Confusing: Rally Point Stacking
Posted: 2008-01-01 20:05
Problem:
Squad leaders are placing their rally points too close to other rally points and/or firebases/bunkers. As a result, it becomes nearly impossible to determine the correct rally marker on the map and squad members / teammates are unnecessarily spawning back at base.
While this was somewhat of an issue in .6, you also had the option to spawn on your "green" spawn leader. With SL spawning removed, so is the easily identifiable green marker.
Suggestion (SL's):
Place your rally point at least 20 meters away from another rally point and/or team firebase/bunker rally point so that your rally is easily identifiable from other rally points in the area.
Suggestions (Devs):
Is it possible to place the text identifier directly next to the white spawn marker At present, the text floats somewhat up and away from the marker it is linked to. This is fine for single spawn markers, but multiple spawns in the same location make it impossible to separate them.
And/or...
Simultaneously highlight the text and marker (not just the marker)?
And/or...
Color-code the marker/text based on the squad number? (For example, squad 1=green, squad2=yello, etc.)
And/or...
When a rally point is selected, the text appears in a designated part of the screen that identifies which rally point you have selected.
