Squad up with your Friends

Today i've played NS2 the first time with a friend...
We got really fast splitted and had different spawn-cycles multiple times, so it was very difficult to play together.

So i thought i would be nice if friends where colored in an other tone and maybe the cmd get squads to choose and command, so he can manage the predefined teams better.

    Hi, first of all welcome to the forum.

    I numbered your post so it's easier for me to comment on different points.

    1. The best way to play with friends is to have a voice chat session (via teamspeak , mumble etc.), to organize yourself use roomname. E.g. "guys let's met up in Y-Junction to push into Cargo". Those "Squads" can be really powerfull and win rounds.

    2. Was allready suggested multiple times. Yet it's not a must-have and could be done by a modder.

    3. It's allready possible for the commander to group different ppl, just giving ppl feedback in which group they are is kinda hard in pubs. Specially when half of the team doesn't even cares about what the commander tells them :D

    Thanks

    1.We were on TS, but the game is sometime so fast that it would be nice tho have him/them in sight and while you are moving to his position, he is already elsewhere.

    3.I don't think the CMDs want to manage such "problems" every game.

    2."Colorcodeing" can be done by the devs, so it isn't a half done thing need to be installed by the user.

    It should improve the overall quality of the game especially for players with friends :)

    I would like a small icon on the map over a position of someone in your friend list.
    Or press tab and click someone's name to highlight him on the map.
