What do the little blue squares on the minimap mean?

Question

On the minimap I occasionally see small blue squares with little lines coming out of the corners. What do they mean? My first guess was that they were nearby explosions, but I think I see them too often for that to be the case.

EDIT: Here's a pic, you can see two in the lower left (they might be circles and not squares like I first thought).

Answer

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.
