As everybody just runs and guns with less or more impact on the match, I think adding better score mechanics would contribute to more passive cooperation between players. Rewarding ppl for pinging enemy vehicles or mg stations, from someone spawning on their spawan point etc. would actually make ppl more likely to use actual game mechanics beside running and shooting. Adding a grid to the map also would allow ppl to ping part of the map, where they could use air support(which I guess would make plane players more happy), artillery support, at gun etc.

I agree. People should be rewarded for pinging enemy locations and vehicles since planes (at least Allied P-38) heavily depend on location spot. In addition spawning at Rally points and using supplies should also give credit to the Engineer squad who built it.
Half of those things are already present.
Such as deploying rally points, people spawning on rally points, reviving others people minions, supressing/ killing enemies that are using mgs, and many others.
Those have been added during OBT.
For the spotting… I’m not entirely sure on this one, like, its not present in terms of do rewards, but its a whole complex system. And as I said, I’m not too sure about the outcome. As you have to think about, in some games, people pings to much, and as a bomber my self, I have no idea where to land my bombs.
Plus, it would just spam the cluster the UI. And it would be just free so for everyone. Something that im not sure devs will allow that.
So on this one, I’m neutral.
Well see what the others thinks.
Cheers.
Maybe I convey my thoughts in the wrong way, what I meant is getting rewards in points for doing so. Like getting +50 for a squad that spawned on your rally, or getting +5 for marking the enemy tank. Also, displaying them to the player is important as it gets you fell more rewarded and encourage you to do so, like for example in r6 siege.
As far as I have seen, if you ping objective like a tank or mg nests there show up on the map as a single mark. Pinging a specific grid on map like I proposed indeed could be a spam mess, but I think it should be limited in some way like pings in LoL or WoT. As for pop up about getting points I think there would be no problem with that, as there is already a pop-up at the bottom of the screen when you kill someone stating with what you killed someone and how many, so all there will be to add will be a number of points and some new messages.
You can see them in the hero awards screen section by putting your pointer on top of each soldiers.
Personally, I don’t feel like that the UI should be clustered with even more numbers and text.
But if can be disabled or enabled at player’s will, I’m all for it.
I apologize, as free, I meant free XP. Doing less thing just like watching tanks and the others. Perhaps given to snipers? But even than, not to sure.
But yeah, sometimes it’s best to have the screen clean as possible.
As we have the major issue of having UI clustering your screen just because a color gradiations and opacity changer are not a thing over markers and capture points when you look at the them…
