Problem:
It's easy to lose track of a buddy. For example, a spontaneous wingmate you're flying with
that's not in your squad.
Solution - Add "Track Friendly" to Quick Action menu
* Direction indicator shows where Tracked Friendly is when off screen.
* Behind walls, the Tracked friendly displays as a silhouette.
The dev team for Left 4 Dead learned this works very well to locate buddies
The But's:
- "But you can just look at the minimap."
- After a certain distance friendlies update sporadically on the minimap, and then disappear altogether.
- In large groups, all those tanks/planes/automobiles look alike, which is your newfound buddy?
- After a heated battle with an opponent, you've lost all track of your buddy
- "But you can just add the guy to your squad."
- You can't if the guy's already in a squad, and you both just happen to be fighting back-to-back for 20 minutes.
- At times its hard to even keep track of individual squad members.
