4. Something else?

I don't like 1 or 2, but they don't really give away much info. Number 3 gives away the killer's position but also what resources the enemy team has (or doesn't have) in that area. That's no good.

QFT.

1 would be relatively innocuous, and perhaps useful for newbies.
2 Would be fairly harmless, but wouldn't add much either.
3 is too much. Bad Company 2 uses that system (pretty sure that's the game I'm thinking of) and I can use it to find out who killed me, where they are, where they're going, and who else is in the area. That's bad enough for normal squads, but it would pretty much be the death of cloaking as a playstyle.
