Spot/Ping Separate Bindings Option

A great change made via 1.1.2.0 is the option to pull out your knife with the tap of a button instead of needing to hold the melee key.

An addition i thought would have been requested more than this is the option to have Spotting and Pinging as seperate keys. I may be mistaken, but i've looked all over the menus to find the option of seperating these commands to no avail.

There are so many times in which I am trying to spot an opponent, only to have a marker be placed in my face, because it made contact with the bush I'm peeking behind from.
Aswell as situations where I'm downed and trying to use Pings to notify allies, to which the button does not seem to work.

Having a seperate binding for spotting and pinging would solve this issue and make ping placement more understood and trusted. I've had friends head towards pings that i accidently placed while trying to spot someone beyond the point mark only to get shot by the guy i was trying to warn them of.

Also, as i've hinted at, sometimes pinging will interact with clutter and objects that one is trying to ping through, which is quite annoying.

  • Pings to notify allies of danger is a double tap of Q, you can delete your own pings, but not other player pings, imho all team pings should be set to fade after 15-20 seconds so the hud is not cluttered with pings people forget to or don't know they can delete.

  • If there IS an option to turn that BS off, somebody please let me know where to find it!

  • Somebody at EA needs to address this issue.... Tired of seeing red and green flags all over my screen while I'm trying to shoot an active combatant... Makes zero sense to me!  Let me turn that OFF!!

     

  • Wish I could disable the "danger/item/gadget ping" altogether, JUST have a spotting option, basically like BF4 was. I'm looking for enemy combatants, and could care less about "pinging" an ammo crate or whatever else the game decides it wants to "ping" when I hit the spot button.  I have a headset for anything else.
