I thinkg one thing that should be changed is the ease of triggering someone's name to show above their heads. It's simply to hard to see because you have to be dead on the person with your reticle for it to show up. Makes for a hard time trying to make out who you are around.

I pub alot with a few buddies and it's difficult to see who they are in game because of the small hit area for the reticle vs. player bodies.

One solution would be to allow buddy waypoints. Would help a ton in just some simple pub play with a friend or two.

Even then, It's still hard to trigger the name to come up. There should be some bigger bounding box taht surrounds the player that allows you to mouse over it and see the name, instead of the reticle being DIRECTLY on the person. Reason being is that my reticle is hardly ever directly on the damn person due to leading of weapons. Just seems like something that could be improved.

I have a harder time seeing the person's health. ALot of times, if they are above me int he air, it's nearly impossible for me to catch their health, which is a big thing for me, because it helps decide which weapon I'm going to use.

As far as using the ini, that's fine and dandy, but there are WAY too many dumbasses that couldn't figure out up from down in an ini.... sooo....
