The Overuse of Spotting and Pings Has Ruined Stealth and Tactical Gameplay

I wanted to share feedback about how the constant spotting, pinging, and radar visibility are ruining Battlefield’s tactical gameplay. There are just too many ways to be spotted. Shooting an unsuppressed weapon reveals your position on the minimap, suppressors only reduce detection range, snipers auto spot players when aiming, teammates can manually ping, and UAV drones reveal everyone across the map.

Because of this, you are almost always visible. Flanking, ambushing, and stealthy gameplay are nearly impossible. Even when you take out an enemy from a good position, their teammates immediately know where you are. The game relies far too much on artificial spotting systems instead of letting players use their own awareness, hearing gunfire, or spotting enemies naturally.

I am not asking for a milsim, but the game needs to be more grounded. Short realistic indicators, like a brief red dot on the compass when firing, would be fine. The constant pings, auto spots, and UAV sweeps are distracting and take away from what makes Battlefield fun. Please consider reducing some of these mechanics so players can rely more on skill and awareness, making the game more tactical and rewarding.
