Make Squad Leaders easier to spot.
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Change the SL's b12 Armour to a more eye catching colour/appearance (for example white) to allow for marines to be able to track the movements of their SL's more easily.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It will allow marines to identify and follow their squad leaders even in the heat of battle, and will cut down on confusion that can occur. While squad leaders currently have different looking Armour it is still sometimes difficult to distinguish between them and other standard marines. This leads to squads splitting up and being unable to function effectively, especially during firefights when attention is focused else- where.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
See above.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Changing the base colour of the b12 leader Armour from the green it is now to another, potentially brighter, colour. I am suggesting white initially but as ever input would be appreciated.

Re: Make Squad Leaders easier to spot.
I would say, make it white with the squads color in the middle, EG: Charlie squad leader would have a vertical yellow line going across the middle.

Or just implement something like the sec hud but instead have a S for squadmembers

Re: Make Squad Leaders easier to spot.
I was thinking that the squad colours and markings would be retained, however the base colour (Currently the same green as the M3 Armour) would be changed so that the SL is easy to spot but is still recognisable as being from a certain squad.Cobraman202 wrote:I would say, make it white with the squads color in the middle, EG: Charlie squad leader would have a vertical yellow line going across the middle.

+1
Currently our SL's look like normal squad members with two lines instead of one.
Make them way more distinctive, hell, reverse their color scheme so the armor is colored with white stripes.

Re: Make Squad Leaders easier to spot.
I frequently play squad leader. I would much rather squaddies have a HUD compass icon that points them at their squad leader than make me even more easily targeted by aliens. However brightening the white stripes would be useful.

Re: Make Squad Leaders easier to spot.
Some form of marine HUD would be a big benefit, more then simple visual markings, I'm with Nikov/sirnat on this one.

This would not only help marines be more organized, but would also help aliens spot out commanding staff easier. I like it, +1.
