So this request is about a bar on the top of the hud which shows how much of the alien/civilian turn had passed.

for multiplayer i would consider this a little bit like cheating. you should not know how many soldiers your opponents have left. what we can do in mulitplayer is, that we are using the timeout value (sv_round_limit was the name of the cvar afaik)

also in singleplayer this would tell you something about the amount of actors lurking around in the map. i'm not sure i want this. a bar which indicates (e.g. a red bar as it was suggested in the forum post already, too) that it isn't your turn would be nice though.

Repeat my opinion:
it will be interesting and usefull to see what`s round is now. Also it can be used for some alert messages (i/e/ breaked current game or time before current round ends). But it must not show any numbers, because it is cheat.
