So I played a game without UI. Holy crap it was hard, still managed 3 kills, though.


But that got me thinking. I had to identify mechs before opening fire. Basically that meant shooting those who shoot me. Or shooting what friendlies are shooting.

Could be a game mode next time /shurg

If the screens worked, then this would be awesome.

Unless you were in a mech which made use of it's arm articulation. Then it blows.

Yeah, I was in my DDC. Good thing I was using LLs, so it was easy to trace my target. But, yeah if we had UI but no friendly or enemy symbols, that would make this game way more tactical.

We'll probably get passive mode eventually which is sort of like this.

we'd have to paint mechs in unit colors for I:)

Would make color scheme really important

Heh, had the same last night only got 1 kill 5 assist but in that situation its don't fire till fired upon. Or know who has fired on ppl I know are teammates.

EDIT: Had it one time, on rivercity night, with hud but no target didn't realize it till I killed a friendly Awesome. Still had 2 enemy kills, in fact only death on our team was said Awesome.

I've had some surprisingly good games when that bug's popped up. I usually follow a teammate and follow their lead on targets. If I'm missing my targeting reticles, I tap C constantly and use my lasers to guide ballistics. You certainly concentrate more on where shots are going, that's for sure.

[The Cheese]

The worst part of it isn't the lack of IFF or even targeting reticules. It's the lack of a map that really does the damage.

Don't give them ideas.

There is a single, dark, lonely pixel that's still visible even when the HUDs gone. It's visible on bright maps, but on the darker ones you might not be able to see it.
