Possible to get a Sqaud talk? So, you can only talk to your sqaud? Talk or Type.
How about, A Perk. Called Beacon, If they think an OBS is near, you can Choose a Becon Perk, Activated by F8 or something.
It will throw up a text
DUNE44 Has ALERTED a BEACON
(And you check your Map, it will show Shock Wave type thing around the player on the map)
I think that would be cool.

Squad chat either text or voice isn't possible unfortunately, the beacon can be done but it would be more of a novelty, the actual usefulness of such a thing would be pretty limited...

By the time you set off the beacon, I would have killed you and been long gone. Only to hunt the outskirts of the beacon for marines trying to find out what's at the beacon... Kinda funny actually .. PUT IT IN!! lol

Nope, seems useless to me. And isn't there already taunts you can scream out that make a little ! or the map. Obscurity moves so fast this seems pointless to me.

Thought it would be handy, cause some times. They are running from the obs and DON't die, and you are like where are you
tIt's to late.

You can signal them via taunts, or use a smoke nade. Light the obscurity on fire, that way he does the signalling via a loud roar and flaming body. Squads are one way to really find out where an obscurity is, you just wait for one of the squad icons to drop off and there you go. Being able to signal as you said just seems like a useless addition that would very rarely get used, and we don't want auto text coming up either. Sorry, but I'm against this idea.
3rd person is too buggy (walking up steps etc) and also takes away from the immersion. Also, picture in picture would most likely be extremely hard to do I would imagine. If it was easy, a video camera perk (Delta Force 2 style) would be more beneficial then your suggestion IMO.
Cheapshots, I'll just ignore the eat my shorts bit

You can place a camera on a tripod and it shows the camera's view on the top right of your screen in a small window.

Would be cool, doubt it will happen As I said I don't think the engine is capable of picture in picture.

Haven't played Crysis, other then the demo.
I don't think C4 with video camera's is needed, and what happens to your guy whilst you view the camera's. If it was possible (not sure it is) I would probably still be against the idea just because it would make you feel disembodied from your character if you can just fling to different viewpoints. Which is the opposite of what we aim to achieve. It would also be a great deal of work for something that I do not see as very beneficial. Oh, we don't have control over the middle mouse button either...
Keep the ideas flowing though

lawl xD
What if we had squad view? I don't know if the engine will support it, but kinda like those rainbow 6 games where In the upper corner you can see what your squadmates cameras are seeing. Maybe this would only be available for the Squad leaders and make them more of a "Master Chief" figure to all the squad mates. He knows more, and can perform slightly better. And in order for people not to just spam the squads, maybe give people with the most game time superior to other members? Idk, just thinkin =)

i dont like that adea johnny, (dont mean to be mean, just voicing opimnion), say if u wanna be a squad with ur friends and some random join and they win and are squad leader, then u dont have control of your squad and needa make a new one, and so on. soz but dont like that idea

it could work, only if you know the people in your squad that wont abuse there rank privillege.
But i still think squads are fine how it is atm, but these ideas could move onto mw2 if there isnt an xmodel limit.

Honestly the idea of switching squad leaders won't be implemented. You have a decent idea behind it, but it would not really be desired in obscurity.
