Can we place Markers?

[Slewey]

What I mean is you press a button like 'Q' and it places a visual marker with a low audio cue to highlight something for the team to quickly communicate something important.

It places a circle that is color coded depending on what you marked. Yellow is just general objects, Red is enemies, and places a distance indicator as well.

It's a simple idea and it works extremely well regardless if you have a mic and even better if you don't. Even if you have a mic just placing a marker can be a less time consuming way to alert the team of something important than trying to explain it, of course you use it depending on the situation. For people without mics the benefits are obvious since it allows them to easily communicate important things just as quickly without being a liability, for example a person without a mic and is doing a team puzzle and they notice something important they can simply mark the object or point of interest for the team.

I feel this is a far simpler communication tool to implement than something like a communication wheel from Battlefield which probably involves more work and doesn't require voice work, while being simpler and quicker.

Deep Rock Galactic had a really good laser pointer tool that could place markers, tag enemies, tag resources, and even tag players!

Ghost Recon: Wildlands has a ping feature much like you describe, it appears on your HUD and you can visually see it in FPS/TPS too. All with the simple press of Q
