Can there be something like a 'how many are alive' monitor. Like on the right side of the screen a 7-3 etc.    (marines-obscurity)
And maybe for possesion, 7(1)-3 (7marines(1possesed)-3obscurity)

No, we deliberately took out obituaries to:
 1. Make you stress out
 2. Make you work as a team rather than fly solo. If you stick together, you will know who is alive.

To find out who is alive: 
 1. Use squads more if you need to know if you have some buddies alive.
 2. Press TAB to view the map, your teammates will be on it.

We have adopted the approach of a NO HUD POLICY for our mod. The only hud you will see is the Obscurity firemode selection and we tried to make it as unobtrusive as possible. So, no, we will not add numbers, counters, etc.

     I agree fully with the no HUD policy. And if you have been playing for more than a week  you need to start learning how to keep track of how many team-mates you have left. When you hear a scream, -1. If you hear gunfire, an explosion and either a demonic scream or a blood gurgle, -1. And for keeping track of obs locations and where they are killing. If you hear fire, hold tab and watch your team-mates. If you see the dots dissapear, -1. If you hear gunfire and see " OBS  *knife symbol* NOOBMARINE, it means possession. Common sense will get you farther than you think ;)

Keeping track of ur own team is easy.. But the other team isn't, what if the opponent is on the other side of the map.. GG with ur talk about sounds/ explosions or whatever

That is the point. You never know how many are left so it keeps you on the edge and makes you stick together more, which is what we aim for.
