Throughout all of the BF series, the comms ring hasn’t changed much. What phrases would you like added or removed from the game? What ones would you like to keep the same? I think I’d be pretty pissed if they removed the ‘thank you’ button. It encourages friendly gameplay. Maybe add a “stop camping on a tall building” button? That’d be great.

Your mouth is the best communication tool

Agreed, but we had a mic discussion in a thread yesterday. And we discussed reasons people can’t use mics

I’d really like an “incoming” com on the commorose, though it really needs to be kept simple on consoles.

I think they need to fix the “Need Ammo” one. I select it all the time, but Support players never drop ammo packs (obvious sarcasm)

I really like the "explosives and follow me comms. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve spotted the hell out of a mine and we still ran over it. Of course the driver also ignored the alarms too so we were probably already screwed…

I’ll definitely be using my mic. But I also acknowledge there are a lot of players around the world who speak different languages, given you can play in servers dedicated to your language, the comms ring is universal.

Also, I’d hate to deal with the static/feedback/low-talkers you deal with when working on mics.

As a squadleader it would be nice to have a little bit mor squad control.As a squadleader you have the following options…Maybe as a second Ring.  
Up = Attack/Defend/Move  
Left = Flank Left  
Right = Flang Right  
Down = Supressive fire (there)  
Left/Up = Attack agressive (loud)  
Left/Down = Go stealth/silence  
Right/Up = Cease-fire/Hold your fire!  
Right/Down = Regroup on me.  
Follow me not necessary because squadmembers should follow squadleader anyways.  
No operation flashpoint but something deeper than now.  
Ofcourse context sensitive. So if squadleader crouch, squadleader ‘whispers’ and have maybe different options.  
Squadleader makes appropiate militairy handsignals [historynet.com/hand-signals-the-vocabulary-of-battlefield-stealth.htm](http://www.historynet.com/hand-signals-the-vocabulary-of-battlefield-stealth.htm)  
This could be easily implemented in a singleplayer as well [Singleplayer 2.0](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/singleplayer-2-0/101232)
