As we know the command tools in ps2 are few and those that exist have issues, e.g. command voice chat scrambles brains.
So I have a suggestion. The key to this is: 1) Easy to use 2) Does not provide too much information, does not do too much hand-holding and specifically give no information about the enemy, we have enough even too much already. 3) Simple to implement and let's face it developer time is at a premium and if it is too difficult it won't get done this decade. The feature is this. Provide a new map showing the locations of platoon waypoints, simply that. It would be viewable by everyone but obviously only updatable by platoon leaders. The appearance I envisage would emulate the 'plotting board' used in WW2 air ops - I don't know if you've seen the film Battle of Britain but something like that. However, to ease the development it could also be an additional filter on the existing mapping. What good would it do? Well, if you're attacking VS held Hvar from the North and you see that NC are making a big push towards the Mao region you can see which platoons are responding and so have better information on whether you need to relocate or not. What would be shown? Simple a representation of the Platoon waypoint. It could be the same at a marker on google maps, a bubble with a downwards pointer and in the bubble it would have the outfit abbreviation and possible the numbers in the platoon could be shown to indicate strength. Why allow everyone to see it, it should be platoon leader only? Why not allow everyone to see it, why not allow your squad members to be informed? Besides, the workload on platoon leaders is too much already we shouldn't pile more onto them. Any thoughts? |
