It’s not just a problem for campers but also flankers. Cant flank a large number of enimes and pick them off one by one when after the first kill they all turn towards your direction, and even if you relocate they swarm you.
In previous battlefield titles if you wanted to flank you would put a suppressor on your gun so you wouldn’t be seen on the mini map. And in BF1 there wasn’t any mini map pings at all unless you were actually spotted.
Since suppressors were not in place in ww2 they should just bring it back to how it was in bf1.
Its an unwanted feature. Especially when they didnt even tell us about it (I even mentioned it in a thread during early access and no one believed me forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/161430/how-are-people-spotted-on-the-minimap/p1 lol). Most of us died hundreds of times with a wtf look on our faces thinking how the hell did he know I’m here. After BF4 they specifically told us how removing this feature for BF1 release was going to improve gameplay (And it did) – did they forget selling us on it, or did they change their mind? It’s stupid.
Actually it pings your location once and does not move. If you kill someone and stay still then yes it has your exact position but if you kill someone and move strategically you can use it to your advantage against dot chasers. When i found out this was in the game I changed how I move now and it seems ro be perfect to trick people when they assume the red dot is a camper.
Dice should fix this bug ASAP! it is annoying, why would you get punished for getting a kill? If they want us to show up on minimap they should just make so everyone who fires a weapon show up on the minimap and bring back some kind of silencer to balance it out.
Interesting, I never noticed this. This may explain why I have been bombed by bombers in areas of the map that I should never have been seen by aircraft. I didnt make any make in game hackuzations, but I thought foreshore there were people using cheats. This explains it.
I don’t disagree. There are quite a few things they changed for BFV we can agree they need to be changed back to how they were in BF1, excluding ttk ofcourse. Lol
Exactly! It’s like they don’t look at the things that worked in previous titles. They just ‘fix’ things that aren’t broken. That screen let you know many times ‘im not spawning on that dude, he’s dead in 2 secs’ lol.
I’m mostly moving around when possible but there are game modes, like Frontlines, for example, where you are fighting over one small flag at a time and you don’t have the luxury of having anywhere else to go.
