Please allow us to ping the mini map to point out where targets are. Some people simply don't read chat or totally ignore it, at least having the ability to ping the map to point towards the enemy would be a step towards improving pugging.

Like a satellite ping? With a global cooldown? As a module?

Sure, I'm game!

like in lol, clicking with a left mouse key on the minimap to make a shining spot there visible for every teammate
the only way to ping like that now it's to take the company command and use a whole separate screen

While it WILL be abused by idiots - I agree. Pinging the battlemap and having it translate onto the minimap or on the HUD would be awesome.

WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO ZOOM THE MINIMAP IN AND OUT TO.

I am pretty sure this idea was brought up for the Artemis Controller with the integrated touchscreen it had.

If they released a proper controller (with headset support) then I'd be for it. I would also be for it if only Commanders could use the option as opposed to anyone.

If you could mute people's pings can you can their voip, then sure!

I like it, a lot.

The old Age of Empires games had a simple "alert" that could be placed on the mini-map to draw allies' attention, and I think it would work quite well in MWO.

(But yes: I would prefer the ability to perma-block pings from any players that are just screwing around.)

Could be that if regulated to lance and the main leader it would not be abused as much, and promote sticking together as a lance.
