This should be incorporated into the game. In large games, it can be confusing (especially when the rines are moving in a large mass) to see exactly who requested a healthpack or ammo. Although the problem has been slightly mitigated by the ammo bar that's now shown to commanders, I still find it useful to have that icon next to a specific marine to know whom I should focus on first on medding and giving ammo before filling up the rest of the squad.
From what I hear, this used to be in the game, but was removed; may I ask why this was so?

Mod is not mine.

    Was this in the game? I don't remember that.

    It would have to be toggle-able though. There's already a lot of information displayed on the screen. You have the ammo bar now and you can see their health bars. I don't know that it's really necessary. You'd just see who exactly called, but if they're in a group you'll see everyone's health/ammo and should be able to judge based on that who needs it the most, first.

    I loved this mod before we had the ammo bars in game. Now I don't know that I would want it - it might just obscure more of the screen with duplicate info.

    Something like this used to be in game IIRC. Back when the old commander help was in game where you could click the icon above an empty resource nozzle for example to start placement for a new rt. Did the same thing for health and ammo.
