Idea: IR strobes for chopper

waldo_ii · 07-21-2008, 12:12 AM

Recently I was playing Kashan 32, gunning in the Cobra. I look down over the bunkers and I see a group of infantry. I let loose with my 30mm, and I hear "Cease Fire, Soldier" and my name appear twice in the top left next to that ugly "[Teamkilled]" message.

So, my suggestion is this: put IR strobes on friendly infantry units, just like they do in real life (just like in CoD4, in that gunship mission). No one will be able to see the strobes except for the gunner (or maybe the driver of a tank in the black and white view, with the range finder).

I looked at the massive "already suggested" thread and didn't find this, so I apologize if it has already been suggested and shot down.

that would be good, but the work i would think they would have to put in it would be enormis for detecting a coller change in our troops, with a flshing light...but what do i know about computers when i cant figure out how to fix my pb so

Really good idea howerver to slighty improve on it what about a throwable strobe to mark targerts for Helis Because its annoying when a lb is goin to strafe a target comes in on a order and sprays down a friendly squad.

we could always use the map/minimap that is sometimes there but thats no fun=P

Why not make it something like a grenade instead, you can use it to mark your own or an enemies position.

Its easy, you the the blue tag over their heads this only works when youre in chopppers.

Check your map for blue dots more often

Exactly.
If you double checked your map and STILL cant decide who's who, then simply dont engage.
