Need support macro improvement

[Fulgenzio]

Hello everyone, I am new to these forums, and I registered to post a few ideas I had...
Need support:

I think that when you choose the "Need support" macro and ask for specific help there should be an icon visible for 5 seconds normally and 35-40 with tactical view which says.

<Player name> needs <Insert Support Type> support!

Just like the ammo one for machinegunners, which is 3d and visible using tactical view.
It should be visible only to your squad, but if it is too complicated it is ok even to all your team.

I think it would be great to localize people better and know where are main "hotspots", not just Objective A or B....

This might seem useless but I've honestly seen that multiple times people ask for a determined kind of help and almost nobody checks the icon (ex D7) near each message and just runs around, teaming up with whom he finds as soon as a random firefight begins.

Tell me your opinions.

...I don't see much participation :S

I approve of your idea.

Good idea in theory, my only concern would be an overcluttered screen which would make it hard to see anything.

In RO1 when someone needed support at least it automatically said where. In RO2 it doesn't, I never know where they need it.

At least now, if you type it in text chat it shows your grid ref. Now they just need to make it show your grid ref when you use voice chat.

I don't know about RO1 as I never played it, I only have about 180 hours in this game, which I bought during summer sale.
But I think it really needs implementation, even if it is a RO1 (as you say) port, otherwise situation is just as I said, a bunch of run and gun people teaming up to die in a hole at the first arty shell.
