How Has the Ping System Helped You?

I have no problem speaking on the mic in multiplayer games, but I've really been enjoying the ping system in this game. I feel that the ping system in this game is a much more efficient means of communication, there's no more of let's go over there, behind you, there's a guy on the house etc. With the ping I'm able to give other players a verbal and visual representation of what I want to communicate. I also really enjoy the ping system because as a father of three younger children I can't always have a mic plugged in so the ping system comes in handy for me.
