<div class="IPBDescription">greater visibility suggestion</div>What do you think about making players on your Steam friends list more visible in-game (while on the same team, of course)? ie. having their names glow (as opposed to white) above the model and possibly their icons on the mini map as well.

    Not necessary.

    Absolutely necessary.

    Not on the minimap, but on the scoreboard it is important.
    I don't read all the names of the players I'm playing with. But it would be nice to see in one moment, if there is a befriended player on the server.

    Besides it's a steam-standard. Look at TF2.

    I think the scoreboard would be good too. I brought it up because I think it would be infinitely easier to identify your friend in a crowd of people at base (or in any random part of a map for that matter), especially if you're trying to teach them aspects of the game, or trying to complete an objective together- I just feel it could promote a greater sense of a teamwork environment.

    I like the idea of my friends having there name in a different color in game. Totally unnecessary but still cool
