I don´t like it at all.
Its way too big and blocks half of my sight and the enemy mech of course too.
Further more its ugly as hell.

I think the marker in cb2 was fine, how it was.

I still can't see it.
Make it bigger!

To be clear: it takes up all my screen and i cant see anything if i use it. the original was better.

I like that it's more noticeable, but I feel like it doesn't fit in with the aesthetics of the game as well as the highlight box.

Doesn't fit in with the game, and gives no depth of field to it, so you can't see if the enemy is 5 meters away or 500 meters away unless you look at the minimap/radar.

I didn't have any problems with the old one, and prefer it over the new one. The old one at least scaled based on distance to some degree.

I never had a problem with the old one. This one is a bit... blinding.

It was fun while it lasted.

It's pretty big, certainly attention-grabbing. I'm not much of a fan of the way it pops up for XP either, the old flashing X was a lot more tasteful. Speaking of HUD changes, are there any plans to put in the blur from the March gameplay trailer, perhaps as an option_ Eye-destroying as it probably is it's rather pretty.

I hate it and it gets in the way. I actually prefer people to not use it now. Also, like it was mentioned above, it would be nice if the emblem was smaller the farther away the spot was.

Obtrusive, jumps out in the face, it doesnt seem to scale as to how far the "sighting" was and how big the text is. A graphical arrow or something of the sort would do the job perfectly fine.

I think what may be better is, instead of highlighting an area, it simply highlights the mech you're trying to point out and makes them flash a bit for a few seconds. As it is, it does obstruct the view somewhat, when the whole point should be to point it out to your teammates.

The marker is huge, and it's main role seems to be to hide enemy mechs behind it.

I would like an option to disable this feature, although useful in smaller games i feel it gets spammed too much in bigger games and just becomes a distraction.

Half the time, it's more obstructive to myself and other pilots than helpful. It stands out more, which is ok, but the size and aesthetics, I'll agree, should be rethought.

It's not that it's too big, but that it makes the enemy impossible to see.

I actually use it to obscure my team mates view I so can get the finishing blows.
