Re: 3-D Spotting returning?

Portal allows for 3d spotting and, honestly, it wasn't nearly as bad as I remember. I'm quite looking forward to seeing how this'll work in an official capacity

    I don't like the dorito-shooting of BF1/BF4/BF3.

    In general this game has way too much spotting, making spotting easier is not really a good thing.

    I hope they remove spot when shooting (or decreases time on minimap to ½ a second). BF1 didn't have audio spot and that worked fine.

    @cso7777 Bf1 had that interesting indicator that showed the quarter of the minimap that the shot sound came from

    @UP_HawxxeyeBF1 was much better, audio spot like in BF2042 (and BF4) makes us look more at the minimap, than at the rest of the screen. That is borderline stupid.

    Dice should work on better visibility, things like color of skins and maps could be adjusted and Frostbite has always had problems with lighting especially with looking in to or out of areas. Bad visibility results in bad gameplay and they have to introduce all kind of awful game mechanics to compensate (doritoes, red dots, minimap spotting etc etc).

    BF1 had one big advantage and that was the factions. They could control factions on each map and select combinations that didn't introduce too many issues, but with skins and 'realistic graphics' this is impossible.

    @UP_Hawxxeye I haven't play Battlefield 1 for long time. I only remember that being a thing in Battlefront. But that's a good idea. Still give you what's going on but not way too much.

    @cso7777 yeah I really like Battlefield 1 in term of identify enemy based on color of uniform

    but since customization become a thing and they need to sell skin to get some money (which better than selling the map in term of not splitting the player base), it kinda hard to do it. I'm not 100% happy that we need to rely on glowstick but still...ok imo
