        Have you ever actually clicked on Shuri's sig link? It's a joke man. oh the irony! Let me know when you understand the punchline. Until then you should keep your mouth shut. We don't need that kind of hostility in our community. After all, he was just mistaken. A simple correction would have sufficed rather than a flame.

            I think you have the wrong guy. Shurikane's been playing for a while and knows what he's doing. I know that I myself have had instances where I've blown up a friendly beacon by mistake because it didn't show as friendly.

            If it's near a flag/silo that we already own, I kill it just to be sure.

              As far as I'm concerned, I sometimes get the green icon when I look at a beacon - even the ones that are on my team's own Titan, so obviously belonging to the enemy - and inversely, I sometimes don't get the icon even though a teammate has freshly podded in.

                So what you are saying is that it could be some of DICE's bugs.

                Well OK that would figger.

                  There's no reliable way to tell. Best way is just to wait till someone pods down on it.

                  If you're going to ask for help, try not calling everyone that tries to help a noob. :)

                    I think i have my answer why beacons always get blown up now, it would seem like alot of players ( noobs and high rankers ) don't know if the beacon if friendly or enemy, and don't want to risk leaving it there and blow it up instead.

                    Some players have trouble seeing the green icon that pops up when you put your crosshair on the beacon, could this possibly be a bug or could it be because the player has pressed left ALT and in doing so all icons and flag markers have gone from the screen untill left ALT is pressed again.

                      sometimes the colors don't show. sometimes you just can't tell when it's hidden in a bush or some other obstacle. some people who run really low res, can't tell. it happens.
