Different colours for "enemy spotted"

[Kayback]

I was playing last night and my team was running somehwere, I forget, but a badguy ran up behind most of my team, I was Tail End Charlie. Problem was I was an engineer, and I was a little too far away to be effective with the shotgun, and the pistol didn't kill him in time.

However I was hitting "enemy spotted" and he was just showing up as a normal red dot on the screen.

Now I don't know how much impact this would have on the game, but how about something spotted by a team mate would either flash on the radar, or light up a different colour?

While I don't know if it would have helped in this situation I know a couple others where you are under attack by a sniper and there are like 5 snipers indicated on the map. Having one pulse orange or something will let the rest of the team know who they should be shooting at.

Sometimes by the time you've gone "There is a guy behind you, and I can't shoot him, he's over on the left, behind the tree with the pink flowers" the enemy has killed you and your team, or most of it.

going "Q" click, shoot would be much more effective. Especially if some visual emphasis was put on it.

Since 1.3 when a squad mate spots something, it shows up green to me. Really confusing because green is the color of your squad and any vehicles they are in.

This happened pre 1.3, but is more common again, same as every other bug. EA seem to be enhancing the bugs, not the game lol

Re: Different colours for "enemy spotted"

I've had the green thing a few times now. Several times I've not shot at a tank because it's been green on my map, only to have it mow me down... Another one I've started having that I've never had before is team-mates with no name over their heads, and not showing up on the map. When you're close in you can tell from the uniform tha they're friendly, but when they're in a vehicle... Personally, I don't wait with the crosshairs over a target to see if a red name appears... If it doesn't have the blue or green name that friendlies have all the time, I shoot... It's kind of like the red tag bug, but there is no tag at all...

I don't think I'd want to see things in different colours when they were spotted. If a squadmate shouts out a "spotted" and there are enemy soldiers nearby on the map, I'll shoot them. I'm not that concerned about which particular one my squadmate was talking about - they all have guns, and they're all just as dangerous. Vehicles and snipers are already distinguished from regular infantry, and that's enough for me.

Yes, way i tell is that enemy spots flash green, and if they flash, they die
