Circle for me. But then i've never tried the 'bar' style so my preference is just because i've never tried the alternative!
Monkeyspunk the bar was standard before they started messing with it and gave use the circle style! By the way Wail I use the circles all the reasons mentioned above, and it does not get in the way of seeing past someone.
No shame, no dishonor, will run away to fight another day!

Another advantage of the circles is that you know where the monsters are if you are shooting blindly in the bushes or fog. The bars are just too wide, and you can't really pin point where the target is (specially when shooting seekers up high in the fog).
The difference between successful people from others is
not in the lack of strength,
not in the lack of knowledge,
but rather in the lack of will.

Just aim at the center of the bar? ^^ I will try this circle style and see what all the fuss is about! :PD2Boss wrote:The bars are just too wide, and you can't really pin point where the target is

You can't really do that when there's multiple rectangles overlapping eachother. Circles fixes this issue :cheers:InflatableHero wrote:Just aim at the center of the bar? ^^ I will try this circle style and see what all the fuss is about! :PD2Boss wrote:The bars are just too wide, and you can't really pin point where the target is

it just comes down to personal preference, i use bars because i always have, and it looks weird when i try to change
i doubt that before this thread anyone was thinking hard about the pros/cons of the awareness style

in the original UTRPG was there an option to get the numbers in awareness and how do I access it?
On topic, I hadn't noticed the circle style, I thought the circular awareness meant the monsters to the side and behind me's bars appeared at the edge of the screen! ^^ stupid me AGAIN
