Emulating the 'paint on map' from 'guild wars 1', would be a better way for commanders to issue orders. It is more open form and allows for a more emergent type of game play than the poor system we currently have. Not many are using the current system as it is.

For those that have no experience with guild wars 1, in team battles one could use the mouse to paint on symbols, lines of attach etc. just like you would in a paint/art program, on the mini map. Your team members could see this and also respond in kind by painting on the map. In terms of MWO, I think 'paint on map' should be for commanders only. One can have the paint colour be different, with each colour associated with a particular lance or team commander.

There are many other ways one can take this idea too.
