health bars above heads for fireteam

#1

hey all, i’ve talked about this on the subreddit and got told it was “useless” and “unneeded” so i thought i’d come here and ask everyone how they’d feel about this?

Currently when you soloq there’s not really a way to know your teammates are getting attacked if they’re not right beside you without having to look down every 5 seconds to make sure nobody is getting drained of health every 5 seconds. this change would benefit the soloq experience as it makes it easier to notice when someone is in need of some assistance.

I think there’s a time and place for health bars and shooters aren’t it

Bars at the bottom of the HUD are enough for teammates and the visual display of blood on the body is less immersion breaking than a floating bar.

No, just no. Makes the game a lot less immersive with floating health bars lmao.

there’s already a floating nameplate above the FTs head tho

But that’s fine, but it’s more for the Predator immersion instead, Fireteam can already see their health bars.

what does it have to do with predator immersion?

Just pay attention to the amount of blood FT is covered in. The more covered the closer to dying

I don’t get it, you want FT health bars to be displayed over your teammates heads instead of where they already are? Wouldn’t that be less beneficial as you would have to look in their direction instead of glancing down at your screen? Also when a teammate is getting hurt or is hurt it can heard pretty easily.

why couldn’t it be both on the bottom and displayed over their head? where in the post did i say they should replace it?

#11

I figured they would otherwise it would clutter up the HUD and have redundant info. I don’t see the need tbh.

how would a little bar on top of the nametag clutter the HUD?

#13

Mhm. So a more Cluttered Hud and now I have to look directly at them instead of Healthbars on bottom of hud then Mini map for direction all while already going off the game audio as well.

Nah I wouldn’t be mean to say its useless but its an Idea that would no benefit anyone. Also if ur teammates are far away from you while u are solo then that is a You problem

Well you already have their names highlighted in their direction, as well as the mission objectives, optional mission, AI alarms, and 3 other peoples waypoints. To add health bars that are big enough to see and small enough to fit on top of their names already being shown seems a bit much especially considering the info you’re looking for is always at the bottom of your screen.
