=== Look Ping ===

~~[[File~~:~~Look Ping.png|right|225px|thumb|The "Look"~~ Ping ~~icon in ''Portal 2''.]]~~

~~When invoked, the '''~~Look Ping''' (default key "F") displays an icon that appears on the screen of both the initiator and their Co-op partner, for the purpose of pinging, or targeting, a specific location within a map. Pings can be used for a variety of purposes, the most common of which is identifying one or more locations upon which a player's Co-op partner should place [[Portals]]. This helps players to effectively co-ordinate their Portal placements in order to solve obstacles, and is often essential when voice communication is unavailable.
