Movement Waypoints
Posted: 2008-01-30 00:27
Any way a waypoint feature could be implemented on the tactical map?
If I had to choose one thing that was most annoying about being an SL, it would be that you can't have more than one point (defend, attack, move, etc.) on your tactical map at any point. It would be useful to be able to say "Alright squad, we're gonna move to waypoint 1 and set up an RP, then move to attack the flag" instead of having a marker from the commander's orders pop up on your map, and then you're sitting back describing where you want your boys to go.
Don't get me wrong; I don't think this is a huge deal, but I think it would be a useful feature, which would reflect the real life training of soldiers--they generally know how to use maps (and it seems that a lot of the time, my squad's best intentions don't necessarily recreate that map reading skill, nor do my map descriptions).
