I didn't mean labels on the mini-map. I meant next to the health readout like in the screenshot in the first post.

And here I've actually gone and written entire descriptions and backgrounds for all our guns tongue
Hold your mouse over them in the customize window for more info

So in other words, you've implemented tool-tips with not only names, but also backgrounds? That's really neat.

If you could also add something like basic instructions or special rules (ie. "Special: Releases noxious gases harmful only to infantry"), I'd be in Heaven.

i think you need to read the questions above again Rievous.
but i dont think a tank needs a label. cause i havent seen Sw tanks that look the same or that either side had more hten 2 differend once.

i like a clean HUD with only a minimap and a indicator of the flags/points
and a good crosshair. witha dot in the middel preverbly

Yup, Ty already said it, but it would make the tester's lives so much easier if we knew what we were reporting on : ).

Yes, it would be informative.

OK, this is a pretty tiny request, but I think it'd do wonders for game-play.

Instead of just showing images of weapons, vehicles and the likes in the HUD, add small labels like in Project Reality and Forgotten Hope:

Example of weapons labels:

Example of vehicle label:

It'd very likely to cause a reduction in the use of, say, "that big Imp fighter" instead of "the Assault Gunboat", making it easier to communicate with other players.
