Post Outbuilding Field Guide, w/ Suggested Names and 101 In-Game & Map Images, by Kate250.


Here's my outbuilding field guide. It lists each outbuilding in the game, with a suggested name, a pic of what it looks like on the map/minimap, and some shots of it from different angles.

A few months ago I was bored and started working on this for my outfit, and I finally finished it off a few weeks ago. I posted it to Reddit, but I forgot to put it up on PSU and the official forums until today. I figure it may help some new people get to know terrain better, and help others improve callouts amongst their outfit's squads, or help people more easily come up with building-specific tactics. I could see this potentially being useful on the Community Clash as well, so people better know what buildings are being discussed, and possibly the tactics associated with them.

We call that fan building the 'banana building'. Memorable.

We don't have names for any others so the rest of this is useful.

This is good, I definatly be using the "Power House" and "Triple" names from now on.
I'll stick the calling the "Fan" the "Banana Building" though.

SOE should borrow a page from your book except for "fan" which should be named "banana building" of course.

It's good but looking at those buildings it's notable how anonymous they all are, apart from the banana building and possibly the triple.

Could the devs do a little more to give them an identity? And I mean not much, a flash of colour and/or a trim perhaps. Something not expensive but will assist us in describing the building to a team mate who doesn't know what we're referring to.
