No one seems to know and I am curious, the devs seem to be out now so how about some info on the new chevron.

The mouth of the chevron just tells you what direction they're facing. It probably helps identify friendlies or something

I see red ones, blue ones and green ones. They aren't always cloaked and they don't seem to denote frame size. I thought they were squadless mercs for a while them a merc in my squad was one. I am very interested in what they are supposed to mean or why we have them.

My guess from what I've seen...
If nobody in ur squad is pointing their gun at them, and they arnt scanned but still manage to get on the radar somehow (passive scan?) Then they are just a chevron not a dot.

Maybe it has something to do with the suit tier? I've seen them too and have yet to figure this out myself. |

v<>^, I see them in all directions and I don't think they are frame size because I have seen different frame sizes showing up as >. I have had people in my squad beside me, reds across the map and blues doing whatever blues do with them. The only thing that seems to be consistent is that the open end seem to be the direction they are facing.

I am fairly certain it is an arrow. The tip is the direction people are facing, so you can tell if you are sneaking up on people or if your allies are in the same direction as yourself. If you only see that, it means someone is cloaked but you can see their arrow.

Nope.
It's the opposite, the concave side is the direction people are facing. It also doesn't indicate a cloaked enemy.

You can see them scanning with the AS on the overview map and the AS graphic comes out of the open end.

I am not saying any of these are right or wrong because the new chevron could be badly bugged. I want to know what CCP intended it to be.

Oh, so it is showing their field of vision rather than an arrow point. Neat.
I think it does mean if an ally is cloaked. I have seen a lot of arrows come running by me on the map and have seen cloaked allies.
It sure would be nice if when a patch happened, there could be information given to the players. You know, almost like a list or notes of all changes. Would sure be nice to have explanations on how they CCP changed their game. It is frankly wrong that you have to ask other players to determine on a developer's changed stuff.

It is fun to speculate on small things that don't really matter like this. Gives us something to do next to QQ.

On the menu at the beginning of the match it says it is an"infantry tag" as opposed to the regular blueberry symbol.
I thought it meant that you have visual or they are friendlies within your scan radius. I.e. So you can be aware of them and help out more easily if friend or know which reds pose the biggest threat. Maybe they are within your weapon range. Guessing from what I've been seeing.
I'd assume it's so you don't get the blue and red berry symbols jumbled up when they are grouped close by ( also in scan range)

I've already figured out that it's the new suits.
The only suits that have that marker are the 3 new heavy and 2 new scout suits.
It can't be cloaks or scanners because sentinels don't have equipment.
Not sure if they were meaning to give this tag to all of the suits but forgot to put it on the old one or what...but all I know is that whenever I see one I know it's either a scout or a heavy.

You're an idiot. If it was to indicate direction, why would some players appear with it and others not? Also, how does it indicate direction when it's not the tip that faces forward, it's the convex side!
What Shayz points out seems to be the most probable explanation so far but i can't see any logical reason for CCP to have different chevrons for the new suits, most likely it's a bug and the new suits aren't displaying the chevron properly.
Now, will you please take your arrogant opinions elsewhere?

In match right now... indicating direction, relative to your Line Of Sight to the chevroned Merc, occurs on multiple suits...
Hence. DIRECTION INDICATION.

It indicating a direction is a byproduct. They could've put a pentagram or a pacman outline or just a straight line and whenever you'd realize which way they were pointing to, they'd all be indicating a direction.

Hang on mate, the fact that it is a chevron, that is convex to the direction the Merc is facing, and that it is seemingly only occuring on all new suits, and cloaked suits, does not dismiss that it still indicates direction, the fact that it is around backwards makes me ******** daft does it. Rightio.

His point, if I take it correctly, is that the directional reference of the chevron is a given. That was noted back on page one. Directional indication is not the question of the thread. Yeah, it's part of it, but that part was easily determined already. The back and forth is in wondering why it exists for seemingly selective players/suits/fittings. Of COURSE it's showing direction, but is it doing this for ALL suits? Just the new ones? Just scanners? Just passive scans? Just LoS? Elevation relative to your position? etc. etc. etc... If it's JUST new suits, then what is the significance of that other than a bug? Is there more to it than that? Are we chasing men in black and crazy lights in the sky? Working as intended?
The last two kats replying to you were trying to discuss beyond the obvious. Throwing insults in the middle of a conversation to state the obvious is the cause of daft. That, btw, sounds like a neat name for a band: Cause of Daft. Hey. CoD! Whatayaknow!?
