An updated system where instead of tracking players only through the tracking tablet, it puts everyone's location on the map to see, this would still require having a tracker on you to see you on the map, the tracking tablet would have to be turned on to see a ping of every player every minute or so, longer or shorter depending on balance. Colors could be used to show player status, so a green dot is up and conscious and yellow is unconscious, red is dead. A radio backpack could also be added that would do what the tracking tablet does but also show immediate live updates of all players that are around 50 meters of said player on the map granted they have trackers on them, but the radio backpack would have to be bought from the ATM.
I feel as though this would help bring a sense of unspoken coordination for all game modes, to finding holds on incursion and zombies to trapping Larry on anomaly, players having access to a map with semi updated player locations helps bring more potential ways to play as well as expanding gameplay for classes that could really use the info like heli pilots or medics looking for wounded at a glance. I heard something about air support and artillery being added eventually so you definitely want to have a general idea of where friendlies are to avoid friendly fire on the group of 5 in a room of the building you just called a airstrike on for example.
If this was to be expanded on, buildable relay towers that ping everything around it like only enemies or friendlies could be a good idea along with the towers expanding airstrike/artillery range if that's how it would work.
