Quick and dirty comment:
There is no obvious indication that the player is receiving damage and should look for cover. Yes the bottom left hand corner is a gauge but without it then one would have little idea of how close they are to death. For instance battlefield or COD, the whole screen turns red as well as sounds occur indicating damage. This game needs something like this to add to the realism. |

Really? I seem to recall having a red thingy that appears on the screen in the direction damage is coming, plus the sound is fairly distinctive. |

Greetings,
As the quote from heartbreak ridge says 'The AK-47 makes a distinctive sound when fired at you'... In this game, you can generally tell what is being shot at you (assuming you live through it) and how much damage you are taking from it, but I often have trouble telling from where it is coming even with the HUD indicator. IMO the mini-map should get a directional pointer, say a thin line overlaid from you towards the general direction of the originator. Please note I am not advocating that it pinpoint the enemy, only that it point in their general direction... Actually this is a feature that certain modern weapon systems already have. |

Serious question:
Have you ever been tested for color blindness? |

Is a valid question, and while my color discrimination is good, I know a lot of people who have un-diagnosed color blindness. The OP may be one of them, but CCP has admitted that this is something they need to fix.

I have reported this in the technical/ bugs section to ensure it gets noticed. It's supposed to add a bloodied effect to the screen when you take damage along with the red arrow indicator of its originating direction, but it just doesn't always work is the problem. Keep the thread going so ccp will take notice. This has gotten me killed a few times ( mainly from snipers) but I'll just be trekking along and all the sudden I see I have almost no health, but it's too late by then. |

Yeah, "realism"...

The controller also rumbles in case you didn't know. |
