Question about death messages

[DirtyRat]

On balance I prefer DM being on, I like to know how I am doing...but I'd also be fine with them being delayed or whatever, otherwise I'll just end up checking the scoreboard to see if I'm actually hitting anything

I do like the realism setting as well, but I think that's better for clan matches.

This is how you determine if you're doing well without DM. Your team wins.

Not having DMs will encourage people not to camp for points when they should be attacking.

Guess we'll see how the delayed DMs will play out.

DM's and no DM's each have their place.

During intense quality opponent vs quality opponent matches, I like the intensity and uncertainty that no DM's brings. However, for a quick fun game among friends and to just hop on for an enjoyable evening, DM's are a lot less stressful. And it is always, always (I don't care which team your on) a kick in the pants when someone nails 4 or more enemy with one grenade and the DM's alert everyone to the fact.

Just make them a server side and client side option. If the server has no DM's and you want DM's, go somewhere else. If there are DM's and you don't want DM's, turn them off. Lots of win for everyone!

Client-side adjustment only please. If people want to pretend they are really in war let them, but the rest of us like to keep our games (even the "realism" ones) fun.

You are absolutely right. I hope they make bullet drop and flight time client side options too. Along with the whole one rifle round to the chest kills thing and lack of Phaser pistols. Stupid boring "realism."

there is a reason why TWI is going for one more and one less realistic mode. Don't whine if you don't like both of them. You are only allowed to whine if you like none of them...
