The squad order system is great! I was very glad when I discovered it. However, like many things in DUST, it could be made better.
We aren't able to see through walls, so it can be troublesome to mark an objective if you do not have a clear line of sight. The ideal solution would be having the ability to mark the name/icon on the HUD, rather than having to aim directly at the person/object you want to mark. Another solution I came up with, but may be more difficult to implement, is being able to see the outline of an installation through walls when you've selected an order for designation.
MAG spoiled me when it came to being informative about what's going on in the battle with FRAGO targets being detailed. Instead of "NEW SQUAD ORDER: Capture designated objective <" in the HUD, it should say "NEW SQUAD ORDER: Capture designated Clone Reanimation Unit <"
Also, there are a few extra slots in the squad order menu. They could be used to request ammo, armor repair, backup, stuff like that. Have an icon pop up next to the name of the person making the request, and/or have the same icon show up on radar. |

There is a method to mark out-of-reach objectives. Just press the down directional button to bring up an overview map of the battlefield, move the cursor to an objective, hold down the X button to bring up a menu similar to the weapon select menu, and then finally select the order. |

Heh, I should have specified the troublesome part of my original post. I already know about that, but bringing up the map takes time, blinds you, and needs to load properly.
MAG spoiled me in regards to the FRAGO/squad order system. It was very simple in MAG to just hold the down button on the d-pad, aim at the HUD icon for that objective, and hit the R1 button to FRAGO the target. Similar to how it's done in DUST, but if you are a MAG vet, you'd understand how much easier it was to do. That game was quite smooth. |

I keep hearing that MAG did a lot of things right so I'll take your word for it. |

Current system is baaaad.
Need to be able to target objectives through obstructions.
Also R2+R3 isn't very user friendly. |

While I've adjusted to using R2+R3 for squad orders, it certainly felt odd at the start. I would prefer using Select or the down button on the d-pad to open up the squad order menu. I don't see the scoreboard being very important in the middle of battle, so I'd be fine with them using the up button for opening the map if the down button opened the squad orders menu.

Indeed it did.  |
