I like this. I didn't know you could put orders on yourself either. Usually, my squadmates all go sniping, and I usually get the most kills. Would be nice to put that 10% bonus bubble on myself and my spotter.

Yes, I use a spotter, we even tag team the harder targets.

My ideas on how to improve squad play on the battlefield.

Downed team mates requesting help

Team mates will keep the same blinking nanite injector when they are down
Downed squad mates will now have a green blinking nanite injector to help indicate that this is a squad member

Squad leader

Squad leader is a very important role in any squad this player is in control of the squad and in charge of placing orbital strikes and squad orders. The squad leader of a squad should should always have a green arrow pointing down over his head this will help players indicate who the squad leader is quickly.

Spotting

Everyone in the squad should be allowed to spot which will place a red triangle pointing downwards over the enemies head whom was spotted. Spotting could be done from the squad radial or by pressing a button on the PS3 controller.

Mini map changes/map changes

The minimap should always face North and indicate west, south, east as well so it easier to point out which direction an enemy is in. The map should have a grid view that can be toggled on and off the same way a chess board is set up for example f6 to r5. This will help players who can not find some kind of easy to say location and point it out on the grid. We should also be able to zoom in closer on the map to see white dots.

Additional squad orders

Players should be allowed additional squad orders.

There should also be a faster way to place a order on your self besides through the map.

Request nanohives/ammo: +5 squad commission war points for ammo given
Request repairs: +5 squad commission war points for repairs given
Request pick up

Orbital strikes

Orbital strikes need a bit more complexity first off you should be able to drop them directly from the map on the area of your choice. Orbital strikes should not be squad leader only strikes the squad leader should be able to allow anyone in the squad to be able to use the strike if he or she choices to. The squad leader should also have the ability to allow whom ever he chooses in the squad to use the orbital strike and retract the privilege as well. It should also add the total war points your squad has in the bottom left of the map instead of just showing how many war points each squad mate has. It should also show the amount of orbital strikes you have in the bottom left hand corner.

Hope this helped improve squad play

Thank you

also squad equipment on the mini map should be green like vehicles , instead of the mass of blue, it would make life so much easier in the mystic blue glow of a defended objective

Spotting

Simply allow all squad members to place "Attack" orders on infantry and vehicles.

Minimap Request

I like the idea but be sure that it's all optional as I would personally prefer my map turn around me instead of being in a fixed position.

Other squad orders

These orders should be accessible rather your in a squad or not and would simply add 5 extra WP to the one giving aid.
Of course there would be a symbol over the person making the request AND would be color coded to symbolize if it's a teammate or squad-mate.

Overall

+1

great add up ideas
