fireteams indicators.

simple suggestion.

people sometimes dont make fireteams because of these reasons.

a) SM get confused, dont know what team they belong to.
b) a SM leave and the fireteams are screwed up
c) sometimes is just hard to get the SMs to understand who needs to go where.
d) new guy gets in the squad and dont know what fireteam he belongs to.

simple solution.
auto assign people to fire teams. how?, simple. just have to change 2 colours in the squad screen...

these are the default colors.

lets change them to something that can identify fireteams.

in that way, anyone can tell if he is from red fireteam or blue fireteam. and if someone leaves from the game, the rest of the guys can still check at what fireteam they belong to, and a new guy just dont have to ask. this means better organisation. and the squad leader can use fireteams much more smoothly because he dont needs to explain anything.

when a game starts you dont need to say anything, the fireteams are already set up for you.

NOTE:I am not talking about names, names would be green, the only change would be the colour of the box that holds the name in the squad screen, when you press bloq mayus.

what do you think?

its a general rule of thumb that anything to do with squads is hardcoded, so don't get your hopes up. im also pretty sure indications (in various forms) for fireteams have been suggested

even though gazz said that its hardcoded, I still like the idea.

Gazz Is right about it being hard codded most likely.

They may be able to add a A and a B to players in-game tag kinda like how the SL has his tag good idea.

but in BF2 there are different colours, in PR are different.

gazzthompson · Post by **gazzthompson** » 2009-05-05 23:16

other squad members are blue, your squad green (same in PR and vbf2)

martov · Post by **martov** » 2009-05-05 23:17

I am talking about the higligts, not the colour of the name....

compare the yellow and grey higligts in pr with the not so higlighted in vBF2

The reason is because your not in one of the 2 squads so the default color is blue once you join a squad by default there names change to green messing with theses color is not allowed by EA I do believe a Dev can answer that better.

Oh I see what hes saying he wants to change the flash color that make of the box that holds the squads.

Humm... as you see they can change it but im not sure if they could make the boxes in the right spot all the time ... this may be a workable idea we need a Dev to answer this.

gazzthompson · Post by **gazzthompson** » 2009-05-05 23:23

the highlights (light and dark) are in both PR and vbf2

martov · Post by **martov** » 2009-05-05 23:34

they are different tones of color I think. look closer.
