It's East/West. . .NOT Left/Right. . .NOT Grass/Snow

My god. You find elitists everywhere!

You say East, West or Snow, grass, I have to stop what I'm doing and look. You say go Left or go Right, I simply have to turn myself in that direction. so for me Left/Right works. I think this is because I'm a little challenged as to east and west on the maps, because they are opposite of what they should be in my mind, and I think the maps are backwards from the directional meter in my brain. So, yes, someone tells me left/right, that is the best for me.

I can't believe there are so many pages debating this issue. You use what works and gets an immediate response.

Most likely coast will develop with landmark calls like civil war grass/snow. Those are usually the easiest when a map isn't so straight forward.

More and more it seems the east/west people are the fools, can't adapt to anything else.

I would love to see an age breakdown between the "west/east" and pictures folks.

I can almost guarantee the picture people are children.

Left/right's are somewhere between early high school and working at Subway.

The west/east's are humanities only hope.

This thread has driven me to ad hominem, maybe it's time it gets locked.

A few facts (for Civil War):

* Grass/Snow doesn't work since you can't see either side from the spawn room, so you don't know which speeder to take.
* East/West doesn't work well, since it is a different direction for Imperial vs. Republic.

* The best terms are "left" and "right" because when you are standing up in the spawn room, the speeder bikes have a front (nose) and back (jets), and the front of the bikes face the window. Therefore, the bikes give directionality. If I say "help left", you take the LEFT BIKE. If i say "help right", you take the RIGHT BIKE. The other two bikes are the mid bikes, everyone knows this.

/facts

And also because you can't tell while you're in the middle.

Wrong, the map looks the same to both sides.

Still, no one should be confused by left/right.

east=right
west=left

Not that hard...

Grass/snow doesnt work for new players, or people who just dont pay attention to the ground when PvPing.

East/West is ok, and works fine. But most people dont use cardinal directions in real life, so there is the second of thinking before you react.

Everyone knows what left/right is. It is the easiest system to use. Everyone knows what your talking about. If you are one of those people that say left/right changes depending on what direction you are facing....dont be an idiot, we are talking about coming out of spawn.

For Republic, this is true. For Imperials, this is not.

I am greatly pleased by the fact that so many Imperials are confused by this though.

I highly doubt people are losing because of left/right east/west issues. lolololol They're losing because my Republic compadres do the following in WZs:
1)Play for 30 seconds.
2)Whine about how hard it is.
3)Quit.

This has been confusing me. Imps keep saying their maps are "flipped," but all the gameplay I've seen from the Imp side has their minimap oriented with North on top, just like for Republic.
