most time i playing SQUAD LEADER many player request "SL nme's on my ping SL nme fobs on my ping SL nme vehicle on my ping SL nme truck on my ping SL nme rally on my ping" this is so freaking tired and annoying.

so what. then add option for squad lead to enable or disable pinging by squad members. no need to freaking remove the entire feature. i liked it as squad lead.

Players are blessed with the gift of sight so they can find the enemy on their own. Call outs are far more effective then burdening squad leader to use windows paint mid combat.

Removing the feature is for the best as it won't intimidate rookie squad leaders with overwhelming trash, as they might not even bother to figure if you could turn it off and then you have squadmates that will be crying about how its off, just like this topic.

Some might not have microphone, but thats their fault for not using one at this day and age in a game that puts emphasis on communication.

Absolutely killed the need to report enemies. Everyone just pinged instead. Goes against the core idea of teamwork

ping is Red Orchestra, thus too arcady ;)

I totally see the arguments for removing the ping

personally i liked it

marking targets now takes that extra step with grid, im a fan a raising the skill cap on any game.

i may like it more than having the ping after some time

jeez, if this is how you want to raise "skill cap"....

yea its a very minor thing i agree, but a forest is made of trees, and there was one straw that broke the camels back
