Personalised colour name tags

Recommended Posts

I'm getting annoyed at the fact that when I join a server, I have no way of knowing if I have met people in there before.

I dont know if they are bandits, friendlys or unknown to me, I have no idea!

I was thinking of possible solutions to this, see what you think.

Getting a clear look at a players face, lets say 5 seconds at a range of 25m or less (or at large range with scope or binocs) will result in you being able to change the colour of the players HUD nametag to red, yellow, green and purple. (New possible item, face mask?) This will be remembered on server side profile.

Any time you see a player who you have previously "remembered" from any range, they will have their "Survivor" tag in that colour when you see them but no name.

In order to get names from players, you need to either read their dog tag or ask them. (Scroll mouse wheel after being within 5m proximity for 10 seconds and option to ask appears) Players can give name or not.

Players you have put a name to the face/colour will have their tag changed from "Survivor" to "their-name" if you get within 25m (or range scope)

What do you think? Im getting sick of not having any kind of user profiles to indicate if someone is good or bad and as a result I now shoot anyone on sight. I really wish I didnt have to :(
