Coloured markings.

[Rufert 146]

At the rate most of us are currently going through clothes, it's kind of hard to know friend from foe. 

 

I'd like it if the rags you can tear from clothes can retain the colour of the clothes. 

So my friend and I would be able to tie a red ribbon around our arms and know each other by this.

 

This would also allow gang colours and the like.

Actually a nice idea. Beanz!

I think this is a good idea, but rather than just rags, perhaps stiching and emblems could be created?

Already suggested, but still want to see this in game ^^

Oh sorry :(

Awesome idea! We should be able to use bandannas in several ways. Face mask, arm band, headband.

maybe also flags

Well my idea is pretty simple, this goes into a couple things that are off topic however revilent to me point. First of all name tags, yes, name tags. However not constent name tags for obvious reasons. My first point is there are servers I have found that say "No shooting on sight (sos)" or something of that nature, that said, there should be a name that shows up of who killed you. secondly that server would need to put up a website so we can list said person. That actually has nothing to do with this so let me get into my actual idea. Now I said name tags :D which is my idea however with a special way of working, first off if you put your dot on said person you have to press said button for there name tag to pop up (press it on the person not hold it cus then you can hold the button and sweep an area to find people) and I would also say implament that at said range it automaticaly pops up, so if they're say 5-10-15 feet away they have a name tag. mainly due to i can't tell if that person is part of my group or not and I LITTERALY just had an insadent when we found someone that seemed hostile while talking to us and my friend shot him, well my other frient shot HIM and so, I ended up being the last man standing. In my oppinion this shouldn't be an issue in a game like this and I do believe fixing it would be a game changing idea due to, well no one wants to play something they can't tell there friends apart in. ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)

i am totally against name tags since it makes sniping much easier. if you shoot your mate like i did yesterday your team needs just a better communication

[enforcer1975 1111]

And how far do you think will those emblems, patches of whatsoever be visible? Communication ensures 99% survival of the group because that's what prevents friendly fire.

I shot a teammate in the back once because he failed to tell that he was rushing across a field towards some other group and he kept yelling: There's a guy on the field running towards xxx" So i saw a guy in the field and shot...it was him.

This would be an excellent thing to put in standalone! Instead of having a hovering nameplate or indicator floating above ones head, why not just a simple arm band to tell friend from foe? Genius idea! It would be cool if you could tie the bands to your arms, legs, neck or head and possibly have multiple bands on each limb. Different colour combinations for different groups maybe. I sure hope a developer sees this.
