"Death spotting" is a real thing. Confirmed by DICE.

You remove that feature and camping will go up, just saying it is not always as simple as just getting rid of something.

Im not so sure, This mostly punishing moving players ie players that flank etc.
A better implementation would in that case be that if you stay stationary or only are in one small area for a long period of time then a small ping of your approximate location would pop up on the mini map for a brief amount of time.

That’s the thing though. If you get a kill this pings your location that you got the kill from on the 2D map for 5 seconds. It doesn’t ping you or follow you like people think.

So if you received flanking correctly it can actually help you against alert enemies who see the dot but you’ve already moved and flanked again.

What it really punishes is campers who stay after getting a kill (granted not everyone that stays still after a kill is a camper; could have stopped to reload, take cover or regen health etc) but that’s who is impacts more so I find it interesting when people scream bloody murder about it.

Plus we already have a thread on this;

** (HotFix incoming) You are spotted for 5 seconds when you get a kill
