Flag identification

[shafik]

Is there no way of universally naming or numbering the flags? It doesnt even have to be ingame, maybe a sytem of numbering in a specific physical order, so when someone says "flag 2" everyone knows which flag he means. Just a thought. Might help some of the idiots running around.

Re: Flag identification

Try telling your squad members to rally at the suburbs. I bet some would actually log off and go look for you outside.

I was thinking of actual numbers or letters, eg. Flag 1 or Flag A.

Re: Flag identification

in scrims we number the flags 1-4 (usually scrimming on 16 player maps) - they're numbered from the northernmost flag (#1) then clockwise in direction...

but as far as pubbing goes, every flag has a name, just learn what they are called.... "construction site" "gas station" "power plant" etc.....

Re: Flag identification

How about if the name would be floating on the flag? Would this help?

Naturally. But this involves modifying the game, which is comlicated to say the least, and will probably will conflict with PB. I'm just thinking of an agreed upon system, just between players. Equally hard to accomplish, perhaps, but I'm hoping.

We usually either use the cardinal direction system or landmarks. For example, "The Northwest flag" or "The one with the oil towers."

Re: Flag identification

It'd be nice to have the flag names show up on 3dmap.

I like to play on servers that have more than 2 people to a team.

Re: Flag identification

I use cardinal directions. You can explain most the points that way.

The simplest solution would have been to have all the flags given a letter or number on the map. Would make it so much easier to say, "go to B" than "go to the southern most of the western flags".

Like he said. The easiest way to leanr them is by their names. Go buy the Primo guide or search for online game guides. Learning them by the real names is easiest, considering that they all are named like they actually look like.
