Friendlies on maps.
Posted: 2008-09-20 00:19
I been thinking that we take the first step removing de minimap from infantry's HUD. Now we may be ready to take realism further.
My idea is remove the friendly soldiers from all maps, except commanders and vehicles.
Which's the logic?
1- The past/last modifications make squads go more tight than before. So we don't see much infantry going alone. We can promote navigation (use of coordinates, distances, and enviroment references), wich is very used in the armies. We can finally get squads being squads.
2- Commander's role is fundamental in 0.8, but no indispensable. I've seen rounds in massive servers without commander. Now if squads can't speculate with their teammates movements, they will be forced to work with a commander that makes them coordinate. Only commanders will be able to warn squads about other squads positions and make them work acordingly and safely.
This will improve commanders role to Mission Control Operators.
In the other hand, this may hurt gameplay. But it's a matter of get used to it, just like when minimap has gone. I want to know your opinions.
Please mantain respect and don't distort the thread.
