Everyone knows that 9 times out of 10 a teamkill is by mistake. But in FH2, when you are TK'd you are told what weapon was used.

For example In PR you get :

Joe3454 [Teamkilled] Harrythenobet

in FH2 you would get :

Joe3454 [Teamkilled] [With M4 ACOG] Harrythenobet

This would make it easier to tell who's fault it was, and if it was a mistake. Even so, some of the time i would like to know what teamkilled me.

I support.

Should be possible since in vBF2 weapons were shown whenever a person was killed, but I don't think that also applied to teamkills.

It was never in Vbf2, it was only in FH2 mod

You could easily do it in vanilla bf2 since release.

It doesn't work in pr because they didn't ad the kill messages for their weapons.

You still get the Teamkill messages, and FH2 has removed their kills aswell

No it hasn't...

I will have to check up on it

It doesn't matter, you can remove the normal kill messages without removing the kill messages for each weapon.

Kill message: Teamkill message: Kill message weapon: Edit:
Anyway, I think pr hardcoded the message system in some python file.

Or you could take my word as an FH2 beta tester for it. All kills are still displayed in FH2. And I'm quite sure the teamkilling weapon is also present in vanilla (although I haven't played that in a while)

Its not in Vbf2

Wrong, changing local localization files will make you see what weapon someone is killed/teamkilled with. You can also change the size of the text, colours, and change "teamkilled" with f. ex "pwned" etc..

This is all clientside, and will not affect the rest of the team. In BF2 you will not see what weapon teamkilled you and others with default settings. If this works in PR i dont know, never used it in PR, but it was helpful in BF2, especially as an admin.

How was i wrong then?

If you ment it wasnt in vBF2 by default, then you are right, default teamkill messages dont show the weapon, default kill do messages show the weapon.
If you ment that it cant be done/edited in vBF2 then your wrong. It can be done in vBF2, therefore it should be possible in PR, unless the DEVS have removed this possibility.

The DEVS have properly removed it

Why, is the question.

Totally agree with this suggestion.
