Calling/warning other players

Postby darkstar 1 » 5 January 2016, 22:15

So, if you press some keys at the keyboard, there appears a frame above the player to ask other players for guns/help/...
Would really help the teamplay.

Im bad at explaining this, so I hope the images are a better explaination for this idea :(

Asking for guns or medic help.

Warning friendly players for danger, or show your teammates the location of enemies.

I thought that you meant something else by "calling and warning" People as an in-Game Message that announces People that a Warning has been issued on their Account or a Friend PM'd them.

Anyway, I like this Idea since it would consume less Time to do Things and, since this is a Fast-Paced Game at Times, Time is Essence. Also, "an Image can be equal to 1000 Words" in certain Situations.

Any thoughts on how would this work?

Are those images taken from a number of pre-existing ones (which may be not enough in certain situations), or it's possible to show custom images (which would be abused greatly)?
Would those pics be displayed to everyone, or teammates only? (well, that's probably a dumb question)
Wouldn't there be too much choice of pictures? It may be easier to write an actual message instead of searching for the needed pic.
etc

It's definitely interesting and it looks really cool, but maybe it's a little complex and unnecessary, we already have the team chat which allows you to warn your teammates of literally anything.

Yes, but just pressing one button is easier than open the chat and ask for help.
And its easier to show the location (in a big map) of an enemy player.

But yeah, it isn't very necessary :)

Other problems are the big gun signs covering up parts of your screen and making you miss enemy players, or people spamming the warning system to essentially blind you. If someone spams the team chat, you can still play, but this ... You see what I mean?

All the problems I listed before, but also ...

Lots of people barely have time to type in a fast-paced match, so how would they be able to use this? It would leave them too vulnerable to attack and you'd end up with servers full of people stopping every 5 seconds to give some warning.

How about assigning thwm to a button like F1 then if you keep pressing the Ping button then there will be a Command Ban for 10 Seconds and additional 2 Seconds if he tried to press it while he is banned

Bro, your visuals are game worthy, SERIOUSLY!

Excellent my friend, and I'm on board as well.

First of all, the picture sold me, yes, but the concept behind it isn't so bad as well.
Communicating with players swiftly on another level like asking for a weapon in the click of a button would be perfect instead of having them just awkwardly walk past your bleeding body.

And also, maybe when you click the "HELP" button, an alert pops up on that player's screen.
Just spitballing more ideas.

Great one though!

With respect, insight, and choice,

...those are my thoughts.

It would be cool to show other signs. For danger, you give an exclamation mark. If you need backup, you will have have a group of allies behind a character helping. For Fall back, you will have an image sorta like a stick figure running. does those help? It would also help to have a cool down for each, for maybe 20 seconds.

There should be other calls and warnings like this:

1. "Taking heavy fire!" - Call for teammates that you are under fire

2. "I'm in position." - Call for teammates that you are taking the watch over them.

3. "Fire in the hole!" or "Frag out!" - Warning for teammates that you are gonna throw explosives.

4. "Sniper!" - Warning for teammates that there is an enemy sniper in position.

5. "Ambush!" - Warning for teammates that you have been ambushed by incoming enemy group.

6. "You lead the way." - Call for teammate that he/she should lead the way for you and your team.

7. "Grenade!" or "Hit the deck!" - Warning for teammates that a grenade was thrown at you.

8. "Enemy teleported!" - Warning for teammates that your enemy teleported in an unknown location.

9. "Friendly fire!" and "Hey, stop that!" - Warning for a teammate who is doing a teamkill by blowing explosives at you.

10. "Chopper inbound!" - Call for teammates that the chopper have arrive to help kill the strong enemies.

11. "Enemy chopper, take cover!" - Warning for teammates that the enemy chopper is ready to fire at you and your team.


And extra things if you need something:

1. "Sector clear!" - Confirming if the place is empty, no hostiles available.

2. "Roger that!" or "Affirmative!" - Following orders.

3. "Negative!" - Another thing for saying no.

4. "GO GO GO!" - For making your teammates make their pace or movement.

5. "Storm the front!" - For telling your teammates that they should attack the front sector of the place.

6. "Pick up that ammo!" & "Hey, ammo!" - For telling your teammates that there is ammunition pickup available.

7. "Hey, power yourself up!" & "Power charge is here, get it quick!" - Telling your teammates that there is jetpack refuelling pickup available.
