NO 3D-spotting!
NO 3D-spotting! That is all, just get rid of 3D-spotting completely. The worst thing from BF3 / BF4 times were the gun attachments that autospott enemy players. Battlefield 5 did a good first step a...

Keep 3d spotting games are getting harder to see players. BFV proves that.
With a potential of 128 players on a server it near Impossible to tell a team mate where enemies are.
It always the same,
-a group want glint on sniper scopes so they can see the enemy while complaining about 3d spotting.
- people complain about spotting while saying scout/recon is not doing their job.
It is funny when people talk of weakening Medic role(squad revive) yet say nothing about weakening if Recon.
3D spotting ruins the game and stops realistic strategies. Manoeuvre around the flanks of enemies so teammates can spawn on you. NO the enemy know exactly where you are due to 3D spotting like BF1.
There should be NO spotting unless through gadgets.
- @BlueCelticPagan If you have this problem every time, you're doing it wrong.
3D spotting is for snowflakes and noobies.
- @BlueCelticPagan You're funny 😂🤣😂

Realistic strategies? In Battlefield 1 the 3D spotting will turn off when the spotted player goes behind cover and breaks the line of sight. So 3D spotting did not hurt flanking attempts in that game. Also in Battlefield 1 because people complained about 3D spotting so much the developers added a cool down that made using it so inconsistent to where pressing the button to spot became a frustrating experience.
3D spotting is one more thing in this community that has been exaggerated into being this terrible feature. When in reality with just like most of the helpful tools in this series players don't even take advantage of it.
- @Skill4Reel One of the issues with spotting is vehicles. You fly around in a plane, move "large distances" pretty quick and then shoots at red dots/doritos on the screen. This makes helis/planes totally awful for infantry, which has no chance against this.
Also shooting doritos is stupid, we have to shoot at enemy players. Dice has cluttered the maps and made the visibility so bad (since BF4 at least), that the only solution is apparantly to put doritos on enemies...
But BF1 is way better than BF4/BF3 though.
I still think they should make a functioning ping-system (unlike the one in BFV). Other games makes this work fine (Apex legends).

You would think that on a map like Dawnbreaker where people on rooftops were getting killed by air vehicles so much that it would encourage them to get on the ground where the objectives were and fight to control them, but this was not the case.
I can not agree that 3D spotting has been a detriment to this series. Sure many people don't like it, but the different Battlefield games so far have proven that whether 3D spotting is there or not that it hasn't affected how people play the game at all. As the same complaints about lack of teamwork, balance issues, camping, and now visibility in a game where 3D spotting as not present continue to be there.
Edit: Also I am curious why DICE implemented 3D spotting into this series from the beginning. If they have said why in the past. Then someone please refresh my memory. I am just curious what the original reason was for 3D spotting being in Battlefield. Maybe a developer can answer this question.
Maybe controversial here in a thread titled "NO 3D-spotting", but hey, let me dare my skin and defend the feature as I truly hope it will return to the next Battlefield!
When EA launched Battlefield V, it was intentionally to be 'different'... No problem with such game and approach. The 3D spotting function had been removed very intentionally. Some players here appear to like it like that. But as with all changes, some players do not. I for one, truly miss the 3D spotting function, especially for the many many very good things it actually brought to the older BF games!
The enablement of great teamplay and collaboration, increased game pace, accessibility, target acquisition, clear combat, vehicle involvement and collaboration with infantry/other soldier units... I found it a key feature in Battlefield and I for one missed it badly in BFV. Not the only reason, but an important factor, so much that I reverted back and now will remain and enjoy the BF4 gameplay until we hopefully will see the feature back in the next Battlefield game!
I really hate the 3d spotting, I can live with 3d spotting for vehicles but plz no 3d spotting for infantry. 2d spotting is enough, every time I kill somebody just because of the 3d spotting it feels like I am cheating.
