Clan Armbands or clothing

[KroganCommander 3]

This has been a big issue to me. How can a group identify itself or the individuals within it as their own? I'm sure many have come across this issue where you are with a group of people, say in your clan or friends, and you are going to meet up somewhere or split up and then meet back up at some time, and you run into randoms that you don't know if they are with you or not. The processes now to weed them out can be long and tedious even with coms like TS3. So I was wondering, why can't the mod or the stand alone have things like armbands, headbands, shoulder pads, etc that have different colors and symbols on them to give to your group so you know who is who. These articles of clothing would have to be found in the world and vary in both what they are and where you can find them. Such as shoulder pads with a specific regiment logo can be found in a box, of say 12 pads, in a box or rucksack at a military spawn area. Also something like head bands or bandanas that aren't as unique in different varieties of colors but more common to find are in residential areas or super markets. I'm just tossing this out here on the forums and would like to hear your suggestions or ideas on something like this. Safe living and Cheers! ^.=.^

This makes way too much sense...

Something like this?

I'd take it.

P.S. It's hard to find a good armband image. The Gnatzies kinda killed the fad. But yeah, I'd take a brightly collored armband over a potential friendly bullet between the bumcheeks.

Hello there

The armband ability is already built into arma.

But it's just not enabled/programmed for many of the classes. Especially the civvies. But it IS doable and indeed works on vehicles and on *some* infantry armbands.

A good idea and should come along with a more indepth character 'creation' and customization. I like that you'd have to find them and don't just get them another thing might be you could find stuff to custumize your insignia.

That makes sense and maybe to customize your own you would have to find a kit of some sort to do so and maybe some blank armbands and you could make more instead of finding them.

I think armbands would be awesome! I can't count how many times I have killed one of my friends, reason being I still haven't found an officiant way to identify teammates within the game.

Here is another thought to think about.

Would you allow, or disallow being able to take off the articles of clothing off of dead bodies and then putting them on yourself?

Let me know what you think.

I think that Rocket has already stated that he will expand upon factions and if so, he will have to do something about identification be it armbands, headgear or camo patterns.

But yeah, for mod armbands would do perfectly.

I like the idea of being able to ID players and there clans. When you can't ID them in any way. They become faceless and nameless. I personally would like to know who killed me for future reference. I also would like to know what clan he was in so when he jacks me and I see his clan later I can jack his members.

Good stuff like that.
