Idiot lights :(

Well, that's what I've decided to call them anyway.

All the stuff they have decided to plaster all over my screen in this new game.

I finally got to the team deathmatch portion of the SP ladder, and what do you know, more lights! Geeez!

Now my teammates not only have the ugly, unneeded triangles of their heads, but now everybody also has 2 more little lights hovering over each shoulder? ? ? (2 red lights for red players, 2 blue lights for blue)

And they, like the triangles, aren't even attached to the player. They just hover there. Gawd I hate that.

I mean, what's the point of team colored skins, if you are going to plaster triangles and lights all over the screen. What's next, great big neon flashing arrows over everybodys head shouting "ENEMY HERE!!".

And the same thing applies to the BasePath 1 and BasePath 0 keys. More lights I don't need. Same as the radar for CTF at top of your screen showing way to the base. Even more lights I don't need.

Love the game, HATE all the extra crap on my screen.

I like to get in the game, pretend I'm actually there. It's fun. But with all this extra crap on my screen it really hurts that effect. The basic HUD itself, with health, ammo and score is all I want, I've gotten used to that. But even that I minimize as much as I can.

What bugs me is not that these folks decided to add them, but that they have given me no option to turn it all off! Make it STOP!! Somewhere inbetween all that crap the game is going on.

Just like the dashboard lights on my car - if you know what you're doing, you don't need them - idiot lights.

ARRGGHHH!!!!

NOTE to LoQ; Hey LoQ, I figured out the animation thing.

Now all I need is the model and a blade!

Sometimes it seems these team lights and triangles aren't enough for online games...
Played some Team DeathMatches on Demo Servers and often there where some teammates who were shooting everyone even their own teammates with their team lights and triangles, and they don't recognize when you tell them: TEAM deathmatch...

Either they are really really bloody noobs or there are much players out threre who are color-blind.

Well they are kind of helpfull only because some of the maps are dark and thus its hard to tell your team members as thier skins are too hard to see. I would rather have one or the other and the option to turn them off.
