Right, so we've all got ideas for weapons and mechs, even maps. What about making player communication easier?
Here's the initial idea: with a dedicated button you would launch a flare in the direction you're watching, which creates a trail of colored smoke. Different colors could mean different things, like 'Enemy over here' or 'Attack' or 'Ambush' or something. This would basically be a more visual implementation of the enemy spotting and requesting help mechanic.
If you're in an open location: shoot the flare up for everyone to see. If you're in a corridor: launch it across the floor and make it skip around corners so your team can see it. Smoke would be only slightly opaque so it doesn't subtract from vision and dissipate in a few seconds.
Would this item just be spammed non-stop? Does HAWKEN even need it? Are there other, better ways to improve non-verbal communication with your team? Feel free to share.
Cheers,
Freeze
