The inconsistency between the online and offline behavior is wrong. For the sake of consistency I'd say we should disable the message in possession countdown though, since it already has been disabled during the countdown in duel and LMS for ages.

I agree.

Please test if this makes the message behave offline like the already behave online. The change may affect all game modes offline, so it would be nice if you could briefly check all game modes.

Can you elaborate? At first glance it seems to work fine for me.

Missing "x opponents left standing" under "You were fragged by <name>.".

> Missing "x opponents left standing" under "You were fragged by <name>.".

The message is never drawn under "fragged by" messages and judging from the code this seems to be intentional. Probably we should even remove the message from the "you fragged" messages. Since there is an "opponents left" counter and the bottom of the screen, this extra line in the message is completely superfluous.

If we let the message be drawn under the "fragged by" part, it would be aesthetically consistent with the other modes that have large frag messages in them. I do agree that it's rather redundant though, but that is only my opinion.

I really don't know what's better. Either it will look less consistent with the other game modes or it will display something that's completely redundant. Probably we should just keep it as it is now...

I feel that ST would benefit from having a consistent behavior across the different game modes. That is why I noted it down while testing all the game modes. It felt *buggy*. In TeamDM, there are frag counters on the HUD, yet it still displays "<team> leads x to x" under "fragged by".

Since the bugs here are fixed and the remaining things are just cosmetics that depend on personal preferences, I'll close this for now. If anybody feels very strongly about it, please reopen.
