Audible feedback is faster and much better than icons. We don't need bigger clutter on our screens. if we could have different sounds for flag pickup, flag drop and flag return, things would be so nice.

Need different sounds for friendly and enemy flag grabs

Using the same sound for both friendly and enemy flag grabs just won't do.

In previous Tribes games (at least in T2) these sounds very really distinct, and it was easy to follow what was happening to the both flags just by listening to those sounds.

In T:A it is impossible to do that because both flags have the same sounds. When the matches get really hectic it is really easy to miss enemy flag grab because of the way how the game provides information to the players. Text notification spam becomes barely noticiable, and you start to ignore flag sounds as well because those sounds do not really give you any meaningful info.

First we need a sound for FLAG DROPS.

No more sounds or notifications:
Just make the icons at the top bigger and more clear with respect to current flag status.
