@GoldenBoyXCM I kind of agree but at the end of the say it's more realistic not knowing when you have been spotted. If they did bring that in, then you should only be notified you have been spotted after say 5 seconds of being continually spotted because if you knew right away, it would be far too easy to avoid being killed.
@Nix6p I agree. People forget the whole role of a recon soldier is surveillance. NOT SNIPING!
The sniper rifles are for taking out other recon soldiers and that's it!
The Battlefield unlock system sends mixed messages, because to unlock weapons you need score, but playing as a team often doesn't involve getting high scores. For eg. I'll often play a whole round using the MAV just to help my team. As a result I get a low score. Noobs would take that low score as a cue to not use the MAV.
I love it. It encourages team play. And if you have been spotted! You'll know soon enough, just run and hide and lay low for a while. The only people who really complain about spotting are campers... (you know who you are!)
@BruceJBCpaintball yea,i think so too, i mean its like real life,somebody saw you and gave your position to the whole team to shoot at,it's just normal
What I see there is someone who knows about a TEAM BASED game, Know the role you are playing throw Med packs throw ammo down. I made my first Service Star and had Support unlocked in 4 days just by keeping ammo out in and Laying Down The Lead, in BF3. Yeah, you winners. got your wish with the 3 spot limited spot system in BF3. So what, those who KNOW how to play a SQUAD based game, and KNOW how and 'now' WHEN to spot in BF3 will rule
@RedArmorLabs then no body is using it O.o ..every single lets play or montage or what ever ....in those i ve seen ...no one marks enemys ..just trys to get the kill on his own :/ ..
when i play [unfortunately not bf 3 :( ...but bf 2142 :D] i mark every enemy i see ..even if its just for one sec ...
@MissMan666 i think that they could improve it , as said in the video, it should pop up for 2 or 3 sec and then dissappear ...but for fuck sake i just hate it to be killed in the back. to prevent my enemy from doing so, i mark every bad guy i see so that he cant sneak arround and kill me in this mf knife-kill animation ;)
So I'm getting BF3 for christmas. And I've heard that the good players that play as a team member use spotting. But I'm not quite sure what it is. I played the beta (On 360) so is the spot button select? And I've seen the red triangle but I didn't know what it meant. If they respawn does it go away?
@robby123ism , well 3d spotting is that if you stop an anemie there is a red triangle above there heads , in battellfield bad companie 2 you see it evrywhere in Battlefield 3 you only see the triangle if the not behind an object -> in your lign of sight
@LukRacer the same as in bc2 only that if (s)he is behind something or IN smoke the orange thingie is gone but when he pops up its back i hope it helps
No one bl**dy spots anyway lol. It's meant to promote team work so if your against, you pretty much saying you don't want to help your team out and if that's the case, **** off back to COD
the 3d spotting is to stop campers. and i think only recon should be able to spot because then they wouldn't just be useless bush wookies sitting way out of the objective.
how is it overpowered when everyone can spot? and this game would be garbage if you couldent spot because you would never find anyone because the maps are epicly huge
I think the 3D spotting should last for 4 or 5 seconds, 2D spotting for 9 or 10 seconds and to spot you should have to be aiming directly at the enemy who ISN'T in visual cover like smoke or vegetation. That you can use spotting to cooperate with your team but you can't use it just to check whether or not an enemy is somewhere on your screen.
Er... correct me if i am wrong but to have an advantage over someone is to have something they don't have.... BOTH sides have the spot feature so its perfectly fair. YOU can spot and THEY can spot.. there is no advantage in the pure meaning of the word..
If there were no spotting mechanic this game would be unplayable. It's no coincidence that the people that complain about it are the people that hide in bushes every match. So quit whining, quit hiding and enjoy the game.
@TheRealKillerTomato Campers are an integral part of the game. however you are correct, spotting balances it out. Good campers will keep themselves hidden. get your damn muzzle hider, dont let them find you. stay prone, stay in the bushes snipers, and you will make it. get spotted, and you better RUN. thats all i can say. stop Whining about integral features of the game.
i found the spotting pretty useful, it's better than having to get 3 kills in a row to be able to use a uav that you could have used at any moment (COD)
I play recon a lot and I admit that the spotting is completely retarded as I can snipe across the map and get head shots without seeing them at all through smoke...
I haven't noticed any 3D spotting in bf3 beta...maybe i just having been looking for it. I play on the PS3 and it gets pretty close in the subway so maybe I just don't see it.
I like the spotting tool. Whenever I shoot at someone and they run out of my sight. I quickly spot them so that my teammates can pin them down. It also helps helicopters by a TON.
Ya I saw the vid where they tweeked it... great job Dice and EA for the fast responce to what could have been a real bummer for the game... my hats off..
I think a few of the first battles on Beta are gonna be like a boxing match ..they will be feeling each other out with sniper fire for first game or 2.....lol
If it's in .. it should be only a team mate can spot for a sniper.. so it would take 2 to spot .... thats my opinion... maybe an addon for one of the loadouts is a spoter tool or something in that line or only a UAV can spot to a sniper.. Bottom line.. it should take 2 ..either UAV and sniper or team member and sniper to spot
@Zsavage1 They tweaked the 3d spotting to where the marker will only be visible if you physically see them. They are still marked on the mini map regardless.
I think that the triangle should go away when they go behind cover or become very hard to see, because realistically when you lose sight of someone, you don't know exactly where they are. The idea of spotting is a good tactical idea but should be tweaked in my opinion.
Spotting in bf:bc2 is actually quite unrealistic since it gives all enemies a realtime indicator of your position (even when moving) instead of directing them to your last spotted position. I think that if the little triangle would still appear but not move with you the whole system would be balanced out again again and a lot more realistic on top of that...
It takes away the skill of the game. A sniper should be able to hide in a bush without being seen with the cheat of 3D spotting. 3D spotting rewards run and gunning, and those players who want to flank, and play stealthy to outsmart the opponents are punished. Take out 3D spotting! If you are not good enough to take out some enemy flankers then you are a noob and should be playing a simpler game.
3D spotting is good, but maybe once the spotted player moves outside a specified radius from the initial spot then it disappears. Also, should only see the 'target' if the spotted player is visible to you, i.e. not if they are behind a shack. As others have said, if you don't want it then there should be the option to turn it off, or servers without it that you can join.
cool concept. but bf is more of a realistic game unlike cod. so in real life there would not be a red arrow above someones head. it should only give up the area our in. that is what i like about modern combat, yeah you guy hate snipers. but snipers really do sit on outskirts of maps or hiding in a bush. they are supposed to take targets out stealthy from a distance. so, not as bad is an assault guy hiding in the bushes spawn killing. so if anything maybe 2d or not at all.
the maps are designed around spotting. why do you think atacama desert is a fucking blinding dust storm. if you're spotted you can just sit behind a hill or wall until it's gone. it's part of the game; get good bro
its out tomorrow (supposedly) and i havnt recieved a key?? i purchased moh LE and got an email saying im on the vip list but no key? can someone PLEASE help me
@27thlegion well, the first time I saw hardcore was on BFBC2, and before that just like in BFBC2 in BF2 if you used the comrose then you could spot and press "M" and see a larger map of where the person was. then again, I only play hardcore from BFBC2 and on, well of course COD! :D I bet thats what you wanted to read. Yes hardcore from MW (i prefer pro mod.) MLG!
@crossmen20 I know right? More on topic I do have a problem with spotting but it's the opposite of what most people experience. Several times on BC2 I've had someone run into the open and for some reason I'm unable to spot that person yet I can spot a sniper hiding in thick brush from across the map? I hope the tweak they spoke of fixed the latter; you can only spot enemies you can see.
@TheScrewProductions Yeah that PSU will stop your GPU expansion. Your computer can still run BF3 (I guarantee at atleast medium settings) id say just way for BF3. If you have problems get a new GPU and PSU when you run BF3. It would not only make the game run faster (if it isn't already) but since you waited, faster graphics cards will be your reward.

Spotting should work like you just said, with couple of seconds of "on screen" time. It could be prolonged for the duration you actually see the target. But if you lose the sight of the enemy the red triangle disappears. But just cutting the time shorter is actually a lot easier to do. They could put several spotting variables on servers to choose. Like prolonged spotting time, then the shortened, and the full out hard-core. Then people could choose according to their preferences.
@Firense I'd really want to see the balanced out version. Hardcore is unrealistic in a way that you can not tell your teammates that they are about to get 12-gauge on their a**, if you are to spot the enemy before rest of the squad.
u need 3d spotting because it helps stop snipers from camping the whole game especially now thats theres prone. though the kill cam does help, but often u cant tell one patch of grass/bush from the other since alot of them are the same. I like MacDaddyXlll's solution since its realistic. u can probably also have the kill cam make the persons location more obvious, then eliminate 3d spotting altogether though i wouldn't like to see that happen
I think 3d spotting is the worst feature I've seen brought to an fps. 2d spotting is where it's at. And this comes from someone who abuses spotting to its full advantage in BC2.
Who needs aimbots when you have this sort of thing?
Spotting is stupid. Its not teamwork. its a tool for encouraging camping. If u like it. U R ONE OF THE CAMPERS. 2D spotting is the only fair way to play.
Its a realistic aspect when you spot, creates teamplay and people who moan at it obviously get pissed at it as theyre getting hit alot - well don't run and gun if you can't take the deaths. Its more tactical than COD. 3D spotting is amazing - yeah I agree with someone elses post, only have it where you actually spotted them as opposed to following them especially if they then go out of sight... either way. Its not hacking, its a feature everyone can use against each other.
matimio`s idea works best in my opinion, and maybe even the could make the 3D spot go away IMMEDIATELY when the enemy gets out of the line of sight. =]
It has just been confirmed. 3D spotting only works when you are LOS of the target. So if someone on your team spots an enemy you will not be able to see the mark until you are LOS of target.
IE, if you are behind a rock you will not see any 3D marks.
Don't lose faith in DICE, they know what they are doing and dont forget it is still in Beta!!!
I like spotting for one reason, it helps stop 'them sniper folk' you know the ones, that get into places that are hard as feck to find, if you spot him, you tell your mate...
But what I would say is it could be a bit more general, not a super accurate marker, after all, someone on a radio would not be able to give you a specific location in one sentance! (unless its like 'Under the statue!!')
If it was on the mini map and im in a jet I have to take my eyes off the big screen and look at a tiny mini map trying to figure out where the enemy might be while also haveing to look around for enemy jets rockets rpgs sams etc it's stupid why force all my attention onto that small map when im flying it will make dropping payloads overly difficult and rarely get substantial kills unless you fly close to the ground risking rpg fire and being very unrealistic.
they are and make a judgement but not to long there a sitting duck and if they move it turns red within that 10 seconds anyway a sniper should move anyways I hate when a sniper camps and I know where he is but can't explane to my teamates because "He's in the bush on the right side of the hill" isent that easy to find in a map full of hills and bushes.
Oh and make it 2D but not on the mini map make it last about 10 seconds change the color if you want idc make it purple when there within 10 feet idc then it also simulates if you were spotting a sniper but was running in the hills maybe and a chopper gunner could take out the sniper etc they get the general idea where they are if they are still around it and if it only lasts 10 seconds thats enough time to see where
I think it should mark the spot of the person green when there still within 15 feet of the aria yellow when there 30 and red when there over 35-40 then go away but not follow them lets be hounest we need something like spotting especially since they have jets back now I was a great piolet in battlefield Vietnam it was hard as shit to drop ordanance where they needed to go tho so in bf3 I hope they figure a good way out so I can still blow some shit up without my bombs going to waste.

It takes away the skill of the game. A sniper should be able to hide in a bush without being seen with the cheat of 3D spotting. 3D spotting rewards run and gunning, and those players who want to flank, and play stealthy to outsmart the opponents are punished. Take out 3D spotting! If you are not good enough to take out some enemy flankers then you are a noob and should be playing a simpler game.

3D spotting is good, but maybe once the spotted player moves outside a specified radius from the initial spot then it disappears. Also, should only see the 'target' if the spotted player is visible to you, i.e. not if they are behind a shack. As others have said, if you don't want it then there should be the option to turn it off, or servers without it that you can join.

Spotting is needed, but overpowered. Just tone it down and if you want it off join a server with it off or go hardcore.

cool concept. but bf is more of a realistic game unlike cod. so in real life there would not be a red arrow above someones head. it should only give up the area our in. that is what i like about modern combat, yeah you guy hate snipers. but snipers really do sit on outskirts of maps or hiding in a bush. they are supposed to take targets out stealthy from a distance. so, not as bad is an assault guy hiding in the bushes spawn killing. so if anything maybe 2d or not at all.

the maps are designed around spotting. why do you think atacama desert is a fucking blinding dust storm. if you're spotted you can just sit behind a hill or wall until it's gone. it's part of the game; get good bro

@27thlegion well, the first time I saw hardcore was on BFBC2, and before that just like in BFBC2 in BF2 if you used the comrose then you could spot and press "M" and see a larger map of where the person was. then again, I only play hardcore from BFBC2 and on, well of course COD! :D I bet thats what you wanted to read. Yes hardcore from MW (i prefer pro mod.) MLG!

@crossmen20 I know right? More on topic I do have a problem with spotting but it's the opposite of what most people experience. Several times on BC2 I've had someone run into the open and for some reason I'm unable to spot that person yet I can spot a sniper hiding in thick brush from across the map? I hope the tweak they spoke of fixed the latter; you can only spot enemies you can see.

@TheScrewProductions Yeah that PSU will stop your GPU expansion. Your computer can still run BF3 (I guarantee at atleast medium settings) id say just way for BF3. If you have problems get a new GPU and PSU when you run BF3. It would not only make the game run faster (if it isn't already) but since you waited, faster graphics cards will be your reward.

MultiSlawa 6 months ago
Spotting should work like you just said, with couple of seconds of "on screen" time. It could be prolonged for the duration you actually see the target. But if you lose the sight of the enemy the red triangle disappears. But just cutting the time shorter is actually a lot easier to do. They could put several spotting variables on servers to choose. Like prolonged spotting time, then the shortened, and the full out hard-core. Then people could choose according to their preferences.
Firense 6 months ago
@Firense I'd really want to see the balanced out version. Hardcore is unrealistic in a way that you can not tell your teammates that they are about to get 12-gauge on their a**, if you are to spot the enemy before rest of the squad.

2d spotting or dumbed down 3d spotting would be good
honki3MAN 6 months ago
u need 3d spotting because it helps stop snipers from camping the whole game especially now thats theres prone. though the kill cam does help, but often u cant tell one patch of grass/bush from the other since alot of them are the same. I like MacDaddyXlll's solution since its realistic. u can probably also have the kill cam make the persons location more obvious, then eliminate 3d spotting altogether though i wouldn't like to see that happen
truehate101 6 months ago
I think 3d spotting is the worst feature I've seen brought to an fps. 2d spotting is where it's at. And this comes from someone who abuses spotting to its full advantage in BC2.
Who needs aimbots when you have this sort of thing?

Spotting is stupid. Its not teamwork. its a tool for encouraging camping. If u like it. U R ONE OF THE CAMPERS. 2D spotting is the only fair way to play.
Braverie 6 months ago
Its a realistic aspect when you spot, creates teamplay and people who moan at it obviously get pissed at it as theyre getting hit alot - well don't run and gun if you can't take the deaths. Its more tactical than COD. 3D spotting is amazing - yeah I agree with someone elses post, only have it where you actually spotted them as opposed to following them especially if they then go out of sight... either way. Its not hacking, its a feature everyone can use against each other.

grizzlybeargrayson 6 months ago
It has just been confirmed. 3D spotting only works when you are LOS of the target. So if someone on your team spots an enemy you will not be able to see the mark until you are LOS of target.
IE, if you are behind a rock you will not see any 3D marks.
Don't lose faith in DICE, they know what they are doing and dont forget it is still in Beta!!!

I like spotting for one reason, it helps stop 'them sniper folk' you know the ones, that get into places that are hard as feck to find, if you spot him, you tell your mate...
But what I would say is it could be a bit more general, not a super accurate marker, after all, someone on a radio would not be able to give you a specific location in one sentance! (unless its like 'Under the statue!!')
madmikefalkirk 6 months ago
first spotting is not overpowered when its on every class and its no different between teams.
second if its 2d then people who dont look at mini map which is 50% of the people i end up playing with.
third if it was 2d how could you see someone who was spotted who is far away from you...like sniper.
fourth spotting is one of the few things a sniper can do to support their team.
fifth if you have people who wont listen to what you say you need someone way of informing...a squad is flanking
ppp9922 6 months ago
If it was on the mini map and im in a jet I have to take my eyes off the big screen and look at a tiny mini map trying to figure out where the enemy might be while also haveing to look around for enemy jets rockets rpgs sams etc it's stupid why force all my attention onto that small map when im flying it will make dropping payloads overly difficult and rarely get substantial kills unless you fly close to the ground risking rpg fire and being very unrealistic.
GUNS4MIKE1234 6 months ago
they are and make a judgement but not to long there a sitting duck and if they move it turns red within that 10 seconds anyway a sniper should move anyways I hate when a sniper camps and I know where he is but can't explane to my teamates because "He's in the bush on the right side of the hill" isent that easy to find in a map full of hills and bushes.
GUNS4MIKE1234 6 months ago
Oh and make it 2D but not on the mini map make it last about 10 seconds change the color if you want idc make it purple when there within 10 feet idc then it also simulates if you were spotting a sniper but was running in the hills maybe and a chopper gunner could take out the sniper etc they get the general idea where they are if they are still around it and if it only lasts 10 seconds thats enough time to see where
GUNS4MIKE1234 6 months ago
I think it should mark the spot of the person green when there still within 15 feet of the aria yellow when there 30 and red when there over 35-40 then go away but not follow them lets be hounest we need something like spotting especially since they have jets back now I was a great piolet in battlefield Vietnam it was hard as shit to drop ordanance where they needed to go tho so in bf3 I hope they figure a good way out so I can still blow some shit up without my bombs going to waste.
