Hey developers and other players. I’ve been playing this game for two days and I already fell in love with it, however i found one major issue.
See this? If yes, then that’s weird, because it’s non existent. Every allied solider is just a marker. No matter if it’s a player, an AI, sniper or an engineer. All of them look the same. This makes coordination much harder, because you can get knowledge only of the squad you’re nearby to by for example seeing what weapons they are using or their uniform. Here is my concept of how it could be fixed:
With my very basic a r t skills, I made this, it’s not perfect by any means, but I hope it gives the general idea I had in mind.
Here, you can see each squad’s icon, which helps by a lot. For instance, you can see how much of each squad you got on battlefield. If there’s 5 sniper squads, it would be a bad idea of taking seventh, and instead take something providing fire power. Another thing that it will help with, is locating specialists. If there’s engineer team, you can much more accuratelly guess if there’s an ammo box, because they’ll probably build one.
I also think that there should be somewhere an option in setting that would allow to change this overlay between:
- “Squad” - it would make the map look like the one above
- “Specialist” - it would change every marker to the icon of what class soldier is
- “None” - turns of the overlay, basically what we have currently
I hope this suggestion makes sense and it would be taken into consideration, because for a game that heavilly depends on team and it’s coordination, not having this functionality is a big issue, if not a flow.
Thank you everyone for reading this, i hope you’ll have a nice day.
