    Hopefully all the feedback markers will be easy to disable from the display or gameplay options and there should be an option "turn on the classic bouncing flags".

    Which would demand that the banner doesn't vanish when you get close.
    You may not care about war, but war cares about you!

    I don't really see why you *should* be able to spot every man in a unit anyhow. It's part of the fog of war that units get a bit messed up sometimes and you can't tell one from the other.

    I mean, it's not as though real commanders in the field had a switch that would make all the men in their unit glow so they could tell where they were at.

    Yeah, I agree with Orda. What's wrong with a waving or bouncing banner? Works for me.

    No, no and no.
    Maybe you hate them, but as for me, I saw them just a bit highlighted, which didn't bothered me the slightest.
    If you children really MUST have your lightbulb men, so be it. All I'm arguing for is an option to turn the lightbulb men OFF, just like the green arrows, so that hardcore realism buffs like me can also have their druthers.
    Fair point about being able to turn it off in the preference. Options are great to chose what you like and don't like.
    But I don't want to let CA think that there is only people not liking the highlighting, and as such they CAN keep it for MTW2.


    On the "children" point, you look much more immature with such calling that the ones it's directed at.
    And being called a "child" at 27 is somewhat funny
    If violence didn't solve your problem... well, you just haven't been violent enough.

    True, but they probably had lieutenants (sp?) who at least knew where all the men in their unit were. ;-)
