ADDITION to BR/Gauntlet.
BRIEFING REPORT:
CLASSIFIED/TOP SECRET
This NEW IDEA comes to me as I finally finished the full single-player campaign.
The ENGAGE wheel that is available in the last few missions became a situation that I was totally unaware of when i did my second playthrough. I was focused on just getting the collectables that until i did the last and final playthrough for the single-player assignment it dawned on me that it could be a really good idea to add the ENGAGE WHEEL to allow teammates to be given more detailed orders other than just the ping in a single direction.
When teams have MICs running it is easier to communicate and make decisions together.
However in situations where no one is using a MIC it would be even more important to give a COMMAND to a Squadmate whilst knowing what the teammates have setup like the TYPE of GRENADE or MUNITIONS.
The pictures I've added are to explain further my thoughts on how it can be integrated into the game play and make it smoother.
Here you can see the options that are presenting the ENGAGE wheel. When you know what your Squadmates have. In this scenario it would be something like this.
Moving clockwise.
GRENADE - FRAG/MINI or STUN
SCOUT - Multiple target ping. At Least the whole team. Max 4 for BR quads/Gauntlet.
SMOKE - SMOKE or INCENDIARY. This could be coming from Grenade launchers.
DESTROY - LARGER munitions or gadgets? Over-shoulder launchers or Ordinance
This is where you can see what you Squadmates have selected so you can give COMMANDS based on the loadout/kit.
This is the current setup for the WHEEL
Here you can see there is an open slot. It would be a good idea to hold the JOYSTICK ⬆️ and then "X" to select, giving you another wheel possibly which just the 4 related options.
That wheel will then show the setup explained of what Squadmates have on hand and are ready to be COMMANDED to use.
Also to note. If everyone does have the same classes you will obviously have only the options for the class so of course it would always be wise to be able to set up better with your friends in the lobby. Or as well with the randoms in the chopper before the full time countdown to drop is complete.
*Also if there was a in-game settings options that allowed you to select which WHEEL was then able to be shown to make the option to COMMAND your Squadmates or use CALLOUTs first.
Even more to add. IMPROVED LEVELING.
Players tend to have a prefered classes and using the CLASS PLAY STYLE chart/graph that is already cataloged on their action report/dossier would be a way to get people to have more range and versatility. This metric might be useful to improving the leveling algorithm.
