Standard Markers on the Compass at Screen Bottom

[dj_tanuzzo]

Hello,

i have been playing this game for a while and its a lot of fun, but i think that there are some markers that could be added to the compass permanently that would greatly increase the ability of teams to coordinate, especially in team matches.

Squad Leader Marker: with a permanent marker showing you where the squad leader is on your compass it would be easier for players to join their squad when they spawn, and move around as a team, especially in urban environments.

Medic Marker: with a permanent marker showing you where the squad medic is on your compass when you are wounded, it would be much easier for players to find their medic and get patched up.

Wounded/Dead Squad Mates Marker: as a medic, having a marker on the compass showing you where wounded/dead team mates are would make it much easier to locate the wounded and properly manage and asses casualty situations.

Right now you can do these things by pulling out the map, but having to pull out the map every few seconds, and with the delay to pull out the map it is just very annoying. These markers would make the whole game much easier and enjoyable to play.

I like a few of the ideas but that might be hardcoded and i have to say you that you this is a Suggestion and you have to post it in the suggestions forums. To post there you need more posts and the post has to be reviewed to get visible to everyone.

It could be possible to implement, but it will require us to find or free some BF2 varriable(we can't create new one), as well as hack into it and set it correctly. Problem is, it's require a lot of CPU power. For players with 4 cores it shouldn't be a problem, as launcher is supporting multiple cores, but for players with only one or two cores, it will make game even more unplayable.

So I doubt it will be added, because it will stress CPU hardly, will take variables that we could use to implement more important feature, as well as to many markers on compass will make it to clustered, and PR is aiming for minimalistic HUD.

Personally I never had a problem with finding medic or SL, because as every good player I'm checking map often and I know their position. As for wounded marker, players should do their best communicating on mumble to help medic locate them and treat their wounds. If they can't tell medic where they are, it's their problem

Just use medic there option in medic bag, and everybody wounded should be marked on map. Or just use mumble.

Then ask SL to call their to revive your squad. Unless you want to prevent even more players from playing PR, because adding such options would make game unplayable for even more players, that it's now.

As everything was said already(it's hard coded, and even if we will found free space, it can reduce performance drastically), I'm closing this thread.
