Dont you wish you could spot c4, mines and claymores in the same way you can spot people and vehicles? How many times have you barely avoided dying to explosives in the road just to have some unknowing teammate cruise right over them and die horribly? Or you yourself put mines or claymores down and someone who has no conception of what a skull and crossbones means walks or drives right into them. Back me up here people. EA took the time to make an "enemy wheelbarrow spotted" sound file, they can take a little time and make some kind of "look out! mines!" sound.
If you are an engineer, you can do your duty and pick up landmines (and I believe claymores), but other than that, VOIP, team speak or good old 'say team' is about the best you can muster.
It's a great idea - the mines could show up as red skull / crossbones symbols. Still, that never stopped people on your team thinking they are power ups!

Engineer can disable Claymore but you need to come from the back of the mine because coming from the front is suicide. Some servers has disable those symbols so its really anoying
they should have giant bold letters show up on the screen saying "back the fuck away"
you should get the lock on sound when you are close to a friendly one..
i think we need more types of mines, redskulls are just fine, punishing for being killed by friendly mine should be punished with a ban immediatly so to keep idiots of your server!!!
the lockon sound is too annoying and VOIP can't stop other people from thinking that AT mines are c4.
Well check this out, by hitting the ALT key on my keyboard I have discovered ( after many many hours playing) that the Red skull and crossbones will dissapear and re apear. Maybe these idiots have accidentally hit the ALT key and they dont see the warnings of mines and claymores. (Or as I suspect they are just idiots) EA should disable the ability to do this from the keyboard in the next patch. They should also disable punish for anti tank mines in a patch. The terrible thing about this game is you have to contiue to put up with complete idiots, ulike in real combat where idiots are quickly identified and quickly cease to exist never to return.

All soldiers should have the ability to "Mark Minefields" from the "Q" menu. The Commander should also be able to mark minefields on the minimap only (no local flags). Once marked the minefield will show up on the minimap and will have small flags stuck in the ground, only veiwable by the team who planted them.
If the minefield is marked then no team kills against the engineer/sniper are allowed.
