    Percentage of vote: 50.00%

  2. I want to see who he(she?) is targeting, so I can target the same enemy. (5 votes [50.00%])

  3. well, actually I don't care to ever target a friendly or see who they are targeting. (0 votes [0.00%])

Being an old school netmech, MechWarrior 2, MechWarrior 2 : Ghost Bear's Legacy and the bug-fest MechWarrior 2 : Mercenaries player, I recall the special targeting system that I think can be added to MWO's existing targeting system.

First off, I get the current system. I see how the developers created this targeting system (empty triangle means no one is targeting, you can get a spot bonus, line of sight, etc). None of this should change!

In the MW2 series, we could also target our friendlies though using a different key. This had a number of key benefits:
  • Seeing the health of a friendly (he who is hurt the worse, gets my help first).
  • Seeing who that friendly is specifically targeting (in MW2, there was a dedicated key to use that after you target a friendly, you can press, say, "Q", to target the enemy they were targeting).
Thanks!

Would be nice. Information is ammunition they say.
