You can't have a cake and eat it. Either pick awareness as one of your perks or deal with the consequences of not doing it, period.
I vote 'yes, but...'Awarness should then display HP all the time, just like player names.
If that was implemented and you had a considerable amount of players together and near each other, would it not spam you?
There could be a on/off option, just as we have now on awarness.As for why... To keep awarness a usefull perk. With 3d everyone will see others weapons and armour so that takes away 50% of that perk, mouseover status takes 50% of what's left.
What left - you exact HP and crippled or not. This worth perk.
