aaah! See

Nothing to worry about

Good solution right there.

so... are the markers completely gone, or just the numbers displaying the range below them ?

Hmm. This sounds like possibly the biggest overall change for 0.95. And you guys just snuck it out

No one's confirmed or denied it as yet ... pure conjecture from us.

How about an R-DEV (The powerfull Chuc no less!) on Page 2 saying that they've added a calculator for squad-leaders but the squad-members just need to guess? I'd say that pretty much proves the idea ZephyrDark found in that screenshot.

I think they're keeping the 3D Markers but just removing the "rangefinding" ability of them.

This is one of those changes that I will cry "THIS WILL RUIN PR FOREVER" about, then get used to it and think how I ever lived before. I hope. Also, this might make the players get to know the individual maps better, as they'll be looking at the map and calculating distances and whatnot a lot more.

i hope its only the range and not the hole marker... if its the hole marker BOOOOO its so hard to tell someone 125 2nd story 3rd window to the right, i still want my 125 on the marker because his 125 might be diff than my 125 as we are not on the same spot
