TheBigBee Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 EAST/WEST is correct Right/Left is correct (using spawn as point of reference) your driving in a car and someone says take a right at the next light.....its understood and correct and if they say take east on road xxxx they are also correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dissentus Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 People can mean different things when using left/right, so it's always confusing. I do not know if you mean left/right looking at the mini map, starting area, or your current position. I prefer east/west because it is simple, or it should be, to glance at your mini map and instantly know. Everyone should know how to tell north/south/east/west.

This is just people being bad to be honest. You don't use left/right when looking at a map, no. But you also don't use the map for reference unless you are a newb that doesnt know the map (everyone has to learn them at some point, nothing wrong with it). So you don't use the map. If you use left right based on 'your' current position... Well I'm sorry but your not very bright. So while you are correct its not the interpretation that's wrong, but its the wrong usage. Use it right and it works, and it only takes common sense to use it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right/Left is subjective, cardinal directions are constant for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right/Left is subjective, cardinal directions are constant for a reason. Right/left is just as constant if the point of reference is a uniform fixed point. Your spawn.

In order to use it "right" , you would have to specify left of spawn etc. Use cardinal directions and you will never be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a fixed frame of reference in place for thousands of years. Egypt is to the right you idiots! Everyone knows you use Rome as the point of reference!

I stated spawn as a reference....it is constant driving threw the desert tour guide say "look to your left you can see more sand" yup it still works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogadai Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 In order to use it "right" , you would have to specify left of spawn etc. Use cardinal directions and you will never be wrong. You're just being difficult for the sake of being difficult. There is only one frame of reference that even logically makes any kind of sense when someone says left right and that is in relation to the starting position. Saying East/West is any easier than left/right and that people that prefer left right are stupid is all true for people that cant figure out left/right instead of east/west or snow/grass. They all take memorization and thought process, wether its looking down at my mini map and saying oh, the other side, or remembering which way i face when i spawn i still have to think about it. I personally dont care although i find the best results with left/right in voidstar on offense, and east/west on defense. And snow/mid/grass on CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyrLXXVII Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm not being difficult, I am only being correct. Except nothing is correct in matters of opinion. Some of us just think left/right.is easier, and in my case it is because I've never once looked at my mini map in a WZ, so if you say east I'm gonna not have a clue where you are talking. Left/right is just more intuitive for that reason right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyrLXXVII Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 A fact is not an opinion. The argument is which is better, that is opinion. East/west may never be wrong technically but it doesn't mean everyone knows where you mean without looking at the map. Left/right is pure instinct, problem is not everyone understands its based on spawn point, which should be common sense. So which is more intuitive, knowing the point of reference, or knowing knowing the directional orientation of the map. Sine one requires common sense and one requires use of the in game map the strictly more intuitive one is left/right. But again, its all opinions.

Common sense would be to use the system put in place many years ago. The orientation of the map is North up. Anyone with common sense knows that. Refer to patch notes if you don't believe BW had the common sense to orient the map correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refer to patch notes if you don't believe BW had the common sense to orient the map correctly. common sense also dictates Left and Right.....but if you still dont understand left for right well there is not hope for you as pointed out East and West is also correct use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
