Intel Icon

[BlizzardDUCK]

The other team shouldn’t see thier Intel icon when the opposing team has it. I thought i was hiding right after i stole it. But they found me because they knew where i was hiding. It makes it too difficult to steal an intel. Please change it back to the old way where if they dont have it, they cant see it

I actually prefer it this way.

In the old days you could do barely nothing if you're at the frontline assault and an enemy steals your intel which is at your base without any guarding.
Now you know where he comes from and can stop him, usually a bit late, but atleast do something. This many times leads to heated battles focused on the intel instead of points and ratio. This is especially good in pubs.

What I dont like is that you can see him ALL THE TIME.Maybe make him disappear from the map if he stops moving,or the marker updates every 3 seconds.

Well if something gets stolen from your house, you dont know where it is, you have to track it down. When its in your house you know where it is. It makes it too hard to tunnel out with an intel because you cannot dig fast enough

Ever tried making the tunnel ready and then taking the intel?

Well I already posted on the thread on the other forum, so I'll post again;

It is already too hard to catch people with the intel if they just leg it. Imagine trying to catch them if you don't even know where they are. Intel stealing would be ridiculously easy and require no skill. At least this way you have to actually kill persurers, the few that are ahead of you that is.

I usually just kill everyone and walk in and grab the intel, then I leg it and no one can catch me.

I agree with this dude.
If the GMs removed the intel icon, the game would become somewhat broken.
It would not be fun, if you would not know where is your intel,
and this would ELIMINATE any possibility of recovering it.


=======================
Can we please get a "topic closed" of some sort?

I like the way it is, it feels like the whole server is chasing you ^^

[USABxBOOYO]

Lol @ GMs

So how about if the Intel icon blinked every 5 seconds, that way you would know where it is, and it would be hidden sometimes

Seems unnecessary and annoying :I

On a semi-related note I would like the icon to change when picked up - it is a bother if you are not sure if the intel is taken - seeing at a glance would be nice rather than having to /intel, ask your team, or trying to figure out if you missed a message or not.

[Moghard]

Probably because this, we cant see our stolen intel! I dont liek u :(

[Wambotrot]

God forbid anybody play some defense. Instead we'll just let an icon tell us their every move.

Seriously though, the icon is kinda lame.
