Could we make so all maps have dod on each map visible?
It will increase quality of play a lot more and people will not get banned/kicked for mistakenly shooting assets in DOd depending on the server rules.

I did some research on that over a year ago so I guess I'm the best person to tell you it's not gonna happen without some binary magic.
Right now there are 2 possibilities:
1. Printing DOD of just one side
2. Editing the minimap image itself
The first option is pretty useless for obvious reasons and has only be used on a few COOP layers.
The second option is also useless because there may only be one minimap file per map and on quite a few maps DODs differ on a per-layer basis.

Well then break it, like you broke all the seats. Allowing every seat in a chopper to be filled then making your own seats for guys who don't have any. Its cool ASF everything you guys do.

One option would be adding all DOD zones on the minimap, just different coloring for each layer which will be clarified somewhere in the corner.

Possible yes, but not sure if it wouldnt get too cluttered especially if all 4 layers have different DoD. Also would have no option to turn it of which might be annoying.
Maybe the map icons system could be used? My idea would be to have a map sized icon with the DoD lines for each layer that uses different DoDs which get drawn on the map using the same system as the contact icons and have it be non-interactable like the mine markers. As far as i know those markers support transparency but I have no idea if the icons can be different resolutions and how it would affect those that play the game itself on different resolutions.

Maybe just have more forgiving punishment.
Sometimes it seems a bit too quick.

There would be no way to show the DOD on the map like BF2 showed the limit of the map?
You could put these bars, maybe a thinner and more transparent version of them only in the DOD area and not around the whole map
