Why bring back Audio Spotting?
First let's give a brief explanation of what it is for those that aren't aware. Audio spotting is the game mechanic through which your location appears on the minimap as soon as you fire a non-suppr...

@ashar_saleem121 I didn't find a Battlelog profile so I'm curious what was your first Battlefield game, BF1, BF5? It worked very well in BF3/4 which is why I like it.
Regarding your point about finding campers by audio queues BF5 and BF2042's audio is bad for audio queues so that's not really an option.

@ragnarok013 Also one more thing. I think you said it. The audio queues in the game are bad but that should be something that needs to be fixed, not use audio spotting as a fix for that.
Secondly, I just listened to the sniper shot sound without a suppressor and it doesnt sound loud and powerful at all. It sounds like someone sneezing. But it still puts you on the map.
That's the opposite of what should happen. If you ever listened to the sniper shot sound in BF1 on say Monte Grappa, the shot would ring out and you would hear a distinct echo that sounded so amazing.

Not everyone has good surround audio system or good headphones. That basically means that making audio very important for a casual game like BF a bad design choice. In earlier BFs you either use silencer and don't show on minimap or don't and you get better bullet velocity and less drop. Either can be good depending on the situation.
Shame they didn't bring back proper 3d spotting, that would be fantastic.
Imho.
Bring back the glory days of BF3/BF4 when people werent scared AF of not using a suppressor, werent scared AF of being spotted, and werent scared AF of getting killed!
One thing I did notice tonight though is that the enemy is nowhere near their dot on the mini map!
- @ilosuppilo But that's just it. Why would you get rid of 3D spotting then? Either keep them both or get rid of them both. The decision doesn't make any sense
