Merc Headshot Indicator

[I <3 U]

Something like the CS or COD4 symbol that appears when you headshot.

[Farley4Fan]

Yeah I can't see why not.

Why not bring over the HEADSHOT guy from UT?   :D

[frvge]

What about the announcer from SCDA?


















I kid, I kid.

[Tidenburg]

Hey, the announcer was one of the few things I liked in DA. The sounds in that game were osmsauce.

[Savior20061]

What about the announcer from SCDA?

I kid, I kid.

HEADSHOT! HEADSHOT!
NICE ONE! NICE ONE!
Merc: "My God make it stop!!!"
Blows himself up..........
NICE ONE!

[Spekkio]

NO.

The dead spy is enough indication.

[I <3 U]

NO.

The dead spy is enough indication.

I dont see what harm a small symbol next to "You killed Spekkio" would do...obviously a voice indication would suck, but i dont see whats wrong with a small symbol.

[Spekkio]

The less shit cluttering my screen to distract me from shooting the other spy, the better.

[Spark Mandriller]

uh spekkio i can't really feel good about myself unless the game is constantly praising me so uh yeah i think we need an announcer

[Farley4Fan]

Oh, I see.  This is going to be one of those elitist arguments isn't it?

yer because a symbol is oh-so distracting, we're not talking about a huge piece of text that covers your screen saying "HEADSHOT" here....

[MulleDK19]

Remove the head.

we don't need a headshot indicator like some stupid css kiddies or even an announcer to make the noobs feel good when they finally get a kill. i really hope this game focuses on another target group...

[Tidenburg]

Oh, I see.  This is going to be one of those elitist arguments isn't it?

Yup, definately.

You should really look up ad hominem arguments. Saying everyone who believes X is Z is just retarded and makes you look like a douche, you haven't actually made any arguement against the point itself at all.

[Gawain]

so what exactly is the benefit of a headshot indicator?
a dead spy is a dead spy, no need to tell the world about your awesome aiming skillz.
if you add enough bullshit like that it will not only spam the hud with unnecessary stuff, it will also support/attract childish gameplay that revolves about getting headhots instead of acomplishing the objectives.
in fact i would like it more if you'd just get a message "teammate unconscious"/"tm dead" instead of a detailed version of what happened.
