<div class="IPBDescription">Minimap, maximap visibility</div>Usually when I go as a marine and I get a waypoint I like to see where I'm heading to. So I bring up my map to the screen. It <a href="http://imgur.com/bX29P" target="_blank">looks like this</a>:

The problem is that your waypoint is only barely visible on the map (it's in Lava Falls). It's not easy to spot it even on this still image, and it's almost impossible to do it while I'm walking or doing something ingame. So I'd suggest to make it stand out more for easier navigation.

During the time the waypoint somewhat changed but still very hard to find mostly because it's static. It would be great to add some effect to it so you could see where you're heading to.
And another thing: if someone's using voice and you have your map up, it would be great if you would see a speaker icon instead of his little own icon.
And I'd also like to add to this that it'd be great if players on my friends list could get a different color for their names and especially for their map icons so opening the map you can easily find where your buddied currently are. If that could be easily done.
