know something is going on instead?
