I will be honest I haven’t thought this one through so feel free to shoot holes in it if it is bad for one reason or another.
It is just something that came to mind at the end of a Thunder round today.
We held the Castle. All the blue guys died and decided to join us at the castle at this point the comms were hell but also the entire castle sort of turned into white medic signs.
Something I sort of said half seriously and half joking is: What they should really introduce is Green medic signs for your squad so it is clear which of the many medic signs on the map are your squad.
Realism issue: I mean the entire thing is already not very realistic but I guess the argument could be made you would recognize the voice of your squadmates between the voices of others calling out.
I am not entirely sure what the effect would be. I think it would help with local comms a little bit when there are a lot of people. And it might help out new medics to find their squad easier as well.
At the sametime the negative effect of it could be that others get revived less but really it should be your squad medic that gets you. You should still revive others but only when it doesn’t hurt your squad.

Re: Green Medic Signs
Not possible with default BF2 settings and too much work to reverse this for little to no benefit.
