    When i get struck by a blind grenade or a emp i still can see the nametag and i shoot the nametag and i kill the person, so i think it would be fixed by making the blindness affects not showable to tags, idk if this would work but give then blindness 100 or something so you cant know where they are at all.

    This is minecraft mechanics, if you are blinded you can still see the nametag behind walls. But, if you want this implemented, do you really want to completely screw over everyone who gets EMPed, and completely unbalance infect? The only defence anyone has for those 15 seconds where they were blind is seeing the nametags behind the wall then spraying in that direction. Without this , you just can spray and pray, with no way of knowing where the people are. Being EMPed is hard enough already, this makes it a near guaranteed death. -1

    I believe the seeing of nametags was intentional, otherwise it would be nearly impossible to survive an EMP or flashbang.

    Not necessarily intentional, this is just a part of the blindness effect in vanilla minecraft. Changing this isn't really necessary because it would only cause a lot of work and probably trouble, while EMP is already effective because you can only see nametags if you are looking at a wall from ~3 blocks.

    EMPs are wrong in this game in the first place. :stuck_out_tongue:
    1. EMPs are Electro-Magnetic Pulses. They do not blind you. A more realistic purpose for these would be to make the enemy guns stop working for 15 seconds, but really, that shouldn't happen. They halt electrical signals.
    2. EMPs just plain make infect unfair. :stuck_out_tongue:
    Flashbangs are okay tho, because blinding is as close to an equivalent as a real Flashbang-Grenade effect.

    After my opinion we should not be able to see nametags at all. And one thing to remember: Blindness effect does not increase with levels. Blindness 100 does the same thing as blindness 1. (Mixing blindness with night vision, though, ends up in a 100% blindness where you can't see anything.)

    We'll like @Elkus said a emp should only make your gun stop working for 15 seconds that is correct also flash bangs are supposed to make you ears hurt badly

    This would really unbalance infection, sounds to op and unnecessary to me (agreeing with what @froggerz4 said).
