So instead of ************ at each other about this, why don't we ask them to implement map pinging and we wouldn't have to use a direction at all?

The best part is when people get confused by it and scream at me to use left or right instead. Idiots.

I KNOW it's called west, but my experience both IRL and gaming is that west and east is more confusing for folks than left and right. Instead of patronising or trying to re-educate people it might be more useful to reach a compromise so that the largest amount of players understand it.

Except your compromise is way more confusing for anyone who knows how to read a map which I hope is the majority.

That would definitely be nice, too much to ask for clearly atm given the state of UI but I'd love to see this. It'd be much help for PUGs in Warzones. That being said, Voidstar is the only WZ I've been to where this is a problem and its purely due to map orientation vs. spawn points. I thought it was just a personal pet peeve, good to know it pisses other people off when they call "left" meaning left of the spawn point. Regardless of if you are on defense or offense, that is the eastern door on the map.

I have never had trouble understanding someone saying left/right/middle. It is always based off your map. If someone says left based just on where they are facing that is silly. There isn't really a WZ that requires using North/South/East/West, just purely because of the layout of the maps, left/right/middle is perfectly accurate way of describing where you need to go... IF you use your MAP as a reference If I was playing battlefield with multiple points all over the map, maybe I would have to use north/east/south/west/northeast/southwest etc etc. But definitely not in this case.

Left/right is still better than someone telling you the enemy is "HERE".

Problem is, there's just as many posts saying that it's always based off where you spawn, and if you say a direction based on your map, that's silly. And that's the issue the OP is talking about. Unless I know you and know what your view on it is, I don't know if you're basing your directions on where you're facing when you spawn or basing it by the map. Aside from being psychic, I have no way of knowing. Me, I always use east/west. Always defined independently of orientation or position. 100% easy-peasy.

Which is true, but people are dumb and don't think logically. The whole reason I use east/west is because otherwise someone inevitably gets confused. Better to hold their hand and win the game than be lazy and lose.
