Radar Idea....

I was reading the other radar thread, but my post has mostly or nothing to do with it. However, it does concern the middle radar.

Anyways, might there be a possible easy way for people to recognize boosting among teamates using the middle radar. Say, if you wanna boost the guy in front of you, instead of spamming endlessly, you can use the middle radar for something else, expanding its usefullness. I'm not to sure if jero is doing this already or is done.

My idea is, if you a certain vincinity of the person, say the radius inside the middle radar, you can spam boost once or twice, or some key can be associated with it and your teammate icon will start to blink in the middle radar and side radar.

An advanced player who usually knows the gameplay uses the radar ever so often. By making a dot on the radar blink more, you can signify that he/she wants some teamwork to happen.

My 2 CDN Cents....

most people already use middle radar for boosting and volleying.

Has been discussed long ago, and was dropped.

It would have to be a serverside thing (client side it would be without the ping and it would not be telling the truth), and checking this lots of times every second for every single player just takes too much performance!

client-side would be best option, but i think this is a good idea, alteast to help noobs learn better tactics early.

it would be too inaccurate, so it could be showing too boost, but actually the player is still too far away cause the ping is missing

no no

but then again, to an advanced player knowing when to boost shud become 2nd nature!

i agree with your idea , just feel maybe slight tweaking is involved, because a flashing radar to a noob, is useless as they are too busy concentrating on the ball anyway!!

The one thing that needs to be fixed about the middle radar, IMO, is to make the red people on it slightly more see-able (the dark grass on cube makes it almost impossible to see the red people around you but the blue ones show up fine...).

really?
i never had a problem with that, but I can change the color a little

problem with the middle radar is that it should be good viewable, but it should not be annoying and block your view or something
