But people can turn off my waypoints?  |
Every sniper who read that is dancing in the street. Many SLs think that their members are total idiots who will congregate EXACTLY where the WP is, so they plop it right on top of the base being attacked.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to see the enemy when you have BIG NEON ARROW in the middle of your field of fire? Snipers get screwed by their own SLs.
When I'm a SL, I look at the map, figure out where we're going to be attacking from and put the WP a little bit beyond the target (i.e. - if we're attacking from the south, the waypoint is put a ways north of Marduk, but in the SOI). They KNOW we're attacking Marduk, but that way the WP isn't totally killing the snipers in my squad.
In short, the only time an SL (currently) should EVER use exact waypoints is when it's critical to get the positioning right (AMS for instance). The bases and towers DON'T MOVE...general area works fine when accompanied by the text "target is Marduk"...if someone is so n00bish as to go EXACTLY where the WP is, do you really want them on your squad?
In short, marvelous change! Damned things can't get here soon enough.
