Its not tough to memorize the skins which everyone should have done by now. Also use communication, call it out to see if it happens to be a teamate.

ya you won't have any team-killing problems if you use your radar, that's what it's there for!

Being that I'm in a tactical clan and always know where my teammates are, sometimes the immature members run off. I usually check my radar every few seconds and always when I see somebody.

I've had several instances where the blue dot did NOT show up. I definitely use my radar as much as possible though, when time permits. I've never gotten angry over being team killed. Hey, it happens people. It's not the end of the world. I do usually razz the person for a minute if I do get team killed though, but it's all in good fun. I've rarely team killed. When I have, it's been me, meeting some dude in a corridor or something, like on Boneyard, & getting the **** scared out of me. By then, it's just reflexes! Ha! I always apologize though. ;) & yes, I mean it. lol

u cant see a teamate on ur radar if he is a sertain distance away, and sometimes u can scope them in with ur m82 but u cant see them on ur radar, immo the radar is way to small in this game. needs to be about 1.5x the size and the dots need to be smaller.

I use the radar all the time. I have like 20 teamkills, but I have played over 200 games. Most of the teamkills were due to grenades. When you chuck a random grenade, the blue dots dont usually help you.

Not to mention, if you see a person moving in the bushes like 150 meters away from you, the radar will not show the blue dot for that person. it can be hard to tell weather they are a SEAL or not.

It's fine for smaller maps, but in some of the larger maps with open fields, the blue dots don't show and neither do the names. At very long distances, people basicaly appear as shadows and that won't help you much when trying to find out whos who out there... They should really have done a better job on this aspect if they were going to make it a part of the game...
