Shield-bar, Sniper and Truth

  • The shield-bar on the beta is far too pale and when flashing red it tends to blend in with the red/pink parts of Truth. This can lead to sudden deaths as you are unaware of the current state of your health due to its pale nature and the ease with which it blends in with the map.- Truth has too many flaring lights which can leave you blinded if you scope in in the wrong place- if it is intentional to blind a player for a few moments, then fine. Prophets bane is a bit too bright as well.- I think the sniper on Empire is ineffective. There are too many blocked lines of sight so gameplay always ends up close-quarters which isn’t really the point of the sniper. Having watched many gameplays and played with it myself I think the sniper is wasted on the map- something like the energy sword or shotgun would be better suited. If the “zoom-in” was reduced for the first time you scope in, to make it slightly easier to snipe from a medium distance, then I think the sniper would work better.

1.I cant speak for others but I listen to the healthbars audio cue.

  1. I guess you haven’t played most other games where the sun flares up half your screen

3.Meanwhile I am being sniped cross map :confused:

  1. It’s quite a noisy game so I sometimes miss it and the pace with which you lose shileds in the game sometimes doesn’t allow for audio cues in my opinion- but fair enough. I just think they should make it more visible.

  2. Yeah, haven’t really come across any games with that :smiley:

  3. Haha yeah, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen but that for the most part, if you’re sniping from range there are only a limited number of long lines of sight and even then, you only have only a brief opportunity to get a kill; they only appear for a second before they disappear behind cover (e.g. if you want to snipe from a distance, lets say from the inside sniper spawn, you only have a second to snipe somebody in the outside sniper spawn before they disappear behind a pillar). I think they should reduce the zoom for the first zoom-in so it is slightly easier to snipe from a medium range.

The heath bar is just an extra shield, was kinda hoping for an actual heath bar, CE/ODST/Reach style.

Having an actual health bar (like CE) can be annoying though as you have to find health packs
