When players are talking they should be highlighed on the minimap

<div class="IPBDescription">for the commander mostly</div>When players are talking they should be highlighed on the minimap -

I often find that players just yell "med pack please" into microphone when I'm commanding and I don't know where they are.

If their little arrow or dot on the minimap glowed for a second or two i'd be able to find them more easily.


Overall when players talk to each other the commander would be able to monitor their associated activity and location much more easily giving the commander a better situational awareness.

I agree, this would help tremendously.

It could be as simple as their minimap dot changing colour if they are on the mic.

I'd also like a little "talking" icon above the player's head in-game when they're using the mic, perhaps next to their nametag.
If they use the request commands (z-1, z-2, z-3, z-4) there could also be a specific icon.

minor issue could be that you might not be able to distinguish when several people are talking at once, but i think would be very helpful most of the time. also easy to implement i guess.

PLAYER ARROW SHOULD BE MORE VISIBLE ON MINIMAP. Just like my caps are. There's lots of yellowy stuff on minimap, HUD and so on and it's really hard to tell where you are in blink of an eye.
