          I like your color-coded map dot idea. I'd much rather see something like that than an arrow giving away the exact enemy location.
          
          I think it would actually be really cool to have no indicators on-screen of where an enemy is. This way there can be a "spotting" skill, specialist, or button one would press to highlight the target, which would then be marked for all to see.
          
          I'm sure they could find a way to balance that.
