"INC LEFT" That is not a good way to call INCs

All you east/west fanboys, want to tell me which direction is east on the Alderaan warzone map? Whats that? East is east? Ok, which way is east? Do you mean, east ON THE MAP that you are looking at? Interesting! Ok, so, if it is east on the map you are looking at, then which way would you go if I said left? You would go west? Interesting!

There are no N-S-E-W indicators on the map. East to republic would be west to imperials, because their map is flipped for the match.

Kindergarten style. Left is west, right is east...BUT, a imperial east, is actually a rebel west. Funny huh?

30 pages of people arguing over east and west, when in fact, there is no east or west indicator in warzones!

hit m, left is which side of the map? Ohh, it is the left side? Hit m, what side of the map is right? Ohh, it's the right side? Brilliant, I'll just call it east and west then...

I would love to see this conversation in a real military situation.

Sergeant: Ok squad, we're going to head north two clicks and then start moving to the east.

Private numbnuts: But sarge, do you mean to go left or right from our base?

Sergeant: Private dip*****, since when did left or right become a valid option on a map or battlefield?

If you dopes are going to be calling left or right, as least use it in the context of the actual map. Then when you look at a map to see what is going on it will actually make sense. Whoever came up with the idea of Left or Right being relative to a spawn needs to be slapped.

Of course intelligent people will continue to say east/west.

Left is being used as a LABEL...not a direction of travel. How are people still not getting this concept.

I'll have a gps to use. Luckily you have this same basic "GPS" in form of an in-game map that happens to show where you and all of your teammates are. Now do you need me to move your mouse for you too?

Because left is a relative direction of travel based on where you are facing. If I look at the in-game map and say "left" then I am of course referring to west. The problem is that some people aren't using this same definition. This then leads to all of the confusion that we are now discussing.

Treat the in-game map as you would any real-life map where the four sides correspond to a compass and all questions of direction are taken care of.

People should be using the in-game map regularly anyway just to see where people are and to determine which areas may need more coverage.

I got in a fight w/ a Canadian military guy in my guild over this. How the eff you can be enlisted and not know basic nav is beyond me. Some people are just worthless.

left is left even in russia
