Fireteams + team overlay

(O2.iceman) #1

Please can this be addressed for the next patch.

Fireteams should be allowed to have 8-10 players in them (instead of the max of 6 atm). If the default team sizes is going to be 8on8, then you should be able to have your entire team in the fireteam.

Why?

Because the team overlay wins! Just like the standard RtCW, team overlays are extremely important to identify your teammates’ locations and health. The fireteams also have some additional voice chat commands which are very good.

The other option:

Allow clients to turn on the standard team overlay (like normal RtCW) even when you’re not in a fireteam. I can’t see any reason why you would’ve taken it out. They are the most important thing in RtCW clan matches, and I just can’t understand why you would disable such an important feature.

Also allow the FT voice chats to be used when not in a fireteam, and you just simply use a different bind if you want the chat to go your fireteam or the entire team.

I’m sure it’s an extremely simple fix for both options above:

  1. Allow fireteams to have more players in them
  2. Give clients the option of a team overlay, whether they are in fireteam or not.

While we’re on the subject of the fireteam overlay… I wonder whether it was a deliberate design decision to have to reselect your fireteam members (using the keypad numbers 1-6) each time a map starts? I find it a PITA to have to do this for each map, can’t think of any reason why it would be useful to have them all default to off for a new map.

on;ly point of putting your entire team in a fireteam is so u can see their health, with command map you see everyones location, fireteams are for pointing out certian players from the team marking them on compass and marking them with a white circle on command map thats its purpose to differentiate certian players from the others.

Helltoupee - have you tried using the numpad 1-6 keys to highlight your fireteam members? I only discovered this recently, and believe me it works wonders.
