Comms idea
Hi! So I have an idea for making communication easier and better for next game. A lot of players don't want to use headsets and open up their microphone and they're left out of communication channels...

@Teal_Pipo_Fredo leading a squad of randoms is like herding cats. Occasionally you'll get some cohesion and you get a squad that meshes like you've been playing together for years, but that's rare. If I'm squad leader, and they're just doing their own thing, I'll put the objective near them, in the hopes they at least get squad points for kills in the objective.
You have some good ideas, but I'm afraid the typical gamer will just suffer information overload if you start throwing too much at them.
The more concise the order, the better.
Attack here
Defend here.
Un-alive those guys there.
Spotting should be done by the player, no "auto-spot"
BF4 is far from perfect, and the only way to counter being spotted is to keep moving and try to take advantage of cover.
Spotting encourages team play, and nerfing the spot function will only result in an increase of lone wolf snipers, bravely watching their team loose from the edge of the map.

Didn't considered that information overload before but you're right. 🤔
Personally, I would like to take or give precise information from or as a squad leader. Of course, it could be an option to toggle these pings off if one feels overwhelmed. Also colours, opacity and size could be customised.
- @Teal_Pipo_Fredo The only reason I know that will happen is my son and his CoD overlords joined me in a couple matches and were overwhelmed at all the stuff going on at a contested objective, I haven't heard 13 year olds talk like that since the Modern Warfare lobbies of old. I had to break it down to "go to the flashing letter on top of the flag pole and stay there until it's time to move to another objective." It's like training goldfish
I know I live in a bubble and I am sometimes caught up dreaming or in autopilot mode while playing. I feel disconnected from other players because I don't use microphone for personal reasons. Still would like to have an option when wanting to play as a team to communicate with others.
I am sorry for not understanding humans of this time and era and what they see in gaming or life in general 😳
- @Teal_Pipo_Fredo I rarely play with a mic, the comms rose takes some practice, but after a few hundred hours, it becomes muscle memory to use effectively.
In a global arena, language communication suffers, giving gamers a way to communicate via in game commands circumvents that.
