    Playing escort here, but just thought up a random quickie:

    Why not replace the colour of the teammates with revive on the minimap (the red and blue little arrow) to green or yellow colour, just any colour that is easy to see apart from the other team colours, to see if it's worth to stay dead next to that engineer or If I should respawn.
    The colour would only be seen by the friendly team, not the enemy team.

    Pros:
    Easier detection of engineers that can revive
    Very quick fix?

    Cons:
    May be useless to some hating forum members who doesn't play the game
    Confuses noobs.

    You know the small arrows on the minimap? That show where a player is, what I wanted to do for each team would to have the engineer with revive, to instead of having a red or blue arrow as their minimap location, it would be a green one.

    It would only show that colour for the their own team.

    I'll upload a pic later on if it wasn't described enough.

    i understand, it sounds ok to me. but why dont we make the camera look directly at the engie if hes in the area or can see him its not as confusing cuz u know hes important. But the minimap things sound alright since the Camera thing is a little harder to do

    Because with this you can see if you have an engineer with revive next to you when you are alive, and that having a forced look on an engineer would be a pain in the ass.

    I like this suggestion.
    Some way of showing who has revive when you are dead would be nice.

    Yeah you know maybe have like a fixed camera on him for 3 seconds or 2.

    But after having engies drop ammo boxes and heal ppl that die anyway after i spam REVIVE REVIVE REVIVE in chat might asweal turn around look at the scout whit his pew rifle miss every one from 20 feet away :rage:

    Might want to go ahead and erase the plan from everyones minds :(

    (But i cant remember in which game i saw this :mad: )
