Hi, I've found coordinates moderately useful in certain FPS titles, though not really all of them. Really, the only two I have use of them for or Tank Commander and Loan Wolf. In Shades of doom, they really do have no use for me.

Is 5 meaning 5 units along the north/south grid or is it 5 units along the east/west? In chess, there are only 8 squares along each axis, so it is easy to kep track of which square you are on because from left to right are A through H and, from White's perspective, 1 through 8 are from south to north with north being at the top of the map. MOTA will be too large for this to work, but how about something like 2N or S, 5E or W, and 3H, starting at the center of the layout? --- In God we trust. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[email protected]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 12:09 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Important MOTA News > Hi Phil, > Yeah, I know.
