Howzabout this for an idea:
Move the Health and Name Labels so that they’re off on the side of the screen somewhere, to give a clearer view of the battlezone.
(I know you can turn them off altogether in Options, but this would be a good compromise (- or possibly configurable alternative?)).
I don’t mind it the way it is, though I wish they would leave the persons rank out, or at least abbreviate it. In RTCW you could make them semi-transparent with cg_hudalpha, but for some reason they took that out of ET. 
I would not want it off to the side. I’ve played other games that did that, and it seemed much harder to keep track of players health. Maybe that is just because I’m conditioned by years of wolf though.
I like them where they are, but I agree I wish you could disable the ranks. It hard to see exactly who it is sometimes, especially on axis.
Interesting about cg_hudalpha, I didn’t know about that. Can you recommend a good value for this? Looks to me like it’s in the range 0-1, perhaps 0.25?
Hmmm… offtopic for this forum if it’s not in ET (sorry 
)
It is NOT offtopic. This is general discussion. :poke:
If I remember right, 1 is opaque (the default) and 0 is completely transparent, but it might be the other way around. I use 0.45 in my wolf cfg, but it is easy to try different values.
