Marker Strobe

[HaloWarLord711]

So this is my idea...


Every time I'm playing on Normandy I tell people there is a enemy in that house in d4 (this is an example)
and they say which one? And I can't really be very specific because I died and was inside the house, so I'm not sure which house exactly.

And so I thought, what if we had some sort of grenade or something that would let them know which one.

I was thinking maybe a strobe light that only your team could see and and it would flash every 1 second or so, almost like the tactical insertion does in Black Ops, and you simply select it aim at a area you want to mark, and fire it.

It would stick to the wall or ceiling and flash, maybe then your team would know where to look.

And to avoid spam, you can have 3 per life and they don't go away after death but when you respawn and fire another, it removes one of the others that you fired before.

Maybe it could look something like this




Just a simple idea I though up.

I like this +1

You could also mark it with brightly colored bricks.
I put 4 green/blue and border it with white to mark locations.
Although I like this feature I don't think strobe is the way to do it, Maybe mark it on the map.

^ I think marking it on the map is definitely the way to go. Possibly also a chat notification?

As to the block marking, it is impossible to tell what the blocks mean. also, they are not especially visible on the map, take time being exposed to place, and teamwork isn't really prevalent in the game anymore.

This could also be subject to a lot of spam.

However, I like the idea overall, especially as it could encourage teamwork to come back.

well what if you could draw on the map, to like, circle the guy, then the circle fades away.

Are you referring to the enemy spotting script on Sham's LP?

no, no when I attempt to tell my team mates where a very good sniper is they just ignore me.
but if there was a strobe there MAYBE they would understand.

and I've never tried the spotting script that might be better then what i suggested

I'm a little worried about the strobe because it may cause seizures.

I don't mean a rave party strobe but something that flashes once a second, and not like a really bright flash
almost like a little pale wave that comes from it, just something to get peoples attention.

Oh, Ok.
I was thinking of it being marked on map ( Team colored ) and having the strobe flash slowly. but will the enemy be able to find and destroy these?

yeah it would be marked on the map, and an enemy could see it on the block and shoot it or spade it to kill it
