Please give us your feedback about the Capture point system and the online map

Jag som var på berget för första gången i år tyckte det var fantastiskt skoj kommer definitivt boka bilgeter för nästa år också och tyckte att att det var ett jävligt bra konsept med zonerna och live kartan dock hade ni kunnat haft vatten på fyllnings stationer vid zonerna

Technical issues with a system based on SMS (wich has the lowest priority in all mobile operators in sweden) was frustating to say the least and cost quite some time among GM, HQ and field commanders. I am sure this was innovative some years ago, but i presume this isnt part of BE core business and hence should be replaced with a better system like Ares Alpha.

Water tanks should be on the digital online map.

Make sure to use the same grid system on the paper map as on the online map. It makes artillery and communication in general easier.

Placements of CPs
Positioning of capture points was completely FUBAR this year. They were hidden so well that any attacking party would have little to no chance of identifying and capturing it. Defenders would easily hold it since we did not know what and where we were attacking. Many people never even found some of the CPs, and those that did spent hours looking for it while getting shot out by defenders. Normally a POI would be visually identifiable, which was not the case since BE had chosen to not use the boards/boxes that normally indicates the capture point. They were hidden so well and sometimes in such a rough terrain that I suspect it was done by a sadistic gym teacher in love with orienteering. In the end I fear this was due to economical and/or time restrictions, but this should not be acceptable when you pay to attend the event. While being a proper challenge it worked to the detriment of the game balance and enjoyment of the game.

Capture points and the in-game point system
The capture points are seemingly only for respawning and not for completing or providing objectives. There appears to be a lack of insentive to actually capture and hold CPs unless you have a mission in the area and need a spawn point for that. You get points, but no one can actually explain what they mean as the bear no significance in-game or after. Does the points indicate a "winner?" No one knows, and yet they are still displayed on the live-map as if being some kinda leftover parasitic game design.
