This.
Maybe in the HUD there could be a blinking light when its 3 or less alive.

heh, good catch and that's a good point: number of people alive. after playing a real hard match in drac's house last night with just a few playas(but yay we won after a hard fite), a count of how many's left woulda been real helpful. i was pretty aware of the monster level by listening to hit sounds, but i still was having to constantly hit f1 to see how many were left.
fancy things lke colors, bars, messages and etc are nice and i woundn't mind em, but they are also more work for our hard working coders. for me, just a simple number for monster level and a simple number for how many's alive would be super noice (and ya the number for my score too that would be noice *wink*).

I'd rather not see blinking lights nor hear bells and whistles.
To simplify, the monster level itself could be displayed in color - no need for a separate bar - though even just the level # would be fine.
The live player count should also include the total players as a fraction, e.g. 3/20.
Even without all that, a good indicator of what's going on is knowing who's playing, their level, and their probability of survival. :swink:

FWIW I have an alias to to show the score screen only when TAB is pressed. It's much easier and more convenient than toggling F1 on and off in the fray.
Code: Select all
[Engine.Input]

Aliases[25]=(Command="ShowScores|OnRelease ShowScores",Alias="ScoreToggle")

Tab=ScoreToggle

Last class to notice the hit sounds would be AM busy with weapons. Hit sounds just are not enough.

The HUD should look something like this, in top right corner of screen:
Wave Number = X
Monster Level = X
Players Alive = X
(X = number (obviously))
I may not be a coder, but seriously... this isn't rocket science and I don't see the difficulty in coding this. These are the 3 basic things we need in order to form a strategy. It's not like it's giving an unfair advantage, it's simply a matter of convenience.
