Ammo Count HUD

Development Ideaguys

Self-explanatory. An ammo counter. Probably would be best at the bottom right corner near the chat.
It’s also accurate lorewise.

Thats a M41A ammo counter from the movie.

Marines would be able to see at a glance how much ammo they still have and maybe do a tactical reload. I really don’t like the chat ammo counting. To stop and look for the ammo count in the middle of combat or examine a gun is just time consuming and probably a death sentence.

If my memory doesn’t fail me I think there is even something already like that in SS13 somewhere, but I can’t find any screenshots or prints of that.

Like so many things, the anwser is TGMC has it.
Thats where you saw it before.

Btw, it also shows you what type of ammo you got loaded.
Its honestly pretty good. We really need to steal more shit from TGMC.

We know. Point is that its kinda annoying that said information is stored in runechat where you have to scroll around for it because so much is already in there.
Having it a hud element like a real game would make it more user friendly.

Runechat ammo count sucks and it makes no sense. HUD ammo count is where its at.

ASCII art that shows your ammo count in runechat and covers the entire screen.

I’ve never played tgcm. *shrugs

It would be enough if we could borrow the ammo count from there. No need for the ammo type.

I think having an ammo count in the HUD would be cool. It’d be nicer for newbies who probably struggle reading the ammo count spam in chat, and offers a good alternative for all the combat firing notifications too.

I don’t see any downsides, someone port it over :pleading_face:

You should. It has no RP, but in exchange, they just straigth up have better gameplay.
Like its not even a competition.
They go overthetop with most, allowing them to just say “fuck it, its fun so we slap it in”.

  • Like, they have so many uniqe xeno casts that are very fun.
  • Multiple types of xeno chems, even one that would fully counter CM God stims. (Yes, TGMC had the soution for godstims for a LONG time)
  • More interactive Dropship(tadpole) and multiple groundside artilery.
  • SO many weapons you can choose as marine.
  • Saving Loudouts.
  • Or the Vali system alone, where you can have a fun melle build thats actually very good.

Like, they follow the Syndrome school of thought. “If everyone is super, no one is”. If you make everyone OP, its somewhat ballanced.

Legit, try TGMC. They got so much fun stuff.
As ghost you can also join valhalla wich is just a shooting range for marines and xenos to try out shit. Best do that if you just want to dick around.

“NOOOO! IT WILL HANDHOLD MARINES! It will dumb down marine gameplay! It will make marines RP LESS! It is on TGMC! Disadventages outweight adventages, don’t add.” - Typical “pro-RP” and anti-fun enjoyer.

This, but unironically.
Marines don’t need an easier gameplay/interaction with CIC model, they need to use their brains to win.

If they had all the tools xenos had access to, the hive wouldn’t win a single round. This shit should only be added if we buff xenos.

You get the ammo count in chat, maybe read?

Wrong thread, brother, but anyways…

Ammo counter was in the movies, its in games, its even in the scary and totally evil TGMC. Why is CM’s universe worse technologically than the first couple of films?
I dont wanna check runechat after every xeno chase just to make sure I dont rush at queen with empty mag and get neuro-spat at while I reload.

This is a very nice quality of life feature. There are a lot of ways to know how much ammo you have though so it’s not that necessary.

Do they still have the HRP suicide vest?

yeag it’s stills in the end of round deathmatch as far as i’m aware

You even managed to play both sides of the argument.

“Ammo count will handhold marines, plox dont do it” while at the same time " skill issue, there is ammo count already in chat."
Pick one.

I agree, fuck them new players. Learn the hard way, or eat shit and die. No handholding, no SL markers, no command announcements, just a chatbox and a gun you have to press a button to even cock it, because fuck them QoL improvements.

Shift-click everything enjoyer.
If you are not Shift-clicking guns, mags or people you are LRP and TDM pilled.
(Try alt clicking tiles with an empty hand too, ring bells under shutters and wrench hidden by ledges cades)
