Grid References - Page 2

Ghost1800 · 08-08-2006, 08:20 AM

yes, with a few tweaks... could we not have lines predicting troop movements (even if they are obvious and stupid routes im guessing). Just have lines that represent the order of the flag capture (straight from point to point).

example of shortened chat or TS/VOIP message :

"3 troops @ G4 moving SW"

you'd know roughly where they are from the "G4" reference and know which compass direction they were travelling. knowing the map would then give you likely positions they would appear at.

I voted "I want nothing" beqause of another reason.

The proposal is a great idé!!, but I want to get ahead in the suggestion. I think I have write my idé before, but I repeat my idea

Derkka!

POINT 1:
Disable the Minimap,Map - for all squadmembers but NOT for the SL,commander.Ordersituation between SL-Commander is the usual thing.
Drygars Reason:It would give the gameplay extra spice,Teamwork improved

POINT 2:
Then enable autokick for player whois NOT in a squad or commander, after a time settled setting (5min?) mentime the player gets intervall warning before he will be kicked.Good for new PR player whois not familiar with the setting.
Drygars Reason:I want to get ridd of "lonewolfs", and the gameplay will incresse and tighter between Squads.

worthy idea???

and I quote - Great to see Polls regarding change suggestions!

Very much like that idea Maverick. Would be great be able to instantly tell people exactly where you saw someone etc.

As you have mentioned, small numbers in the squares would look good and maybe more transparent so isn't so much in the way, but apart from that I think that's great.

Now is it doable devs?

Its easy - they just add the overlay grid to all the maps - just need mappers approval I guess.

I could do all the maps in a few hour

With the map overlay you it would make it a lot easier to call in an airstrike on large troop movements:

'airstrike on co ordinates G4 we've got troops taking their lunchtime prayer'

Or somehing along those lines.....

I suppose what i'd really like to see is instead of the map you usualy bring up, you would have a propper map like IRL. Where you have proper contour lines, grids with |Latitude and Longitude ands grid references on them

Its great, but I'd like letters and Numbers assigned to each column and row.

Otherwise its just too crowded.

What map is that?
