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

Better just to wait and see how it's implemented before getting too worked up I would say.

@Tank2042Man I like it overall, at times it can feel a little cheap. Visually it can be really hard to see enemies, even in the open because of the colors, so it’s a bandaid for that. It’s an easy and intuitive way to communicate with your teammates. I think that it adds more to the game then it takes away. Battlefield has never been about camping somewhere for a long time without being detected.However, I thought BFV’s implementation was probably the best. It was a perk that allowed certain classes to spot? The flare was perfectly balanced. Soon as you went behind cover, the spot would disappear. BFV had it nailed down to a science I thought. Spotting was limited, balanced, and it made a lot sense.BF2042 has the break line of sight to make it the spot disappear. I’m not sure what my teammates see exactly? Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one spotting on my team. I’m pretty sure that has some truth to it because I almost always get the highest assist in matches.They could also further balance spotting by making it only visible to teammates within 200 meters or whatever. I’d also be concerned that would cost more CPU performance or performance somewhere else? Little features can add up and make the game less stable and smooth. I could be very wrong on this though.

Another "legacy feature" returns to Battlefield then.They might make a fully fledged BF game out of 2042 yet.My personal Wishlist:Server browser, Platoon support and optional All ChatEdit: also Squad management and team switch

Two things here,1. I prefer a BFV approach to it, where majority of the soldiers just do a basic area ping ' having an audio feedback of what you pinged, like if it was an enemy tank or something ' but the recon with the UAV or the spotting binos ' can't remember their name ' is the only one that can 3D spot.2. Shouldn't it be flipped where the 3D spotting is only seen by your squad and the pings are for squad and team? Seems like that would make more sense and also might tone down the effectiveness of the 3D spotting.That way. If you are 3ded, you don't have the whole team knowing where you are at...Just my two cents..

@UP_Hawxxeye Squad management. One of my biggest issues with the game so far. Having squad of blueberries/campers/AFK players and no way out of it.Atleast allow me to move between squads

Indeed, your wishlist pretty much mirrors my own thoughts, hopefully it comes to fruition. 👍

how is that going to be any different then what is already in the game?
proxy-balls
caspers drone
paiks wallhack
boris' turret
shooting
auto-soptting
all these things already mark you more or less... could the real issue be that it is almost next to impossible to distinguish friend from foe since we are fighting the bloody clone-wars and the next map is going to be an even bigger flustercluck then stranded? nah must be because of other reaosns....

@X-Sunslayer-X I welcome the return of the manual spot but agree there is far to much gadget and 'automatic' spotting in the game.

BF1 had spotting about right for me....

I can't believe I forgot about that.
I also added team switch for the heck of it

@UP_LordPlumber Technically you can leave your squad and join another, you just can’t choose which squad to go to (which is ridiculous of course). It’s not intuitive at all, with too many steps to get there, but it can be done, on PC anyways.

Well if it's 3D spot then it's different to your list which are mini map spots only.
3D spot means you don't have to disengage from looking where your soldier is looking to see a spotted enemy. With a mini map spot you often don't have line of sight so you still can't actually see exactly where the enemy is and start firing.
It's also why the Boris turret was nerfed (and Paik to some extent) because it was 3D spot on steroids with the silhouette spotting.

Just a heads up, according to what I've been reading 3D spot is not confirmed as returning, it's just a slight rework of the static orange ping marker.

From a visual standpoint I’m interested to see how they implement it. I’m constantly pulling my sights off of someone, and then have to try and snap back to them. Everyone is so dimly lit and gray it’s hard to track people at times. Low contrast is awful, and as I get older, the harder it is visually to keep on target when the visuals aren’t clear.
Was something changed recently? It seems like it’s has been harder to see enemies lately.

If I’m already aiming at someone, I definitely want them to be spotted just for me. I feel like that’s an accessibility thing. It’s a game overall. Plus, it’s kind of an advantage for aim assist and makes aiming with a mouse harder.

When I manually spot someone, that information should be relayed to my squad mates only. Not the entire team. I don’t think you should be spotted while sitting in a bush and someone happens to pan across your spot while ads either.
I thought BFV pretty much had this nailed down perfectly as someone else already mentioned. 3d spotting works, but should be limited.

@Ironhead841 3d spotting was a nice system and the ping system would be an awesome addition, don't know why its not easily combined...
the 3d spotting missing pings for coordination and the ping system is missing (or its not/not well implemented) spotting of vehicles....

I'm looking forward to any change, currently I prefer 3d spotting over ping just for the cause of not beeing able to tell my mates that there's a tank directly looking at us :P
