- Hit Strikes provide extra bonuses

- Attack Area will provide extra bonuses while dealing damage to enemies on said area
- Defend Area will provide extra bonuses while taking damage, or dealing damage to enemy.
- Move to Area will provide extra bonuses upon arriving
- Follow will provide extra bonuses while in proximity of the Followed target
- Enemy Spotted only marks the area, not the individual. Respotting targets within Enemy Spotted Area provides extra bonuses
- Capture provides extra bonuses while capturing an area, provides even more bonuses while capping with lead.

The point of this is to add rewards in using and following orders, so that the directing feature of the Battle-Grid is adhered. Not everyone is coordinated, likewise uses the ingame voip, hell even teamspeak. This improved commanding system will make it easier to provide commands especially to strangers.

The mandatory wait in the start of the match is 2-fold, it allows players more time to connect. In addition, it will also give time for the leaders to talk to their team and formulate a plan. In addition of being able to draw

The rewards are necessary. Abusable? Sure, but they can improve teamwork by incentivising players in following the plan. NOBODY follows the battlegrid plan, or at least in my experience. I tried to direct, they only complained to me, that I assumed that they don't know how to play the game and/or the map.

What do you think?

What if somebody takes the command and starts giving nonsensical orders, either because he is trolling or because he is simply stupid?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I honestly don't know. Don't follow him maybe?

What about Drop-Caller vote? So people can agree who to follow.

Outside of the initial "group up here" call, markers aren't used. Its quicker and easier to just say "lets rotate right" than to use the appropriate map markers.

Most matches don't have people drop call, what makes you think forcing people wait longer for a match is going to encourage that? Even then its quickplay so you don't need these gigabrain strats that take time to plan out, they come down to "we hold a firing line here" or "we group up then push here"

I'm going to presume that you make full use of the various commands and yeah, I'd tell you to sod off too. I'm playing a shooter and don't need someone micro managing me.
