Draco122 412 Posted January 2, 2015 Something I thought might be handy and something of an ingame tag system to identify friendlies is to spray paint a torn rag and wear it on the persons arm. Just an idea on easier ways to identify friendly units operating in a group, especially if they run alongside similar looking gear. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sachad 1016 Posted January 2, 2015 Seems unnecessary. I've never had trouble telling friends from foes. There's tons of ways you can achieve the same thing with existing in-game items. Wear the same boots, or same color backpack, or same head gear. Paint your weapons the same color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wear the same boots, or same color backpack, or same head gear. Paint your weapons the same color. And yet there have been a few instances where I've run into a guy wearing the exact same gear I was or one of our team-mates we're fighting and have one of our guys accidently shoot me in the confusion. I've even run alongside what was thought to be a low geared squad and none were the wiser to who i was. Its a simple suggestion, simply being able to spray paint torn up rags from a T-shirt for a quick indentification of a friendly team-mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like you need teammates with better composure and decision making skills, rather than colored rags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claws4life 99 Posted January 2, 2015 just gotta make sure the spraypaint doesn't cause infection when you use the rags :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freshmen 28 Posted January 2, 2015 Isn't that already kind of on the roadmap? They plan that you can attach bandanas and stuff to your arms. Like all wear green, or all wear black patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly that and some of us don't have goliath machines that can run everything on ultra high while some of us like to be play at max frames while in the cities 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sachad 1016 Posted January 2, 2015 Not everyone is able to play at 4K resolution, for people like me who are playing at 720P, those coloured objects do make a difference. Here's a screenshot from my computer. Does that look like 4K to you? Here's another tip: If you're not sure if the guy you're aiming at is friend or foe, don't shoot him.

ToySmokes 116 Posted January 2, 2015 Well why not just make the rags have the same color as the shirt had that you tared apart? Realiaticly a red shirt wouldn't become white because you made rags of it right. It would probably be red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
