Commander View Is A Bit Off

Lito

Whenever my marines get attacked by an onos, i like to encourage them by telling it "omg! c'mon guys its red!" But sometimes i don't see what my marines see, only a motion tracking circle. He wasn't cloaked because the marines were sticking lmg clips into him and he was gore-ing

so why can't i see him

(also, i don't have the facts straight, but i think sometimes <b>before</b> upgrading MT, i can see motion tracknig circles. Is this possible without upgrading?)

Within a certain radius of any observatory, all aliens and chambers will be marked with MT circles.

So wait... if my rines fight something, and it's within range of an Obs... it's a mtrack circle to the comm? Is this intentional?

Otherwise, you'd see the onos itself, right?

I think when your marines fight an onos, you see it. if it's within the range of your obs, you see a blip.

That's done so that the commander can warn his troops of incoming. If he can, and if they listen....usually I get incoming warnings as I'm dieing.

MrMojo

Yep. Very useful for skulks hiding up somewhere.

Then again the minimap basically does the same thing. If there's an alien within range of a marine it will appear on the minimap...but it is balanced...that works for aliens and the hidden end game marine.
