Since many people hate tracers, why not have an indicator that shows if the person used a tracer? I think this is a great idea, but also somewhat bad because if the indicator was shown, then there'd probably be a fight or something. What do you think?
So what you thinking of as an indicator, somethink like a little sign. Exarmple- a little tracer sign above there tank. Or a massive skull and cross bonez with cheater written acroos is pops up on the screen lol. But i had an ideia like its fine if someone whats to use a tracer but mabe if they use one they should have a penalty for it e.g 1. in DM+FFA if you use a tracer then you will miss your next shot and still take dmg or the dmg done by useing the tracer will be reduced by half the normal dmg. 2. in a 1v1-2v2-3v3 pts game just have the reduced dmg opition for useing a tracer.
Tracer just should of not even been put in the game, but thats just my opion. Surpplies im ok with becouse there a desprite option for some people when low on decent/half decent weps. But tracers and shileds i think you u need to use them witch in my opion and again then you should have a penalty becouse its and un fair advarntige. Ialso have another idea mabe to reduce the amout of tracers and shiled being used then i rekcon they should stop being put in the random droped box's and should be purchesd but not trough tank coins either i mean you would have to purches them on there own. Just an idea.
Or just a little dotted line under the thing, that's like "Agent60 did 340 with Hellfire". A little dotted line under that particular line would show if I used a tracer.
I suggested this in a thread a while ago. http://shellshockliveforums.com/index.php?threads/tracer.860/#post-16594
Maybe the tracer line should just be visible to all the players. I don't mind it. Sometimes, during high wind, I need see how the shot would be angled and work with the wind factor. It helps eliminate a variable for me and I get to make a better decision on angle.
Sometimes on a 3v3 and you get screwed sticking to the ricochet wall (that one middle guy simply chooses to not use that pre-game move) and then plummeted into a narrow hole. You have the wall and wind to deal with. Maybe even a new shot you've not used too much. It can be useful to some people. Although, I guess I use my tracers less than anything...it'd be nice if I can trade them for some other item. I find myself needing jetpacks most of all.
