Spotting mechanics and movement problems.
Spotting: For starters, the spotting system is not like previous games, unlike bf1 or bf4, in bf6 you just need to be looking at an enemy for 1 to 2 seconds, and then they have a red icon above their...

I found the spotting to be quite annoying as it doesn't positively affirm your spot. Sure I can see the red dot but I'm not entirely sure what it means.
For example. Is the person only spotted whilst I'm looking at them? Or does it go away once they are out of view?
I kinda like the look only mechanic, but it needs to feel like I've confirmed the spot in some way.
I think this addresses the spot spamming issue. So I'm totally down for new ways in which spotting alleviates that. I was thinking that a better solution maybe get be to use a heat map style effect. Such that combined spots from everyone contribute to a hot area on the mini map. That cools down.
So if I spot a squad of enemy players it lights up my position. They could also make the heat mechanic indicate rough direction of travel as well (i.e a couple of meters from the spot) the heat map contribution fades away.
So it would be less this is exactly where a person is on the map and more, this is the last reported sighting.
yea i argee with your suggestion, as of right now, when you are spotted on the map, you are visible to the whole team for an X amount of time (same applies to the red dot above your head), I think it's a few seconds, but you are getting spotted all the time due to everyone quickly glancing in your direction. I think the auto spot is cool, I just think only some classes i.e sniper should be capable of doing it.
