combat / agro icon improvement..

[irl-calibre 744]

So how about when you are in combat the gun icon flashes red, when you aggro Z's it flashs the default green - when you are in combat and aggroed it flashes green and red intermittently? or, as another alternative maybe have 2 different icons? 1 combat / 1 aggro.

Remove the indicator completely instead. I hate that the icon starts flashing when an infected charges removing the surprise. I always notice that before I notice the attacking zombie. Boring! :)

I think instead of an icon to signify aggro/combat, the expression of your character's face should change. (think Doomguy face)

You obviously can't see your own face(duh), but it would be a nice little addition for when you're part of a group.

In general, the best indicator that you're in combat is the fact that you're in combat.

yeah I know what you mean, but someting when using sd ammo in regular weapons, you can't be sure if you have just gone into combat but not necessarily aggroed any other creatures when in a town and are safe to move or stay positioned..

Why would you artificially need to know this though? You will now you've aggroed when they are punching you in the face :)
