now draw the name of the guy who planted the bomb
You mean a bigtext temporary message, like: 'The bomb has been planted by Bagheera'?
I play Bomb mode on public servers regularly for 3 years, and from my experience bomb mode should be improved to make it more vital (just 3 suggestions, i don't wanna start new thread about improving bomb mode, there are dozens already):
1. there should be a STATIC message visible for all 'Bomb planted' or
icon like suggested here (possibility to place it in chosen place in hud, just like minimap).
Reason: because it's widespread that players (no matter how much they are experienced) often don't notice short, bigtext information about planting the bomb.
2. imo there should be possibility to ABORT while planting a bomb
Reason: vulnerabilty while planting is so annoying, i know there is sliding-plant but just imagine: you are 1 vs 5 blues, you killed 4 of them, you have 1 hp, you 'run' through half of map to plant bomb, while planting you hear enemy behind you, newbie-tourist player who just made a full circle on the map kills you cause you can't do ANYTHING!
3. REWARD more playing for objective- what is the clue of bomb mode!
For example:
Personal rewards:
3 points for planting a bomb while there are 5 or more enemies alive.
2 points for planting a bomb while there are 4-3 enemies alive.
1 point for planting a bomb while there are 2-1 enemies alive.
3 points for defusing a bomb while there are 5 or more enemies alive.
2 points for defusing a bomb while there are 1-4 enemies alive.
1 point for defusing a bomb while no enemy is alive.
Also reconsdider TEAM rewards:
1 extra point for teammates who cover you while planting/defusing (succeeded action) 1 extra point for survived bombers (exactly in the moment of explosion, not after)
-1 point for survived defusers (while they didn't manage to defuse bomb)
-1 point for survived bombers when the bomb got defused
-1 point for survived bombers (while they lost a round because didn't manage to plant bomb)
Reason: It will help to prevent playing Bomb mode same as Team surivor, what is widespread at the moment.
