Cool, ty 
 
Would be as easy as to add just a number to the player's callsign (or name). You could see your team player number on the HUD (as well as you might see other player names and their numbers). And also you could check this data via, for example, pressing TAB and viewing player number plus stats, et cetera.
This could even be extended via standard mesages which you might send to certain player. I think that would be a good improvement from a tactical standpoint. Maybe certain users would not use this but I'm sure on that at the end they would use it at certain extent..
Maybe this could be reinforced via some subtle wave-sound in the moment someone sends you a message. Or a blinking icon. You could always disable this via settings if it annoys you somehow. Nevertheless I've always liked the concept of, at least, one team leader for an squad. The whole thing is to improve communications between the team members during the fight.
I'm not sure on whether spawn points on levels are going to be arranged in some kind of formation for certain game modes or not. But if that would be the case then to have numbered slots in the game lobby (if any..) would be a good thing too. For example, heavy in the middle, medium mechs around the heavy and light wherever else.
If you have any related idea on in-game team communications then, please, post it on here
