Player name above their character?

[DeadlyDevil1985]

It seems after the new patch in DM servers i see the player name above their character, this is quite annoying.. how do i remove it?

[DeadlyDevil1985]

Anyone? Its fine in Betryal as you kinda need it for the pot score, but its annoying in Dm

[EggSuckingLeech]

you can't apparently. I find them annoying but but much worse - they are a giveaway to the target. You can't hide behind walls or over hills because the bubble points right to where you are. While the intent was good, it's a pretty bad loophole which changes the gameplay.

good for ONS, CTF, VCTF, GRD, BET, TDM
bad for DM

Well I like them, one of the things that made UT3 a bit sus was losing sight of your oppnent in amongst all that architecture.
This was particularly prevalent for those who play with all settings on high which made it a lot more diffucult to play against someone who has there detail settings on low.
That doesn't appear to be an issue now, it sort of balances things out and helps those with slower framerates acquire there target better as well.

It's also good against bots as well, now you know were they are as well! LOL

They are absolutely necessary for certain game types...

Yes, and the original poster only talked about DM.

And hopefully we can eventually get rid of them in all game types.

A huge HUD mod/mut is certainly called for, as the name tags are really just the tip of the iceberg.

lol....it makes it difficult to hide,it makes it difficult to run.why the hell do u play this game if u only run and camp.we dont need campers and runners go play sth else if it bothers u.the names make it easier for ppl with real skill to spot u hiding noobs.work hard and become good so u dont need to hide somewhere to snipe, kill ppl from behind or run bk and shoot rockets,flak barrels and shock cores cause ur a noob and u cant kill the other guy in a real fight.
this just ****** me off

.....yeah,who else would need thins but a noob sniper that cant kill if ppl see where he is.if ur a good sniper u show urself in battle and kill ppl while moving around and evading shots not while sitting in a corner where nobody can see u.
u ppl ruin the game

radu, UT has had sniping and camping style servers since day one. nobody is forcing you to play on that style of server, but it's nice to have the option. the era when zark was big was some of the most fun I've had in UT.

Actually, Real Snipers DO HIDE, and use there cover and concealment to take out the enemy !

I like the name tags.

I was annoyed by people with hard to see skins ... Necris for example ... quite often I oversaw them. This can't happen anymore now. Which is good. Made the game better IMO.

Real snipers do, but this is UNREAL Tournament, and that doesn't work here.

Unless of course you're on one of the aforementioned Zark servers where's it's specifically intended.

Also if you've ever played the previous UT's or tried UTComp you'll see that the enemy names are highlighted on your screen instead of pinpointing (many of) them on the map. It's the same for every other fast-paced fps game out there on PC...

first off,sry for writting so much i always get carried away ^.^

@ Bersy: well this style of playing,even if affected by name tag is still used by so many in all servers.u guys are just promoting it and of course using it everywhere else thats why i complain.i dont play tdm,dm or duel because of huge effect of pick-ups(i played maps after maps in a row and only seen some ppl always glowing cause of the belt they had) and this running and camping ****.i cant pick up the power ups cause those same ppl spin only around them and take them each time they appear in seconds ,thats their basic skill.the maps are small and kinda mazed and nobody plays fair.u wont see this in warfare, only skill wins there.but it bothers me cause it limits the possible gametypes to play.

@ Dirtyharry: just like shombowhore kindly pointed out,this isnt the real deal.u wont see a sniper bullet leaving a trail behind in reality.thats why the trail is made so that u can spot the sniper,but usually campers kill u on sight,or else u'd know where they are for the pay-bk ,so the trail does only half the job of reavealing campers...the name tag does the other half.also this isnt only about the sniper.ppl hide in small corners where they are hard to see and hit u with shock combos ,rockets or flak.the name tag makes it easier to spot them in a corner of the screen.

@Der_Schreiner and shombowhore: nice to see someones with me ^.^
