3D Spot
Thoughts on 3D spotting? Do we really want another game with doritos over our heads? If this is the case, im out.

@BaronVonGoonI agree that visibility is a big issue.
But spotting as in BF4 (and BF1 to some level) is also a bad game-mechanic.
Getting spotted and being sniped by vehicles/snipers from far away, air-vehicles shooting doritoes like sitting ducks, being spotted 500 meters away by a sniper while trying to flank (etc). It's not always good for game-play.
Personally I think a good ping-system would be perfect and BFV failed in this regard. If a ping-system will not work, spotting like BF1 is "tolerable" (but still to much in my book).
@cso7777 I like the spotting like in BF4 / 1, as long as the players are only spotted for you and not for the whole team.
only being spotted for you defeats most of the purpose of spotting enemies. You spot to communicate to 31 other strangers that there is an enemy over yonder.
The ping system never took the place of this because it was only for your 3 squad members. Ping system would get too spammy with 31 players and worse with 63 teammates.
I think they could have improved the 3d spotting so one couldn't blindly spam it. Maybe they could have fixed the show thru smoke issue as well although I imagine that's not easy otherwise they would have fixed it already.

I'd personally like the ping system to return but red pings get shown for the whole team and like BF5, don't follow the enemy everywhere they go.
The spotting in BF1 was a bit much. I would just run around constantly clicking Q.
I didn't think I would like the directional spotting in BFV, but it grew on me. Maybe a combination of the 2 limited to squad mates only with a distance limit and time limit.
