3-D Spotting returning?
I'm personally not a fan of the 3-D spotting but it sounds like it may be making a comeback.

Amazed that I haven’t seen this mentioned yet..
Spotting/ pinging distant targets does not work properly since they introduced changes to spotting.
It worked before the update. Now it doesn’t.
When you ping a distant target to put a red dot over them, you can barely see the red dot and enemy info above them!
The red dot literally flickers briefly and then you an even see it!
This applies to both your own pings and pings performed by your squad mates.
You literally can’t see them!!
You end up having to look away from the pinged enemy to put them in your peripheral view to try and get the red dot to show up.
You end up location-pinging the ground next to the enemy just to show squad mates where you’re trying to ping.
Location-pings work fine and you can see them clearly as always.
Pinging nearby enemy seems to work ok.
But direct pinging of distant enemy is now broken.
I will say this yet again..
How the hell is it possible that an update like this can be pushed out when it doesn’t work?!
Dice obviously couldn’t even be bothered to test the pings. If they had, they would have seen that they don’t work.
Seriously, it’s like Groundhog Day with every update 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@creepnpeep I’ve noticed the old ping system take two presses of Q now, rather than one. Sometimes it doesn’t spot at all, so I’ll mash the button and suddenly it will mark, then unmarked, then mark again. Too bad a good 50% of the time my squad can’t even see it. I know they can’t as we have comms and they tell me they can’t see it as they run in and get waxed by the player I’d marked. Swing and a miss IMO, which is par for 2042.
Spotting does not seem as precise as before. Also I can never tell if the vehicle that I am trying to spot is actually being spotted.
What happened to the green "Go here" marker? I can not do it anymore on PS5.

According to the notes the location marker was removed:
- Pressing the ping button once will no longer place a location ping, but instead check for targets such as soldiers, vehicles or objects near the point of that placed ping.
- @ElliotLH That is too bad. I thought it was a useful tool.
