I just found some screens...

[EyeBeat]

They should make this for spectator mode so when you record other people in fraps you can see who is who.

Please do this!

Also it helps admins that are in spectator easily see who is TWing/TKing.

Take off the enemy banners when you are actually playing though. 

[Molly]

HAHA... our banner is half green, half red already. We would constantly get half-teamkilled 
[...]

Doesn't make sense... like... at all! 

[Strider]

I like it as long as they make it clearly noticeable who the enemy and your allies are.

[Para]

You'd think it would be more helpful than not seeing banners on enemies at all. It is very hard to discern those outline colors at long distances, making it more of a hindrance to tell friend from foe.

This is a great tool for admins in spectator mode, but I still think people will keep things the old way once they are given the option.

[Elindor]

Para already said this, but I'll say it again.

Its an OPTION in the new client menu.   You can add banners over people, or remove them, or add colored rings like you see there, or remove them.  Personally I keep things as they are now except adding a green ring to friendlies. 

But you don't have to change anything at all - and the default setting is same as current client settings.

Thats the problem... if you're leaking only half the info from the beta, everything will be discussed with half knowledge. Just tell us everything right NOW!

I think the ability to make enemy players more visible will override the possibility of some extra tking. Someone might be concealed to one player who has the banner off, but visible to another. Personally I will have the enemy banners on just so I see players better, just hope I don't end up tking more.

And those who DISABLE them will be at a DISADVANTAGE.

Do you not see the loss in tactical flexibility here? Hell, this change would destroy STEALTH ITSELF. I won't worry about line of sight alone, I'll also be worrying about having a HUGE NEON SIGN ABOVE MY HEAD indicating to the three last survivors of the enemy team that I'm RIGHT BEHIND THIS WALL. From hunter I become hunted - please don't allow this change, it'll only destroy a whole layer of complexity for the sake of GOOD GOD I don't even KNOW.

I hope the borders are only optional for teammates and neither banner nor border is available for enemies as it really would dumb down the game. It would make it even easier for ranged to spot an enemy and just target the red sign above its head.

[Jarlek]

Hehe. I was wondering when someone would ask about this after I posted the screens.

Yes, as mentioned by others, this is a new options that we are testing in the beta.

By default it's the same as of old, but now you can turn on/off banners on friendlies or enemies, and you can turn on/off banner outlines on friendlies or enemies. Or as I did when I first messed with them, turned ALL banners off (I changed back after I died from a horseman while I stood wondering if he was friendly or not).

Although having banners on enemies is VERY confusing sometimes! Especially in big clusterfucks. Allies with red banners or enemies with green banners can be horrible. Again, sorry to that DRZ guy I whacked a couple of times before I realized he was on my team.

It's a really nice option.

Is this jarlek all the time?

He has a very sexy armor dont you think ?

Yes, it's me. Stop mixing me with Zakker! (Y U remove me from steam and for 3 months talk to zakker as if it's me xD)

Although there's this other my old friend who keeps stealing my look. Byzantium_Chase. He probably just wanna be as awesome as me.

You moron! Those pics weren't meant as leaks, but for a ban request on rule breakers! It's just a new feature together with... wait a minute! I see what you tried there!

[Cicero]

bullshit ; go fuckin play BF 3 in normal mode instead of giving those idiotic ideas to cRPG

[NeoZecks]

I had a well thought out response to this thread, but then I watched Eye's gif and completely forgot what I was going to write...

Was worth a try, wasn't it? 

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

I think they added it in to help ID Friendlies and Enemies

It would be good if it wasn't green and red to help out the colour blind players (one of which does exist so tits or GTFO).

Also perhaps an option to display clan names above the heads instead of the banners would help as well, with just a white circle above friendlies.

[Leesin]

A massively retarded idea that destroys more of the small amount of sneaky/stealth/surprise encounters.
