What do the little blue squares on the minimap mean?

Solution 1:

Blue ¤ on mini-map means friendly anti-tank mine or friendly C4. You can also see these symbols over them when you're nearby. Even in HC mode.

Solution 2:

I think they are one of the following:

  • capture points (the blue square), which your squad leader has designated you defend (the lines from the corners)
  • mines: the antitank mines (and possibly claymores) are small squares (I seem to recall them being circles) with corner lines

a picture of it would help greatly, just to be sure, but I'm quite sure it's mines. will try to make my own screenshot later.
