How do you know when your inside the flag radius?

Post by zman060204 »

As the title states, how do you know when your inside the capping radius of the flag? I'm new to the community and haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks.

Press caps lock (default map key) and top right hand corner you'll find a bar with a blue side and a red side if your in the cap radius.

If you aren't in the radius, you'll only see your teams flag in the upper right corner.
Just remember, you can't see if the enemy is capping until the flag has become neutralised (goes grey).

Most flags will have a measurement of their radius in their title (IE, 'Objectvie 57 200m') which represents the radisu within which one can cap the flag. If you've got a marker right on the flag, then if you're within the same distance to it or closer than the radius states then you'll cap it (assuming you have at least 2 players with you and outnumber the enemy).

If flas don't have a distance marked for whatever reason or you're still not sure if you're close enough (because of no markers lets say), then when you've got your squad screen open (default caps lock) then you'll have a bar showing in which favour the flag is capping if you ARE within the flag radius.

Xavo has it sorted. You can also use "M" to bring up your regular macromap, which will also show the flag at the top right of the screen :) As long as you have a flag there, you're in a radius.

(it can sometimes bug out though and not show you... in this case ask your squad leader to put a marker on the flag cap and then read on the map how large the radius is (150-300m) and get within that range of the marker)

M is default map-key :p
Caps lock is the default squad-viewing menu :p

Press up yellow button and your fairy will tell you... duh


(disclaimer... that was a joke; although I'm mildly considering the suggestions forum)
