ping marker

[✠Rumcajs✠]

I honestly and personally don't like that idea, but if it is already in the game and because it makes the game unrealisticly easier than before there should be some kind of penalty for using it.
in example it could be some voiceover stuff added. For example when you use ping marker to mark enemy soldier or tank your soldier yells "enemies", enemy tank", "amerykaner" or "panzer!" or whatever so the enemies that are close enough could hear you. Finally we would be able to hear our enemies and the game would be more immersive.

BTW You have any other ideas how to implement voiceover stuff recorded by actors into the game?

I love the pinging system, yes, it's a bit unrealistic, but man does it help. I fully agree that you should yell something out that can be heard by enemies as well.

I've heard voice over may come into play later...much more relevant now that we have specific markers for different enemies (tanks, inf, OPs, garrisons, etc) as before you'd only be yelling "Look at the eyeball!"

+1 Good idea.

As a SL it's frantic as hell with command squad and team squad.. if we get ping system which also shouts stuff out..

While playing as SL of a recon squad me and my sniper where doing overwatch and I thought of the ping system as non verbal signal like point towards the enemy, like aiming with your hand..
one might think why didn't they do that.. they must have had a good reason for that.

all i know that it's not that big of an issue and it sure help if you got a squad that plays together.. they can all focus in on the enemy even when voice comms are down.. as unfortunately that was the case for a few games..

I play with a lot of Euros who while their English is great it's not ehir first language and often it takes a bit to vocalize what they wish to share with the squad. This ping system is fast and simple. "3 INF on my ping" instead of "enemy over by the wall by the tree that looks like a bear next to that hill over there" I like the new ping

I think thiis is really bad and keeps people away from communicating with each other. This game is more and more going into a BF direction . And this is not a compliment.

Agree, 100%. We have mics. The mic communication is always better.

There will always be shy or anxious people who don't want to chat away, giving them a ping system is nice for them I guess, but now there's nothing to encourage them to use the mic at all.

I don't mind leading a silent squad, but there's something so much better about "127, 100 meters, houses" and now I'll be sure to hear it less.

I don't like the new ping system.... what was wrong before??? now when scoping through binoculars you can't place a marker without shaking all over and inaccurately placing a marker?? Maybe I'm missing something there. Anyways, how is this realistic? I liked the authentic feel of the game prior. IMO it was a step in the wrong direction.
