Feature?
You are playing Versus, you see a Survivor in red, you pounce on them! You tear them up for 10 seconds and when you get knocked off they get right up. Seems they had temporary health you didn’t “see”.
So we propose that the Player’s outline should match their current health not their permanent health. So if they have 20 health and take pills we show their glow as green not red. As their health counts down the green would turn to orange then red.
The problem here is if everyone was green, you wouldn’t clearly see who had temporary health or permanent health – most people would rather be eating through someone’s permanent health in this case.
You can always check the scoreboard but this is just for the quick identification you do based on the infected glow. So that leads us to the poll question.
Would you rather the glow color reflect permanent health only or reflect permanent and temporary health? Let us know.

Them Crooked Vultures will soon be recording their second album. The band includes John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. The band spoke to BBC:
Some stuff we’ve worked on, but we’re gonna write pretty quickly and just put it down… we may be a year or so [away from completing the CD]. It will mainly be excess material from the first album, material we started and never finished because we had to go and play the stuff we already recorded!
The band released their previous, self-titled debut in 2009.
