In real life when looking at something, or telling my specialist to rope up this "marked" building is easier.
In real life, i can point with my arm, i cant do that in PR.

Also the limited types of buildings also gets in the way. Most look alike, but they would be more diverse irl to get the point across while talking with other squad members.

Or when all members have the map open and I explain our assault, i can place markers to tell ppl what we are going to do, like again, pointing with my finger irl.


A compromise would be keep the 3d markers, but remove the range.

they only took out the 3d marker you see when your map is closed, but all markers are visible to all squad members in your group when their map is open. so ... yea .... we really are at OMG forum alert level ....

You remove the distances on the markers, it not only slows down games but also makes the games more difficult for new players who have a hard time judging distance purely sight. PLUS; this game is like soldiers DON"T get trained. They'd be trained to judge distances fairly accurately anyway. That should be part.
