A player of Call of Duty: Warzone posted a suggestion for an improvement in the Battle Royale. Although it is actually just a tiny detail, this change would be really helpful and tens of thousands of players agree.
What is this change? It is about a small display in the HUD (“Heads-Up Display”) that should allow players to see the equipment of their teammates. The reddit user guispfilho showed his idea to other players in the Warzone subreddit.
He shows small icons under the display of the teammates’ names that are supposed to provide different information. Namely:
- the killstreak the player is carrying
- whether he is carrying a gas mask or a self-revive
- how many armor plates he has left
The icons represent typical and well-known symbols for the respective items that every player should immediately recognize.
What would this bring? A display like this would allow players to see at a glance how well their teammates are equipped. For fixed teams, it would be easier to quickly come up with a tactic for a fight – based on the equipment available to them.
But this would be especially strong for players in random groups. There, people could see without any prior discussion in voice chat what others need, to provide them with leftover armor plates, or to buy some of the most important items in Warzone that are currently missing in the team.
Lack of coordination is one of the biggest mistakes players still make in Warzone. Such a small feature would help ensure that these mistakes occur less frequently.
Small change receives huge support
The corresponding post on reddit has now received over 21,000 upvotes (as of June 9) and players enthusiastically agree with the idea. Yato_amoll simply writes: “That would be a great addition to the game.”
However, several players also take the opportunity to throw shade at Call of Duty. The most upvoted comment, for example, is from tallermanchild: “That would then be 20 gigabytes.” He is referring to the enormous size of Modern Warfare, which particularly causes problems for console users.
The new Call of Duty is now known for taking up a lot of storage space on hard drives and requiring huge downloads for updates with seemingly few changes. Fortunately, there are now developer tips to reduce storage requirements on PS4 and Xbox One. Nevertheless, the idea of these small icons seems to be received quite well. What do you think about it?
