Suggestion: Remove Fireteam Hud

As it stands right now the fireteam hud gives them everything they could ever need to know

-Highlights Guerillas when aimed at them for a second/ minimap marks all enemies so the fireteam is hunting them the second they spawn

-Spotting predator goes through walls and lasts a long time

-objectives are always highlighted and far too easy to find

-Downed members are highlighted and once again too easy to find

-list goes on

So suggestion is, remove all of this. Why?
Gameplay.

-Knowing where guerillas are at all times makes fighting them too easy. you should never know what direction enemies are coming from until they are shooting at you. This is boring and makes clearing bases a cakewalk. remove it. No more minimap highlights or outlining.

-Spotting pred, especially when he is cloaked, needs to be removed. period. Spotting in general should be kept, i should be able to ping a branch. but that is all I should be able to do.

-Downed teamates should not be highlighted. You should need to find them on your own. I have multiple reasons for this, first one is, sound should be more important in game. As well as communication. This would also allow pred to bait out noises, as having very little to no info on your teamates, would make predator mimicing them all the more useful, and lead to lots of trap gameplay.
(also allow predator to drag fireteam members that are downed away.)

Basically, the only thing that the fireteam should see on their hud, is the minimap, which shows the terrain, their gear/health/ammo, and their objective markers. That is it. removing all of this info will allow more engaging gameplay.

Great ideas. I thought it was odd that the AI showed up on the mini map before being spotted. It goes against most game conventions on how and why spotting is a game function.
I think we still need icons above the FT but when they are downed it should disappear, until they call for help.

Dragging them into the bushes to skin and hang up? 😃

Agreed. I made a topic on this right before you that the AI should only show in the minimap when they are shooting. Way too easy to deal with as it is
