    Basically, rather than blinding the entire enemy team and making it impossible to battle, why can't we just simply disable the enemy team's name tag vision for the team that got EMPed. We could use either the dot (.) or the same icon as Minestrike. This would really make up for it.

    There's no point since you can just shoot the guys with the opposite armor.

    Yeah but nametags don't have the same effect in the two games, even with no names like a map in Dome you can still see the players easly.

    With a decreased player count to something like 16vs16, I have to disagree.

    8 players are pretty easy to spot, 4 much harder.

    Its a great idea about changing the name tags, but, when I'm out there on the field, I don't look at name tags whats so ever. If I see a guy with the opposite color, (except ffa, oic, and gungame obv.) I shoot it. Therefore, EMPs will completely be useless in game (for me).

    Who said the game is supposed to be like Battlefield and not Call of Duty?
    The EMP effect disrupts player's map and some other things that aren't really featured in Mc-War. Disabling radar is one of them, with that being said, it will make it more realistic than "blinding the entire team for no apparent reason" and actually match with Call of Duty. It is like that in MW3 :V
    And Mc-War is partially based on it.

    Makes sense since in CoD all EMP does is disable your minimap and electronics. It still lets you keep your vision. Disabling names through walls is kind of the equivalent to taking your minimap away in CoD.

    Actually, you get briefly blinded. No idea why, I didn't even know.
    Like, the EMP flashes you for some reason, but it does it for everyone.
    I guess the EMP flash time could be shortened, but still, not being able to see enemy nametags is useless, especially since you can't tell whose team people are on anyways from nametags since 1.8 kinda broke it.

    It blinds you because of the explosion in the air that causes the emp. IIRC both teams get blinded briefly
    And if spawns werent staticly defined then I think it would mean more to take nametags away. But since you always spawn in one general area then you always have a general idea where the enemy is and you never have to be completely aware like call of duty.
    Then again if you can see nametags through walls and your enemy cant then that gives you a HUGE advantage since you have the opportunity to prefire them and you have time to prepare yourself to reac to them coming to you. Kind of like having wallhacks in CSGO

    Well then.
    As for your last paragraph, you can still visually see enemies. I really just rely on my eye to spot the opposite armor; I don't usually search for nametags. And it wouldn't be useful in infected, the one gamemode where thousands of EMPs are launched.

    Yea it would only really help a lot where theres maps with choke points and a lot of inside places to give you opportunities to prefire if you could see them through walls.
    And IMO infected on CoD only had the MOAB killstreak enabled so the same should happen for the adaptation (even if EMP was enabled on infected it wouldnt affect the zombies besides putting a little static on their screen)
