I think that communication system should be developed more
I think this game would benefit much more if the communication system would be developed.
- I suggest the possibility for commander to assign tasks for particular squads using marker system. And the squad leader should be able to acknowledge the order.
How should it work? Commander can just assign a „defend”, „attack”, „place garrison” and similar markers to particular squads. „Squad H defend”. „Squad D attack”.
Why? The commander chat can be soo chaotic. It’s easy to miss information. And detailed information takes a lot of time to communicate. This passes the information faster, without additional noise in commander chat, and it is more precise. Acknowledgement on the other hand is useful, to let the commander know if they can expect order to be done.
- New markers: enemy supplies, enemy nodes. They should also have possibility to be assigned to squads. This way commander can send someone to dismantle supplies and nodes
Optionally: enemy machine gun nest
Ammo refill spot markers. It’s just a marker placed by commander to communicate where it wants for soldiers to place standard and explosive ammo boxes. Then both support players knows where to put ammo and others where to look for it. I know that ammo is rarely refilled, but now if you really need it, usually you can’t find it.
I suggested some time ago a system for medic, where the wounded player can decide to request help or give up. This way medic only sees players who really want help and it can confirm (or deny) the will to revive depending on possibilities.
