Singleplayer is looking pretty nice. I remember asking about how the AI would be handled a while back and it looks spot on from what I can see: just the right balance of slightly suicidal aggressiveness with moderate tactics.
I do have one concern about the HUD, however: Will the on-screen "x2" combo multiplier pop ups and "1 Enemy Killed" messages be optional? I know having a score is a hallmark feature of this era of FPS games, but ROTT (or any other FPS of the time that I can think of) didn't require constant visual feedback for every point you earned. It's unnecessary visual clutter, and sorry to say, but it reminds me of the constant "+100" xp kill messages in Call of Duty's multiplayer. Such on-screen reminders aren't really needed when the splattering of blood and ludicrous gibs are more than plenty to inform you that your shots are on the mark.
Again, just a simple option to turn these score messages off and leaving the critical messages such as weapon pickups, Ludicrous Gibs, and such enabled would suffice.
Yes, you will be able to turn off the combo x2,x3,x4 messages and most on screen text. While most of our guys love it some of our old schoolers definitely want to turn it off. So, we're gonna let you!
