"Look over there" markers.

If there isn't any confusion?

It doesn't need to be used if bullets are flying over your head, in that case it's already too late... I'd see this useful before the combat is taking place, not when actually while in a combat.

Exactly.

So is this possible with the BF2 engine?

Than you would be paying attention and know where your Squad mates are looking and who is speaking, Put those 2 factors together and you will look in the same direction and hopefully see the humvee he is looking at. creating markers for each squad mate would just clutter up the screen and its less realistic, if anything the SL marker should be removed and be only visible on the mini map/field map.

Like this??

The Idea is for squad members to be able to communicate positions which is difficult at best in game...

I like this Idea though I doubt it will ever be implemented.
To add to this Idea. I would say that the markers placed by SM's should be exactly like the Current SL 'Observe' marker which can be placed without any Audible. This would cut down on the 'SPAM' if it just made a marker appear without making any cute noise that they like to hear over and over and over..... like "There blowin us away!!" and "SHASHKA!!" (my personal favorite)

I think small markers that don't last a long time would be good, although I don't know about the realism side of it. Plus it would cause a lot of visual clutter on screen.

I was considering bringing something like this up, but I was not sure if it was possible to do a marker for people other than the SL. (engine wise) Would be a good idea though.

To stop the clutter maybe just one marker for all the SM. If someone places a new one the old one (no matter which SM placed it) dissapears.
