Suggestion: Remove Death Messages

[mynameismonkey 25]

Unless the death occurred within ~100m of your location or whatever the direct comms range is, I suggest removing the map-wide death notice. Part of the experience is not knowing who or what is around the corner, I don't see why in a game that has already removed server chat we need to get global death messages. If I can't see/hear/RP knowing the death occurred, I'd prefer to not know about it.

Agreed.

Engine allows either on or off.

Or scripted.

But beeing able to "see the kill" is against your suggestion. Of course you can see the target drop but is he really dead or is he really dead?

I don't disagree, I'd prefer no message at all, but thought I'd throw a bone to those who want something within visual/direct comms distance.

I believe this is a server side thing. The server I play on doesn't have these messages.
