Well, I should not ask if I'm spotted. I am, all the time. The question is, am I spotted by Paik, Casper, Rao, drone or prox sensor? On next patch I would like to have one more spotting equipment please.

@ElliotLHi see no reason for an automated scan that doesn't require any player actions considering there is no commander mode. has to be paik or rao

@CPU_UK I always thought that one was Paik scanning an area?

@Psubond yes, if you got scanned by pike you will get this message on the screen (somewhere down in the middle). But if she using her Scan, she will automatic spotted on the Mini map.When you got scanned by Sentry it will make a Buzz (so it is possible you know that you got spotted)All other Scans are silent like the proximity sensors, SOFLAM, the Drone and the close-range sensor of the vehicles.But I think that most of the players are not aware that they get mini map spotted by shooting their gun.@ElliotLH yes, she scans an area and when you in it you get this message.

Every time you use an un-supressed gun... you are spotted. There is also a generic surveillance that automatically runs, a bit like the BF4 Satellite scan that spots. I guess DICE were worried the choppers\ botles might have problems finding infantry to mow down on such big maps.

@Psubond Agreed. I'd rather it was a player actually doing something too. Also thanks @CountSero.

@Psubond Look in-game for a message, it literally says "surveillance Scan".

@Psubond Could be him as well, or @CPU_UK may be right. I just don't remember hearing about any automated systems.

I'm mostly leaning towards Paik as I normally see that message before I'm PP-29ed by someone running her.
