compass?

(nudels) #1

I really miss the compass from ET, so you can orient your friends were they have to go. Will it be a compass in the future?

Oh man, you really said something that is NEEDED. That compass was something unique. I think we need that, sometimes i can’t orientate myself through the maps (even if i learned every map so far), but a compass would really be awesome.

What is it needed for?

Well in ET it refers to the objective, Oasis for example, we have the north or south gun… In the DB map doom it wold be useful in the similar way to adress witch gate or witch object to attack/defend, “thew enemy is east of the aa-gun” “comming from south”. etc.

Yup, compass would be nice. Can be put on the minimap, just indicate there where N is.

Already on dome you have south&north gates, with no indication where north is.

The point is, having a combat situation without a compass and knowing, north, south, east and west directions is very hard, ask any military in the world, so why wouldn’t the game have one. Even Navy seals has compasses… and DB is a combat game am I right? It´s makes it a lot easier. In ET there were also a number, letter system on the maps making a sort of chessboard out of it, or an old school Atlas, that was also very helpful.

I mean, if you play on a random public game server, this might not be important, but me and my clanbuddies are looking for a competition team based game and playing mostly matchmaking games, in that situation it´s impotent to hold the talking to minimum and get the messages thru to your buddy’s. So for being this ultimate team based shooter SD want this game to be, I´m surprised that there isn´t a compass already in the game…

DB maps are linear enough that a compass isn’t needed. In competition you’re likely to know the map like the inside of your pocket

(Szakalot) #8

Its still a nice feature, and some people like it (me included). So if its possible to add it, please have it : )

(Nail) #9

still kinda doubt anyone would use/need it in competition

(nudels) #10

well we are three players in this thread… so yes it´s needed, I dont trhink we have seen all the maps yet, so how do you know that? its not that hard to code a compass´it takes like five minutes…

(Nail) #11

you may be confusing need with want, but that’s ok, either way is fine
nothing codes in 5 minutes, ever

(Souldriver) #12

It doesn’t hurt to put 4 letters on the map and/or radar. You don’t realise how helpful it is until you take it away. It happened in bfbc2 and me and my friends were like oh the enemyis coming from…that way?

I do agree that it can help certain players, this is a possibility that can be seen in the future.

Attacks can be geographically coordinated.
