Hit indicators

[Joe]

Hi i just watched the video of Higby playing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=017I9ghLsYA

and i noticed there was no hit indicator that i could see, i hope there is one a visual and a small audio indicator would be good.

Like in COD4 where it would give little grey lines in the cross hair and a small tick sound.

It could be that i missed them.... or that Higby just misses all the time he is a smurf after all

I know I saw hit indicators in the E3 videos exactly like they are in CoD. Might only do it on certain weapons or they could have removed them.

I liked MAG's system: the little X ala CoD with a "plink" audio byte for successful head shots.

hard to see it but there is a grey indicator around his cross hairs

watch at 27:30 and look really hard

i see what you mean its like a grey circle in the cross-hairs that must be it

I'd rather there not be hit indicators. If there's gonna camouflage (even if its only partial), I just don't think there should be a magic indicator that tells if you hit a well hidden infiltrator versus a rock or shadows. Maybe it's just my preference.

The camo isn't really meant to be usable so much as cool cosmetic touches. After all as it stands, you can just spot someone if aiming at them anyways.

Would be cool though if you could through certs or something gain access to a cloaking suit that doesn't allow you to be spotted.

I can't point out speciffic times, but I did see him hit and little circles appeared very quickly similar to the "x"

Yep there are indeed circular on hit indicators, though the light yellow coloring and low opacity makes them a bit hard to see. I hope they bump them up a tad. Do I recall correctly that UI modding will be supported in PS2?

I dont think we need hit indicators this isn't COD its fairly easy to judge a hit and there is enough information given if you lose a fire fight to know if you caused your foe damage and where etc.

Also I hope they allow for manual reloading because I know most snipers are going to get annoyed they cant see their bullet hit because of the reload animation

Looks like the poor quality of the stream is making it hard to see, but it is still there.

Why would we want that? You shouldn't be able to look for people by spraying
