I think what zombie said could be a good middle ground. Personally wouldn’t mind seeing no spotting at all, communicate with your teammates with a headset to let them know if you saw someone.
since they didnt have Doritos back then maybe the players will be shaped as saltines…lol
3D Spotting is okay but not how it’s working as it is now in BF4, just take some ideas from BNS

HC is even worse, it was only LMG and sniper campers last time I played it
Depends on the server and the map I suppose. I see wookies sure but it isn’t a very large majority. Honestly I see more DMR’s than anything else.
I’d hope to at least see 3D spotting be limited for air units. Maybe infantry wouldn’t be shown for pilots, but tanks and other air units would still be marked. I always thought 3D spotting ruined the balance between air units and infantry.
I wouldn’t mind to see it be removed completely, though. I thought it worked in Bad Company, but the pilots in BF3 made me feel a lot more sour about the system. It also diminishes the fun of ranged gunplay for me, since I always end up relying on it. I’ve long since gotten into the habit of “spotting” nothing to find enemies.

Doubtful. There’d be a lot of bans based on chat comments. "Shoot the ".
edit … that’s a very very strict filter we got on here.
If 3D spotting is allowed in BF1 which it should not they should make the enemy show up ONLY on the minimap and not have a dorito or what ever to show you where they are through normal view to make it more realistic but they could have a class to make it to where they can see them with normal view with a helmet or something but personally I don’t think that would workout it’s not realistic.
lol, what? You can’t say a delicious snack food? I guess we can just say brands. Saltines, Ritz, etc.
I added the edit, and then it showed. /shrug
The doritos need to stay purely because it is an effective visual communication tools. Not everyone is in game chat. Not everyone speaks the same language therefore it is a quick way of letting your team mates know where you have spotted the enemy.

It’s a crutch.
I bet the people saying get rid of this are campers that want to sit in one spot the whole entire time. Just relax its a damn video game

Set in a time period that didn’t have the capable technology. Regardless campers are going to be campers. They still camp in BF2/3/4.
Then the game better not have kill cams or stats because they didn’t have that either
Lol, those are UI/Analytic elements. Kill cams are stupid regardless.
Mentioning kill-cams… I really hope they are shorter and a lot different from what they are right now in Battlefield 4.
I’d enjoy seeing kill-cams similar to Call of Duty/Crysis, especially if the camera follows certain objects such as rockets and long ranged bullets. Not much of a fan of highlighting the player that killed me. I think it’s more interesting to know how he killed me rather than what he did after-the-fact.
Let’s do away with the mini map too. I don’t think they could see a map in the bottom left hand corner of their eyes

This bothers me so, SO much. No matter how much they try to fix spotting, this will always remain a viable tactic, and it is so freakin irritating to just keep mashing on the spot button every two-three seconds to find enemies.
But Zombie’s suggestion seems like a good compromise if it comes to it. I would also add that the player who issues the spotting should not be able to see doritos that they marked themselves, and that doritos should leave the HUD much sooner.
3d spotting is not a “staple”. It is a crutch for . Bf1942, Bf2, Bf2142, Bf vietnam etc did NOT have this noob feature and it has not place. It eliminated any stealth play at all and I hope it is gone forever.
