ADv Targeting but is it really?

I think aswell as showing the health it should have a armour bar too. Just a quick simple idea I would like

It'd be nice if I could see friendly armor levels just by looking at them too.

Your title should read "Is advanced targetting really advanced?"

Then engineers could tell who needed repairing much easier making their job more worthwhile

It's not "Advanced Targeting" sillies, it's "Enhanced Targeting."

It should only be seen if you meet two requirements:

You have the implant active and you have CE or basic engy.

I think friendlies armor should be able to be viewed by everyone, and then toggleable of course. Your health is, why not armor?

I also think enemy armor should be visible, but only with adv targeting on.

It's not adv! >< It could only be advanced if there was a base, which there isn't.

Yes, it is advanced. There is a basic, but there is no need for an implant. The basic is your own ability to see and fire upon the enemy. Adv targeting just gives you a bit more details. If you don't believe me:

See one thing i dont understand is it is ADVANCED targeting. Cause without it all you have is regular targeting which is just the enemys name. SO yeah w/e the devs want go's

Gee, I wonder why they named it Enhanced Targeting then.

dscytherulez · 2004-03-05, 12:05 AM

Since when is it named enhanced targeting?

Its advanced targeting now. But what was it before the changed it several months ago? Theyve change, or tweaked, the names of two implants that i can remember, vaguely, in like the last 6 months.

dscytherulez · 2004-03-05, 12:35 AM

It has always been adv targeting. It's even in the manual.

Wtf is wrong with you people? Where do you get this stuff?

Ait'al · 2004-03-05, 01:10 AM

I know they changed or talked about changing regens name. and there was another one that they took off a word from the name because everyone always called it by the smaller name. I thought it was what is now known as Advanced Targeting.

Deadlock · 2004-03-05, 01:15 AM

in the last patch, or perhaps the one before, advanced targeting and advanced regeneration were changed... they said it was a minor change just to correct their grammer or some shit like that

... personally i could think of better ways soe could be spending their time
