I am one of people that do not want the spotting system in the Battlefield franchise. I hoped the spotting to be removed in Battlefield 1. But, DICE decided to implement again. This is about alpha stage, so it could be removed on the final product, but it is most unlikely. It just ruins the game. Now, you get distinct looking soldiers on each faction and vehicles are looking completely different from each other. We do not need 3D spotting appearing on the enemy’s head. It makes game too easier. Also, icons on allies should be removed. I do not want a game with a bunch of icon floating on the screen. Yes, the icons show the class of your allies, but you can specify them by their outfit. There is no need for spotting and icons on the screen in Battlefield 1. These are unnecessary features. ---

I am very sure that you **DO NOT** want to have a **GIANT RED DORIO** floating above your head to **POINT YOU OUT** to the enemy tank that is about to **BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT**. Is that what you want? ---

Wow.. that was an easy solution right? ---
