This bug/feature was dumb for sure, but anyone think that spotting via other means were not working properly (suppression ect).
Since the update I have noticed much more 3d spotting then before
I don’t think it’s fixed.
They haven’t announced the date yet for the hotfix.. the tweet on the last page says within ‘the next few days’.
So can someone tell me exactly the ways to get spotted on the minimap after this hotfix? If am 3D spotted am also spotted on minimap?
How long is 3D spotting and does it disappear completely if I get behind cover? Thanks
In your heart you know it’s flat.
I saw something about a patch on Tuesday.
Yes please remove this spotting mechanic!
Saw it too on Battlefield Bulletin I think. Not sure if that is the hotfix or something else.
I know I’m definitely in the minority, but I think there has to be some semblance of spotting in a game like this where enemy visibility is almost nonexistent.
Today when I loaded up game on PS4 it had a update in the menu.
Thank for that.
This must explain how everyone always seems to know exactly where i am without any due reason.
I just thought everyone was ESPing, because everyone cheats, like literally everyone, you kill me, you are aimbotting.
As much as I hate campers, I’m so relieved this will be removed.
That’s one source of frustration fixed.
Now. For the other 1000?..
I had an update on Xbox today, not sure if it was for this?
A downloadable update or a UI update?
Probabky only the UI update for the Practice Range poster on startup. Same on Xbox.
Basically, Recons
Any damage they do to you, you’re 2d spotted, flares and binos, 3d spotted, and everyone else, 3d spot when they get you on 100% suppression
I think one reason is the VGO
it suppresses soooo fast…
The next big think i hope they fix are the footstep sounds. With this and the minimap spot fix my kdr wil increase by at least 1.0 for sure
Fix is confirmed coming on Tuesday. So less than 48 hours. We won’t have to suffer through death spotting during the holidays.
It’s the hyperbole that gets me–It destroys the game!–well no, it doesn’t, it’s just another annoyance for some players and apparently they’re going to change it anyway. And actually I don’t like it and* legitimate reasons* are not interchangeable terms especially when so many of you ignore every point you disagree with. None of you knows why this is in the game, whether it’s a bug or they put it in on purpose, and none of you knows how often you were spotted by a Recon’s spotting scope or your own tracers etc., and those of you in games with players using VOIP don’t know if the guy you killed dropped a dime on you, nor do you know how many players even keep an eye on the minimap (in some games it seems like my teammates ignore it totally). You’re making assumptions based on your likes and dislikes and ignoring whatever doesn’t support what you want to believe (like the spot doesn’t follow you as you move). Your personal anecdotes are also no more meaningful than those which discount your claim, e.g. I sat in a stone tower on Hamada a few days ago and got eleven kills without moving, why didn’t those eleven spots result in my death? At my age I’m not going to win many twitch-shooting fights, so there’s nothing I like more than flanking the other team and taking some snipers tags, but this overblown display of paranoia mingled with arrogance is not something I’m going to join even though this mechanic presumably hurts my play style. Until it’s gone I’ll make a point of moving after every kill if possible, some of you will prefer to tear your hair and wail at the unfairness of it all, so be it.
