Displaying teammates' health

When hovering your crosshair over a teammate (to display their name), it should also display the teammate's health, in either number form or as a health bar.

It wouldn't be difficult to add, and it would make teamwork much easier. You could:
- Know when to protect weaker teammates
- As aliens, know when your allies have regenerated their hp, to resume the attack
- Just to know your teammates' hp in general

I just figure that it's easy to add, and would help encourage teamwork a bit.

This is a good idea, but it has to be "optional" so if it annoys you you can turn it of.

It should be a very small and thin bar.

The effect would be another, you could actually see when you shoot ppl their health drop, so the effect would be psychological --> more aiming --> more fun on ff servers.

It doesn't annoy at all in Enemy Territory...
If my answer to your problem doesn't seem helpful, it means I won't help you until you show some effort to fix your problem yourself!

I too want to see this added.

This is good if there is a healing unit, which there might be..

I hope there is. And I hope he earns his pay by the hp... there'd be no reason to be medic/alien...medic? when you don't earn anything but the 2min survival points.

Also, if there are medics added, I hope the alien one is creative... make him hork healing mucus onto teammates or something. I would pay money to see a granger-like alien's head twitching, coughing a "aaackkk booooraackk grackkkkk", then with a "ugh", vomiting a giant ball of slime onto a teammate.
