One of our guys helped add the games maps and icons, so everyone can use them to try to plan out different tactics.
Does no one look before replying anymore?

I clicked your link, was a blurb and then required me to login to do anything else.

By my nature i don't give out my email address just to see what something is.

All you need to do is click the (return to map tactics) button on the very top in the middle.

This is actually really cool. It might be a bit difficult to use in game. But before match briefing would be way better than what we have now.

Every time I click anything the website logs me out

and I click map packs and nothing. I still have to join the site to see anything? You guys probably just did the same thing we did on our site with having all the maps available for our users to see.

[Taizan]

Well I'm still working on a pack for ATC (will make it public as soon as I'm happy with it)

[Mazzyplz]

i still don't get it, and i don't see any big button that reads "return to maptactics" or anything of the sort

if i understand correctly, it's like a drawing program where you can put lines, icons etc?
why is this better than MS Paint or Adobe PS exactly????

Map Tactic (www.maptactic.com) is a free-to-use, collabrative, tactical planning tool - think web based ATC/GTactix. Basically a gaming centric multi-user whiteboard application. We created it to support my team's 15v15 tactical planning and training effort (albeit for an different MMORPG).

Gristle was nice enough help us compile the in-game images into a map pack.

Only the briefing commander (the guy drawing up the strategy) need register with the service, all others can connect anonymously if they choose, There is no software to download, install, or configure. A briefing session may include any number of concurrent connections, create as many briefings as you want. You may either use canned map packs and icons or upload your own.

When a briefing is ready to go, the commander will cut-and-paste and send a private link. His team mates click on the link and are dropped into the briefing session.

Thanks for the shout out Slaytronic and Flamino!

pugs are going to love this not being able to convince teams in chat of what they should do and the TS crowd using this gear for more co-ordinated strikes
