I love the idea of everyone following building orders - however I really do not think that pre-defined structures would be very cool. I like seeing different buildings, however slightly, every time I play AoS. What if instead of a structure made of blocks, it could be like the tent. It would take a certain amount of time to be "complete" after it is placed - team members must be close enough as if capturing a control point. People already build like crazy around the tent, which is usually in a random location needing minimal defenses. This would still give them incentive to build in a more strategic location, but it wouldn't be filling in the same frame every time: it would be freeform construction around the new tent in order to protect it. I can see however that there are often flaws in people's buildings: maybe there could just be blueprints available if you wanted to use them to aid in team building efforts. Players could even create their own blueprints, which might be extra useful for clans.
Markers would be awesome. It would also be nice to be able to place markers from the map, not sure if someone said that already :D. I would think that marker placement should also send an automatic chat message, otherwise putting a marker on the intel when it is under attack would be useless if it isn't in view!
The one things I really, really want, whether it is visual markers or just voice commands, is the ability to map commands to a
single keypress! I used to play Ravenshield a lot and I got pretty good at using the voice menu, which required THREE keys to get a message out! This doesn't make any sense whatsoever - especially since there were about 25 completely useless commands in that game and 5 worthwhile ones ("Tango spotted" and "go go go!" :P). I'm gonna be saying "tango spotted" many, many times in the course of a match, so I should just be able to hit F1 while spraying bullets instead of floundering around with a menu.
I've always wanted to be able to include my grid location as a macro in chat, but visual markers would basically make this obsolete.
Another thought: it would be nice to have better logic for where things are displayed on the small radar. Currently things seem to get stuck in the corner for a wide range of angles, which sucks when the enemy tent is concealing their intel :) If it was calculated as a projection from a circular radar, markers/such would only appear in the corner if they were actually at a 45 degree angle to you.
