in BF2 dice added the excellent idea of reporting in the middle of the "comm rose", a very big improvement to the previous versions of BF.

But i think you should be able to report explosives (clays/c4/mines) too, why not?
eg: you and a buddy are heading for a flag. you try to find a nice hiding place to use while capturing it but you almost got blown into pieces of an claymore. of course your mate runs straight into the claymore, nice, and you have to fight 20 nade-spamming enemies trying to kill you by yourself. if you could've reported it it would been a heck more easier.

what do you think?

In game press K, type AT mines @Refinery Flag, etc. Wash, Rinse, & Repeat.

Good idea, but like everyone else said, it won't get added in. Plus I always type it to my team anyway, but they're all retards and get blown up anyway

But it's in the damn code already, they have sound files for them and everything.

And wheelbarrows, of which I have only seen two. (Well, SEEN one, cursed repeatedly at the other due to it being an obstacle when manouvering a tank in an enclosed space.

that would be very useful if you could spot the mines and stuff

QFT

OP, check out your Common_client files. Includes the classic Enemy wheelbarrow spotted *sort-of laugh* in all the major languages of vanilla. Spotting mines, calls for retreat and a few other things were originally intended to be in the game but for some reason were never implemented.

No no, you can't spot a wheelbarrow either. That and spotting mines are in the sound files (also has the demotion music LOL) but not implemented in the game.

It would make the Engineer more effective at clearing out explosives if any player in the game could spot an explosive and a red flag would pop up on the (mini-)map. Maybe a nice idea for BF3.

I have before had to resort to bashing 'negative!' a few times, then jumping up and down on the mines repeatedly to get someone's attention.
He didn't get the hint, rumbled forward, and blew my fleeing ass off with the splash damage.
