Warnings for incoming LRMs need to be louder and more insistent. RIght now, current warnings are too similar in visuals and sound to be easily distinguishable from other messages during intense firefights. The flashing warning basically looks identical to the critical damage and base cap warnings, and Betty's quiet, polite warnings generally get drowned out by all the pew pew and dakka dakka.

What I propose is to add some audibly distinct warning tones for when you are being TAGged or NARCed, and when missiles are in the air and coming down. Anyone who has played any kind of flight sim or used vehicles in Battlefield 3 will know what I'm talking about. Here's an example from Battlefield 3's Jets:




It would also be neat if the missile incoming tone rose in pitch or frequency of notes, like the warning beeps in the Freespace series of games:

Not only would something like this be much easier to pick out among the chaos of weapon reports and impacts, it would also add a nice bit of variety to the game's overall soundscape.
