Orders on tactical map

Would it be possible to have the orders issed by the leaders of squads other than your own displayed on the tactical map? They could be greyed out so that your own order is still clearly visible.

Absent a workable inter-squad voip implementation, I think that being able to see what other squad leaders are planning to do would help cross-squad cooperation quite a lot.

Also, whilst on the subject. It would be cool to have the V.I.P. more clearly indicated on the map during extraction rounds so that his team can tell where he is.

Now that is genuinely an excellent idea. I hate not knowing what other squads are doing when no one is commander.

Should be implemented for sure.

But it should be done when the squad leader hits caps lock for the larger map. Not on the minimap. It would just be confusing.

There are also maps where its just a lone guy. I can NEVER tell where he is unless i actually look at every single person till i find a guy with a weird pilot helmet.

I love this idea....

Mainly because the commander generally doesn't tell anyone where the other squads are and where they are going. This would really help people to undertsand what needs to be done and what is being covered.

Good Suggestion

It would be a great idea, if it could be done. Also, allowing the squad leader to set multiple waypoints would be good. That way a squad leader could set them, and then the squad would be able to follow them without receiving new orders all the time.
