Passive (AUTO) spotting need to go COMPLETELY from this game.

It's not that different then giving the snipers the glint, But I hear you.

How would you feel if instead of the entire team being able to see doritos, only allies near the that specific sniper can see what he sees. Otherwise auto spot won't be shared and you'll have to rely on painting enemies and ground marker to know where enemies are (roughly)

They can also try to only share the dorito vision with your squad, that way if your squad doesn't have a recon class, they lose out on the dorito vision. Either way it doesn't make pinning obsolete cause the way it is right now, I'm questioning if I should keep my pinging button

Honestly this is 1 of the reasons stealth is mostly dead  also the Circle u get when u are shot at is the other reason these additions just ruin a tactic that to this day was pretty usefull and now once someone just looks in ur general direction in a what it feels like 30 degree cone gets spotted its not fun at all

I feel if they wanna test this out, I am all for it, But if so start up a test server.

I think they should just go back to how recons worked in BFBC2. Give em a recon ball (grenade) they can throw that ping the area for a coupl of seconds (and that can be destroyed if found ofc)..

Otherwize, when ppl see someone and press "Q" it should show up to everyone in the team (ON THE MAP ONLY).
And ONLY as long as said person have a line of sight to said target.

THE ONLY people that should see the dorrito (as we do now) are the ppl looking the same way as the "spotter". 
That means SNIPERS will have a good team role beeing far away and spotting anything they see while people are pushing up, Knowing that as long as he see someone and have a clear line of sight, You have a slight idea of where at least some ppl are. 

So not to sound like a broken record: You need to have a line of sight to  your spotted target and as soon as you do the whole team can see where he is ( ON THE MAP) NOT through walls etc....its nothing thats in the game now, just saying) and to everyone that looking the same direction as you and are somewhat around you, can see the dorrito also (on screen, not only on the map). 

But as soon as he move in behind cover everyone lose sight, The dorrito should be gone on the map together with anyone with a line of sight towards your target. Because at this point, You need to move, Find him again: Press Q and he is spotted again. 

If that is un-fair / Make him show up on the map 1-2 sec even after said spotter is either dead or loose track to give a slight "idea" of what direction hewent. Its a game afterall. 

But what ever you do, You need to delete the "passive" spotting we have now. At least force us to press "Q" to spot. If anything. 

I agree. They are trying to make everything into an ability (rewards lazy players) and I'm okay with some things doing so like the motion sensor which has a limited range and you have to physically go where you want to set them but others not so much like auto spotting and glint, it takes away from actually learning to play the game, the use of tactics, and experience.

Yeah they should have to manually press q like everyone else.

I agree, its an awful, game breaking mechanic.

All the power ups are horrible and dont belong here.

Agree ! Spotting mechanic is way broken, makes you spot everyone in less than a second and everyone can see the spotted guys behind covers. It's completely eliminating the sneaking/flanking, making people shoot through smokes and even walls.

Auto spotting can work but it definitely needs changes. Instead of your entire team seeing what they see make it so that only those near them can (that would encourage team play) if you are sitting on the back, then you are not contributing to the team. It also keeps the pinging button relevant.

I could have sworn smoke blinds auto spot (it should) but sometimes it doesn't seem to do that. not sure if thats a glitch, but if it isn't they need to fix that

They have been testing this since BF4 where you could already put a target finder on pretty much any weapon. There is just no point at also having to click Q at an enemy you're already shooting at. Maybe it needs fine-tuning.
