As the title says why don’t you use it. I’m literally spamming pings on enemies of locations of suspected enemies. Yet I see even squad mates who’ve just been killed not pinging the location of the enemy that killed them.
Teamwork makes the dream work boys and girls.
Because it hardly works. It'll ping everything but what you're trying to point out
It can be useful only while alive but when you are down is hard to ping because the character do some weird rounds on the ground after being shot and by the time it remains still and you can take control of the view around then is too late and enemy just went out or finished to kill you.
I don't understand the ping system. I NEVER see others that people ping.

I also think because BF5 and 2042 use the horrible ping system instead of 3D spotting so people really stopped using it overall.
I thought that the only players that could see the pinging of enemies after being downed were the other three in the squad. Since most people playing don't use squad orders or stick with their squad members at all. The action is mostly useless.

That is still true of the ping marker. Only squadmates can see this. Either when downed, or when double-clicking the spot button/key while alive.
However, the more recent return of the 3d spotting (single click/press), which only works while alive and has a short duration, can be seen by your entire team.
It would better if the downed ping worked for all nearby medics. I guess DICE was worried about the UI overload.
