Bomb plant on HUD for Offense

(INF3RN0) #1

Something I think should really be considered is adding the location of where the bomb has been planted on the HUD or Minimap (just specify), just for the offensive team only of course. I never know what side the plant is on and you basically never know in pub.

I voted no. I prefer the attacking team has no idea where the bomb is because fun things can be done with this.
Also it’s alot better for competitive play because it takes time to search the bomb.
Edit: Nvm :smiley:

I said offense and not defense. I am referring to being on the team that planted the bomb because in most pub cases the planter never says where they planted it.

It’s a good suggestion, especially without coms it can be tricky and sort of suicidal to run around checking where it was planted.

(Stumperd) #5

Oh sorry :X my mistake then I haven’t said anything

(INF3RN0) #6

I just want to be able to know where my teammate planted so I can better defend it. I don’t really see it as removing anything from the game other than forcing people to type in chat where they planted instead.

Voted yes, but the only concern is ensuring multiple plants don’t clutter it up too much, but its rare to get more than 2 anyway.

no as there is already something on the HUD its called the C4. its not hard to see. Could be a little better but doesnt need more HUD clutter.

I could see this being an option to turn on/off.

HUD - nope!
Minimap - yeah, why not.

// I didn’t vote on anything in this poll because I basically hate all of those icons which take important space on the HUD, I’d like everything to be on minimap only, I hope there is an option to move every single obj icon to minimap some day.

That’s a much better idea. Thanks for bringing it up!

(maxxxxlol) #12

Voted yes but only for minimap. I want less things on the screen, not more

(Rex) #13

Voted for no, even if it’s shown only for the attackers, because a plant should require communication.

(Kordin) #14

Voted no.

For competition u need communication as rex said, so i dont want to see something like that. Since there is not much of communication on pub games it would be ok to show plant location on minimap. So maybe a function to disable it for comp matches would also be ok…

(BomBaKlaK) #15

voted no also ! team play is the key

(INF3RN0) #16

Competition will never have a problem with comms… but think of a pub. There’s 2 possible plant sides and in a lot of cases people don’t even know which obj their teammate planted. Pubs lack comms immensely. I just don’t get how having to say “hey guys I planted on the left side” vs the minimap automatically showing their teammates what side they planted on is going to make it worse? It would make sense to say “comms” if this was for the defense, but it’s for the offense (the ones who plant).

It glows red right, isn’t that enough of a giveaway?

(INF3RN0) #18

It glows red on the HUD? Or do you mean the bomb glows itself. This is all about me knowing where my teammate planted when I am on his team and might be respawning. I want to go to the right side to defend, and most times no one says a word on where they planted on pub.

(Rex) #19

Defenders also don’t know where the plant is, so I see no reason for giving the attackers an advantage.

(INF3RN0) #20

What? Attackers don’t know where their own bomb is and shouldn’t because it’s an advantage? Every game I have ever played with a bomb has an indicator on the minimap of where their teammate planted it. Defenders never should know because it’s their job to find it. I would say however that being able to spot and use a vsay on defense when you did find the bomb, resulting in an indicator would be a great feature also. Lack of available comms outside of friends in TS or vent just doesn’t cut it for me. I see no difference between a minimap indicator, someone typing it, or a vsay- the only difference is that in a pub it should be automated or easily accessible on the go because people don’t want to bother stopping to type.
