I don't like playing with a microphone/headset, so I am using the ping system exclusively to communicate with my team. The ping system is a game-changer. I love it. But I wish there were a couple more options, such as:
1.) In addition to the "going here/attacking there" ping, I'd love a "getting in position, attack on 3..." -- to get the players who don't understand coordinating attacks a chance to learn it.
2.) WAIT UP / SLOW DOWN / THIS IS NOT A RUNNING SIM! --- please, something to get that one person on your team to fall back.
3.) You take the left target, I'll take the right -- or something so that each person on your team is aiming at a different target.
4.) I am opening fire on this target in 3 -- to help coordinate attacks.
There are bound to be more, but in terms of tactical situations, these would help tremendously.

@Professor_DoggyIm pretty much the same, ive never said a word with my mic and I don’t even know if it works XD, i like the wait up or slowdown ping idea, and the Im attacking this target idea, for when a player is knocked down I would like a ping for when an enemy is reviving another player or someone is self reviving, also maybe a ping for ‘’revive me’’ and ‘’do NOT revive me’’ so many times a teammate goes for a revive in such a stupid moment like literally mid gunfight while being shot at lmao or when you obviously hear footsteps directly above and they try anyways and other times they have so much time to revive but they won’t go for it

Thought of a couple more:
1.) You dropped solo and now you are down - I am not coming to rescue you.
2.) Don’t revive me now - enemies nearby.
3.) Enemies are reviving nearby, attack now!

Even more:
1. Have to fall back to heal ping. A lot of times I don't watch health bars so knowing my teammates can't come with me to push because of low health would be great.
2. Let's disengage ping. For those people who want to sit in an area and fight whilst the odds are heavily in the enemies favor.
3. Keep the pressure on ping. A useful ping for people who flank often. Keeping the enemies attention while you swiftly knock one or two from behind is really good.
4. Throw a grenade over there ping. I don't carry 'nades often, so if I could direct my teammates to throw them in a certain spot, that'd be great.
5. Don't come back for me ping. Sometimes it's better tactically to abandon a downed teammate to hold a better position / get the jump on someone. If I'm that someone, I want to let my teammates know.

@PretzelnutcakeUsually by the time you type it, its already too late...
Pings are simple and practically instantly said vs a 5-10 second delay depending on what your trying to type XD
