Hi,
	I can easily answer your question. It's called Weapons Mode or 
something like that. Press 'W' to activate and press it again to 
de-activate it. Basically shows what weapon the other player is using, 
it's pretty good but I find it annoying at times. You can always look in 
the help menu, just press F1 when you are playing the game.
	By the way, 7 HOURS!!!!!!!! Is that like a world record or 
something, the longest deathmatch I have ever played was about 2-3 Hours 
and that was with four players in HEXEN. How can you possibly play for 7 
hours! Sheesh , anyway ignore that last bit, hope you have things sorted 
now,
Peace.
