UT3 Patch 2.0 Beta 3 Released To Testers

[Fuzzle]

So apparently the patch got leaked on the gametrailer forums and people are up in arms about the "NOOB ARROWS" over people's heads. I haven't tried the patch myself, but would I be correct in assuming that it works like tribes/battlefield/whatever in the sense that they only show up on the enemy if you already have visual on them?

Arrows over people's heads now?

What, are brightly glowing enemies not enough??

 

[Raynor.Z]

There's no arrows over enemies head, only their name which gets smaller if you move closer to them.

Gamers up in arms over minor changes? Will wonders ever cease?

those 'NOOB ARROWS' are just little name tags hovering over the player models and yes, they're only visible if the players are already in your line of sight.

honestly, i'm usually kind of fussy about things like that but i hardly notice those tags while playing.

I reckon ut99 had it right, these name tags should only be visible if you pont your gun at the enemy. The name tag would then appear regardless of what team the subject of your inquiry is on

Yet even UT1 had a mutator "Player beacons".

You can just disable the DOF and keep the textures set high. No stupid DOF = no bleeding eyes.

That's pretty much what I have.

Which was quite ugly I never used it
