Even though there are already mods to show ammo reserve of team mates. I believe it should be added natively to the game.
It really does promote more healthy team play in knowing when to share and take without having to ask everytime in chat/VoIP in the heat of the moments.
All other mods I could live without. But this has been most useful to keep mission flow up without people hesitating knowing when to share.
It obviously will benefit Xbox players who don’t have ability to add mods.
It is huge. If the Vet is say at 55% ammo (50% is when the ammo bar turns yellow, right?) if I have the the mod to show ammo counts, I know that they need it more than I do. If I didn’t have the mod I would think that I’m fine to take the ammo.
I try to look at team ammo colors when taking or pinging ammo but ill admit it feels like i am in the vast minority there. A real ammo counter readout would be nice
ammo counts are shown as colors, which is easier to quickly parse than numbers which vary wildly from weapon to weapon. yellow’s under half maximum, orange under 25%, and red is out of ammo. they already have this.
Last I remember numeric UI has numbers, but also changes color based on the requisites you mentioned. It is a much better system than the one in the game currently.
i don’t see how that makes it better, unless your idea of better is “really, they should be able to struggle by with 12% ammo for a whole more and i’d like to top off”. it’s not really a place where granularity matters in any way.
I wouldn’t say “no” to numbers being part of the base hud, but the colours work well for me. People in my games rarely even get to orange, let alone red.
If everyone is in the white and people are holding up to see who picks up a given ammo pack, you’re all thinking about it too hard.
