Having numbered control points on the Missile Assault game mode is a bad idea.

When calling targets on points its too many numbers for some people to compute.

Example (over comms) "2 incoming on 3" or "3 incoming on 2" could easily get mixed up.

By making the points letters, it clears up alot of confusion.

"2 incoming on charlie" and "3 incoming on bravo" are easily distinguished.

Please change the control point numbers to letters.

Thanks,
Cest7.

Three numbers are hard to compute for some people? Huh? What makes saying (one, two, or three) any more confusing then saying "bravo, charlie, alpha" or whatever?

Sorry, I'm just not following your logic.

I know what he's getting at, over mic saying 2 enemy coming in at missile silo 3 in shortspeak, i.e. 2 coming into 3, may be confusing in the heat of battle whereas 2 coming into Charlie is not confusing at all.

"2 inc" could mean either "two people incoming on my position" or "I'm at point 2 and I have enemies incoming". Just one example off the top of my head on how it might end up being unclear in the heat of battle. If they were letters instead of numbers then "2 inc" can only mean "two people incoming" and "A inc" can only mean "I'm at A and people are shooting holes in my face please send help ohgod ohgod" :P

Or just put S in front of the point name, since it's there anyway.
Two incoming on S1, for example.  Since it's in the game anyway, pretty sure.

I just call out S1, S2 and S3 as well. :)

(I don't mean to necro threads, I'm just almost always running behind.  My apologies)
