My first of many contributions I'm sure...

I've found this little trick useful more and more as the games go by.

Create a password system to ID team members and threats in low-visibility environments.

Password - Reply... that's how it works.

Come up with a standard password, or a question to ask a passing unidentified person - thier reply must be correct.

IE:

Passwords Replies
Storm? River!
Flash? Thunder!

Dynamic passwords are even better.

Say, if you used a number system to ID threats...

The password is any number - the correct reply is 5 numbers above that one.

For instance:

Password Reply
5 10!

Of course, an incorrect reply can be followed by an easy kill.

So let's run it through in a scenario:

Player A spots movement, then the tip of a gun in a night op, but can not make a clear ID of Player B, hidden behind a barrel.

Player A: "2!"

Player B: "7!"

Players A and B meet up and continue down the field. They spot Player C, hidden behind some shrubs.

Player B: "1!"

Player C dosnt move.

Player B: "1! Last Chance! 1!"

Player C: "Are you guys on Alpha team?"

Players A and B open up on Player C, obtaining an easy kill.
