<div class="IPBDescription">About the marine hud</div>Here goes..
There is this thing thats been bugging me about the HUD and i never botherd to say anything about it because i thought someone else probably would (or maby someone did already)..
To the left of the radarmapdealy it tells you the name of your commander. On most screenies it says Commander: Flaya
Thats all well and good but what if the commanders name is: -[KILLAZ]-Mr.Fool or something. Then the actual name of the commander will not fit, because the word Commander takes up most of that space. Behold, as such uncomparable confusion may arise in such an event.
Could the word Commander just not be a part of the hud sprite instead, on top of the name.
well... there it is.. feel free to bash my brains in with a two-by-four for bringing up such a lame gripe four days before release, but i just could not contain myself... so there <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

Just kidding. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> Ok seriously, um.. It isn't really THAT big of a deal considering you can press TAB and see who your commander is. That's all I have to say
P.S. I you're too lazy to press TAB then you shouldn't be playing the computer
I was thinking from more of a design point-of view. As in it might look a tad more... ehh.. nice i guess to have the word Commander integrated into the Hud. It would also obviously make room for longer names.
But of course this has virtualy no bearing on gameplay. I just wanted to be that Dork standing behind the guy who just painted the chineese wall saying "You missed a spot".
JOEBOBIMBOM would be JOEBOBM...
If you really need to know who the commander is hit tab and it lists it.
oh man i should sleep i get paranoid warning images in my head... errr soon my cure will be downloaded per a little white cable. then the data will be saved on harddisk and installed so it run properly on a 56k. i have tdsl so it will run quite good.
good night i think i have to sleep now. (in germany time is 0.16 on tuesday)

Ah, but what about when there is no commander?
I suppose you could just have
Commander: None
But No Commander seems fine to mua.
Anywho (dont know if someone else said this, only read 2/3 of the replies) it shows periods after a first bunch of characters if the names are too long (if you cant really tell who it is by that... erm, use tab!<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
And version two sounds like it's going to add many useful features... Scrolling commander, Tournament(?) server mode, and plenty of other stuff.

I recommended ditching the word "commander" at least 3 times to allow more room for the name, but I guess I wasn't bellowing loud enough. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> I did, however, move the TSA logo about an inch to the left to make more room. Don't know if that was ever utilized or not.
