wow... I've seen no better argument FOR east west in the 40 some pages here. Thank you for illustrating how much we need to just say east west all the time and skip the confusion.

Everyone else are either guarding a point that is already under attack (and should just continue to defend it) or guarding a point that is not under attack (and should move to the OTHER point).

If you say East, then a lot of people that spawn will be confused. Some will use the middle speeder. Some will look at the map and try to figure out if the Left or Right speeder will take them to the East base. Many will use the Right speeder (which will take them to the West base).

The best way to make people use the Left speeder to help out at the East base is to tell them to "use the Left speeder" or even "Inc 4 L".

How about we grow up and use cardinal directions like intelligent adults. Use "INC WEST" so we don't have to decipher your subjective meaning
You're right. It's difficult to use the minimap to judge where is Left and Right.

Its not subjective .... left or right based on the map. Hardly had problems getting reinforced fast even when I hold points / door alone.

That's assuming everyone is calling left/right based on the map, and not say spawn direction....
