Have you experienced no kill notification?

The nametags are no problem imho, since it's for a very short range, and IRL you'd probably be able to identify close by comrades by knowing where they were, seeing them, or just some chatter. Short-range nametags is the best way to simulate the situational awareness we have in the real world..aktionman said:

Several times when i'm playing WITH death messages on I wont be able to see who killed me. One of 2 things will happen.
1. Nothing shows up at all, top right or in console.
2. My name shows up but no one in front of it (it looks like i shot myself), in the console however, it says that I was killed by "someone".
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a bug or intentional?

I like playing with DM's off and I dislike playing with them on after playing them off for three months, nice to know Jagd server has them off maybe I'll stop by there and place when I get a chance.

Yes, but together with death messages - e.g. when your nametagged buddy goes over the top and a DM appears "Enemy shot Buddy" - you have an awareness of the enemy's whereabouts that you would not have IRL.
There are many instances where you can figure out stuff on the battlefield simply by looking at the nametags, death messages and scoreboard (which also tells you who has what weapon) - information you would not otherwise have.

I think I prefer it on, but I like both ways. Though I do think if this option is enabled the score update should be delayed, just by 10 seconds or so. So people can't just whip it out (kinky) and see if they got a kill right after the shot.

The thing with no death messages though, is that if you really want to know if you just got the kill, you can pull up the scorebaord quick and check our your score. If you remember what it was everytime you check it you'll know whether or not you got the kill.
To make no death messages work better, they need to revamp the scoring system to where you don't get any points for taking out an enemy soldier, and just points for working with your team.

i love having death messages off. the only problem, as stated earlier is that you can always check your score to confirm a kill. i think that DM_onDeath or DM_none should also block score viewing unless you're waiting to spawn. Can someone make a mutator for this?
