I have very good video game navigation skillz, many of the people I play with don't, it's frustrating for both of us, think this might be a good start to help get information across to your squad especially now that you don't know where everyone is unless you aim at them and see their name.
The idea is simple, replace the push to talk button (because it's pretty useless anyway) with a pulsing beacon, just press the button to put a waypoint or marker on whatever you're aiming at that lasts about 3 seconds like how the squad leader can set a rally point. Another option could be to have the button press activate the signal on your location and maybe holding the button sets the marker on what you're aiming at, which anyone on your squad can see. I don't think I need to list the different ways this can be used to help give your team an idea of what's going on that can support voice communication, what's also good is that is might be able to give people who don't have mics a way to get everyone's attention too. It's powerpoint 101, visual aids help get the point across.
I don't care what gets put in, I like this idea and it works for me but as long as we can help get something put in that can help players navigate using more than just arbitrarily named landmarks. Let's make it happen! |

Never had that be a problem honestly, I usually don't have enemies in the bottom right corner of my screen, they're usually in the center. |

Thought about that a while back too, not a bad idea, doesn't need to give extra war points, just a way to spot enemies without a scanner. |

However, I think it's kind of annoying all of the button pressing you need to do just go get the order on someone, 1 touch would be great, in fact revamping that for squad leaders would be good too, left on the d pad activates the squad order and then it just adjusts automatically depending on what you're aiming at, if it's a hacked enemy objective, just automatically sets a capture order, if it's a friendly automatically switches to a defend order. Maybe for a neutral turret have it switch between attack and capture every second. |
