Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): You know how in Revolutionary game modes, revs and rev heads have different colored icons? It'd be implemented here in a way where each specific rank gets an icon, and their squad changing the background color of that icon. Alpha Specialist would get a "S" with a red background, Charlie Medic would get a medical + sign with a yellow background, etc.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): At a glance, we'd easily be able to tell their rank and squad. Right now we have colored armor, so identifying squad identity isn't hard, but sometimes engies, specialists, and marines all blend in.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): It'd just be code similar to the Revolutionary game mode, right? Just different colored sprites, based on ID, or assigned at round-join
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Marines get rank-dependant HUD icons above their sprites

I totally forgot about SLs, it's a bitch to tell who's who; I have to hover over every single marine to find them. I know back in box-station they were the only ones with helmet-lights and thus it was easy, but now it's a pain.
EDIT: They also used to get their own backpacks; Engies got industrial, medics got the white+green cross bag, etc.
