Look right next to the compass. There are built-in callouts right there.

Now be a dear and

Or, just use cardinal directions. It’s a quick and easy way to call direction since the Age of Sail!

The map knowledge required to play this game proficiently is an order of magnitude greater than any game I can think of. It will be interesting to see if the community advances to the point where every notable position has a community-accepted callout ala the Counter-Strike maps.

E: maybe it already is like that. I'm pretty new.

Not that my group uses half of these, we have our own stupid pet names.

The other half we don't have a name for at all.

The game needs a feature where if you say "he's right there" into a microphone, it punches you right in the face in real life.

Yeah the individual rooms are easy to call out, but I was thinking more like one word callout a for places in each room. Some rooms it's not necessary but others are pretty complex. I guess you can just add a East/west direction to the callout and thats good enough 95% of the time.

Press your ping button too. Saying "Cav is over there" is fairly useless on its own but if they can see a yellow thing right at the spot you're talking about it becomes a lot more useful.

I don't know callouts so I rely heavily on "<operator> at ping" and cardinal directions.

I mean I took the screenshot so I could attach it to the report I filed because I didn't have a timestamp for when the match happened, not because I wanted them to live forever in infamy

Always feels like if you just shoot over the top of non-monty-extended shields, you get headshots. Happened to me a few times as blackbeard, too, but I don't know if his shield is actually big enough to cover the whole head. No idea if it is just lag compensation stuff or the shields are actually not tall enough.

There's a few like "trashcan" on chalet's garage (popular cover under the stairs for attackers pushing inside the objective) and white van on consulate's garage. Other than that I can only think of the "bed" call-outs in bedrooms on some maps.

Well most of the time it comes down to the fact that people will be in one or two hiding spots, and if you approach from one angle you can see one of them. The Armory Lockers on Border have a few hiding places, but we usually call em out "behind the lockers" , "in janitors" "main door" and "balcony entrance". But this is an exception, most of the rooms are simple enough that "room name" callout will be enough.

Can confirm, I had to do a complete lap around Chalet last night to bust a shield blocking the trophy window. The exploit is dirt cheap and needs to be addressed. It has been allowed for too long, IMO.

They have addressed it by saying that it's intentional and they're leaving it as it is.

Well, it's banned in pro league but allowed in ESL. Somewhat unclear. I thought they'd officially made a statement but I can't find one - but that could easily be up to their horrible forums software.
