3d command marker

Post by Psyko »

Hey, i wanted a broader view on the community's opinion on the 3d command marker.

My idea is simple. change the look of the command marker so that the distance indicator is on top and the icon be replaced with a color coded ring. perhapse not unlike the below example.

But when i asked my clan members what they thought the general opinion was that they turn the 3d command marker off mostly.

So the question is, do you use it?

example:

leave it on all the time. Easy for checking where we need to go. where enemy's are or what ever.

Moving the distance meter to the top wouldn't be bad at all, but the circle is just too much imo.

I agree with this

I generally leave the marker on, its too useful not to use. (Though...sometimes I get the feeling that a few people in my squad don't have it on- "fire on the attack marker at 120" "what attack marker?")

/agree.

Many times the range overlay obscures the target.

squad leader places it with one of the comms rose. you turn it on and off with left alt (default IIRC)

move here
watch here
attack here
friendly here
fire here
smoke here
wait here


i constantly set markers.

i turn mine on and off constantly. it's an invaluable tool if you have an SL that uses 'em.

the poll needs another option.

A different colour would be good - can't see it that well on certain maps with
fog/clouds.

I think its fine the way it is, if it gets in your way all you have to do is press ALT and it will disappear.

the circle would be good, but i dont need it now that in pr i know that the numbers are really right ontop of whatever is marked.. not the icon itself. But only moving numbers above, no thanks.

I leave it off (unless crewman), but check it on all the time. And not only because i got ALT bound to Mumble.
