It sounds cool.
Only problems I see are...
#1. There's barely any instances where you have enough people in the same place that can carry out a demonstration for a massive plan. You just doesn't happen to have a handful of people able to stay around this board unfortunately.. people are too busy doing other things (defending, repairing, etc)
#2. Communication won't be very hard in Renegade 2007, with a built in voice comm. It might be better, because you'll have the whole team listening and playing at the same time, as you speak.
What we could do however, is put a map of the level accessible by pressing a button. (like Q)
