drawing on map

[wraithverge]

are team leaders still going to be able to draw on the game map for their team? I haven't heard anything about this, but I always thought it was very amusing some of the things people did, and when it was used for actual strategy it was often very useful. IE. Join reaver squad, check map, ok, everyone binds at this base, attacking this base, AA heavy emplacements at this point.

I don't know, we haven't seen it yet. It does seem like a useful tactical tool.

Hey, just throwing this out there as an idea, but what are your thoughts on making it part of the squad leader certs? Make it so it's the first or second thing unlocked, of course. I was just thinking about it and wondering how much of the squad leader stuff would be given right out and how much would have to be earned.

this was already stated to be a feature on AGN last week.

[JHendy]

This is a must for squad/platoon/outfit leaders in my opinion, and a big step up from simply placing waypoints.

Yes please.

[wraithverge]

@berzerkerking awesome thanks!

lol but in all fairness, when done right it could be an amazing tool (pun was totally unintended) to use

you forgot to mention giant peinus that got drawn when the SL had to swap leadership for a second.

i would love to see it make a come back in PS2 (the drawing on the map not the giant peinus) and if it did it would probably be a low to mid level command cert (once again the drawing on the map not the giant peinus)

Shame on me for missing it then. Cool news :D

Then to counter that make it so that you can block people from drawing, majority vote thing, or just press a button and the one person cant be seen drawing on the map. Many ways to combat this.

Exactly! Only high level command certs should allow for the display of giant penis art. :cool:

Though seriously I do like the idea of the tool. As for the penis people, We should be allowed to block a persons drawing. Similar to /ignore

Well when weather is implemented people will need to know which way the wind is blowing...

[Jaegen]

It seems like a great idea. I'd like to see some tools for it as well, like designated icons and symbols for LZs, types of enemies, etc.

[Zekeen]

We're going to see drawing on maps, I believe Higby has spoken on it before, so we got a rather high chance of it appearing. There's no reason not to and every reason to, and it's not hard to add.

Sweet rocket ship!

[Shogun]

drawing on maps was cool in ps1.

i don´t see a problem if it returns!
just make the drawings a toggle in mapview so we can switch penii or plain stupid fullscreen drawings off and see the map clean.

and i am sure this ability will be a commander cert, and only the actual squadleader will be able to draw on the map for his squad, just like it was in ps1.
it´s not that everybody can draw a penis on everyone elses maps for trolling.

[PvtHazard]

The amount of tactical possibilities that could be created with being able to draw on the map is astounding. I hope to see something like this in the game adding a new level of depth to the game.

[Nephilimuk]

Terrans don't have penises that big or at all according to some NC fact finding missions!!!

Joking aside I loved the feature in PS1 even though most of the time it degraded into "Tizzoz Waz Ere"

We already know what corporations are like for lying to people ;)

Saying NC freedom fighters are corporate lackeys is like saying the OWS is a corporate conspiracy cause you see them walking around with iPhones and North Face jackets :p




Also if it is implemented how it was in PS1, the drawings were only done by squad/platoon leaders and could only be seen by their squad/platoon.

[Nasher]

Lol. I think the only thing I saw drawn on the map on PS1 were penises, sheep and smily faces.
