An idea for face coverings and identifying players

[bfisher 561]

I had a couple of thoughts.

 

1)  Back in the mod, it was kind of nice to be able to mouseover a player and see who they were.  They should have this in the SA as well.

 

2)  It should only work within like 10-20 meters (or magnified equivalent through binocs or scopes) and only when you can actually see a player on screen.  About the distance you would be able to recognize someone's face IRL.

 

3)  It should not work at all if a player is wearing any kind of face covering, excluding sunglasses (helmets, masks, balaclavas, bandanas, etc).

 

 

I think it would add an element of helping friendly players connect, as well as add an extra element of menace when you see someone covering their face.  Are they wearing that helmet for protection or are they a bandit who doesn't want to be recognized.

Any questions?

 

Edit: Ok I'll play nice. In general it's not a good idea. I'm not opposed to being able to "tag" friends though.
