    Hello brawlers!

    To start, I need to say that I'm a Ctf newbie (not really "noob"), I'm a war player, and because only ten people were on war, I decided to play some games of Capture The Flag, because it seemed fun. And yes, it was very fun^^ I did a 35 kills games on my third try, but I'm here to say something which annoyed me a little, when I'm fighting a guy with Heavy (or other strong classes), it's like "when-are-you-going-to-die! So, I want to know if a Life Indicator, like a number from 20 to 1 (player HP) on the top of the player's username can be implemented.

    Again, I'm a Ctf newbie, I don't know if this already got suggested.

    Bbye!

    I have to agree. But you cant show the any text over a players head (except if the code is doing some.... cool stuff) . The text (the healths) must be shown under the name.

    It's not with every class in ctf, but there is one for players using the medic class. It's only really for medic to show when someone needs health, the amount of time taken to kill someone is somewhat irrelevant in ctf otherwise.

    Medic is the class who can give health to other players via a sword right? In this case, of course, you need to know the other players health, but can we see the health of the other team's players? I never tested this class.

    I believe you can see the health of other players with the labymod (this is allowed on brawl). As confirmation, since I'm not 100% certain about this, @wintergreen3

    Nope, you can't, and a health indicator isn't allowed, either.

    Aside from playing medic, memorizing how many hits certain classes take to kill each other can be a good indicator of health. The only problem with that is that it starts to get hard when you factor in steak/pots.

    Why wouldn't it be allowed? seems harmless, it's not like it gives you a better chance at killing someone.

    Totally agree :/
    I always see health indicator on games like Hunger games, skywars... Why Ctf should not have it too?

    Yeah, not to mention medics have life indicators, and yeah they're medic and they need to know health, but either way they still have health indicators and they can still see the players health, and surprisingly not a lot of people use the medic for support all the time, they'll use it to capture.

    Don't use one class having an ability as a reason to add it to every class.

    Well the thing is, it does give you a better chance at killing someone. If I'm capping, I have no idea how much health an enemy ninja has. If a health indicator says it's 2, than I'd turn around and kill them. Without the indicator, I wouldn't know to fight back. That could make the difference between a cap and a death. Knowing the opponent's health changes a lot of situations in this game.

    Yeah, medics have the health indicators because they need to know when to heal people. It would be nice to have a health indicator for every class, but it would take something away from medic that made it more unique and less useless in combat then it currently is.

    If a life indicator on every classes become a Vip/Mvp/Elite special ability, is it against the EULA @wintergreen3?

    Probably not, but it's not going to become an ability on all classes since it would give a huge advantage and it's a special ability for Medic.

    Probably yes, buying a rank for a bonus above people who haven't is against eula, so yea.
