Here's a mockup.

Basically just add letters or names above each of the capture points on the compass, and allows players to identify themselves with a short 3/4 digit tag for quick ID. This works really well in Halo, and gives players just that little bit more personalisation :(
The amount of times I look at the compass and not know which point I actually looking at is really bad. Remember the rules of good UI desgin, the less things a user has to memorise, the better!
I also like the idea of having the cap point name floating over the cap point on the map when you look in that direction.

Nice! This should be the function of the Command Console.

TBH after playing some other games like warframe & such the entire look & feel of the HUD, CW and such could be much cooler if done with something graphically more akin to even what the origianl mech5 demo gave us.

Very good suggestion Trout. Seems like a pretty small fix that would do wonders, especially for new players.
