Well I was reading through this thread and it got me thinking, Wouldn't it be great if there was no scoreboard and no global kill indication?

Here is my thinking. A spy dies while in your FOV, "a spy has been killed". This way you don't know that they are dead and you can stop chasing them, but it doesn't tell you who it was so you will never know if a spy used up all his lives. This emphasises teamwork, you should let your partner know if you killed the spy or even if he killed you since there wont be text to inform him.

Also, since mines and other traps will often times kill a careless spy while the merc isn't present, removing/destroying a mine will have more tactical significance. More creative misdirection can be achieved with a system like this.

My $0.02..............Thoughts?

If i have my way, this is exactly how we would do it...

but naked. SEXY TIME!!!!

At the very least this should be a serverside option. Also the nudity.

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

Please no.

I concur. It will add an interesting, but simple edge to the game.

Make nude skins that are unlockable.....shock value.
