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. -- ========================================== Armin - ar...@sadeghi.manawatu.gen.nz "The truth is out there" - The X-Files. ==========================================
