Hints

Content

This is for the hint ideas we had. This page contains things relating to ingame hints -- i.e. hints displayed (text) or played (audio) as the user actively plays the game and is given hints depending on his or her actions. E.g. a hint on how to repair a sentry gun when it gets damaged.

Ingame Hints

Ideas:

• Each hint should be displayed / played once by default.
• After being triggered once, the hint should be semi active. Semi-active hints will pop up a small icon on the hud (like a lightbulb) but will not actually display/play to the player
• If players wish to activate the old hint, they can press a key to see/hear it.

These ideas are basically a culmination of BF2's style of doing things, but with the added ability to activate hints multiple times. I found it very annoying that, in BF2, hints would play once and then would no longer be available. Not everybody hears the hints the first time around!

If a Hint requires its own page, use the prefix Hint:

Loading Hints

The page also pertains to hints displayed while loading a map (if possible).
