Commo Rose

The Commo Rose is a feature in Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142, and is confirmed to be in the PC version of Battlefield 3. By pressing and holding the Q button on the keyboard, the Commo Rose is brought up, with several options being displayed in a ring around the "Spotted" option.

The Commo rose allows a player to quickly send pre-set messages to other players, faster than the original method of sending messages and spotting, which was via the function keys. One need only click one of the options in order to send a message. The Commo Rose is helpful for players who don't have headsets with microphones.

Some commands cause icons to be displayed for teammates, alerting them of your need.

The Commo rose presents a few different options for players in vehicles. In addition, a second Tactical rose offers squad-related messages.
