It is much to my chagrin that nobody pays attention to "Help Requested". That explains why so many people use "Enemy Sighted" when they didn't actually spot an enemy - as it's the only way to actually call for help when you know you're either about to need to go into an enemy held objective or on the run from enemies and need backup.
It's generally advisable to treat them the same anyway. As often as not, people will use help the requested ping in the midst of being pummeled by multiple enemies, and will be dead long before their team can get there.
Perhaps... but it still alerts the team to the location and, when you die after calling for help, it's a pretty good indication that the baddies can be found in the vicinity. And, since they did not specifically tag an enemy, people don't go to that exact spot expecting to find an opponent and then get ambushed from a different spot.
