It is very difficult to distinguish one teammate from another in Lockdown because everyone wears similar armor. This makes it somewhat difficult to coordinate movements with your team. Can a colored flag on the backpack or some other icon be added to differentiate your own teammates?

Just because you can doesn't
Just because you can doesn't mean everyone can, i for one have color recognition problems and can't catch small amounts of green or purple on vog cubs for example without squinting my eyes. I don't see any real reason why not to to add an option for adding a feature that would paint whole knights in their team colours.

Ya see, it's funny because I never said everyone could see it.

maybe an option to always show player names like when you are in haven could work

I just look at the circle beneath the players feet?

I like watching my opponent's
I like watching my opponents strikers chase each others around. It makes recon all the more fun.
The rare friendly sneak attacks I tried so far seemed to have no negative effect on my teammates except in one case, where the "victim" has been watching me for a while carefully sneaking up on him and was incapacitated due to rofl'in when the enemy attacked us.
So... imo, a change here is unnecessary.

"I just look at the circle
"I just look at the circle beneath the players feet?"
It isn't visible/doesn't stand out a lot of time, control points being biggest offenders, charging attacks, Skolver/Wolver sets, Divine set, Brute Jelly set. This all causes confusion.
"I like watching my opponents strikers chase each others around."
I find it rather sad that your amusement comes from watching people have problems with distuinguishing teammates, you should feel ashamed.
@Hova, why would you post this then? You haven't said anything outside of a subtle "lol u nub i can see well xD". Was there really need for your post?

Visible names?
I think I may not have been clear with my OP, I'm interested in telling apart my own teammates from one another so that I can better coordinate with them. If everyone is using similar gear, the only way to tell who is who is by mousing over the player so the name shows up. Is it possible to keep the player's name visible at all times? I do see that the team color is also another issue that other players are encountering so maybe the devs can also make some changes there as well.
I can distinguish my teammates very easily even if they're using Striker...
