I know not all of you are on the Open Beta yet, but as a whole v.5 and v.6 consensus I would like to poll you on this.
In game, you remember the vanilla bf2 experience of something being spotted every second. Well it gets like that in Kashan and other maps where people spot everything....
In your opinion what do you think about it?

Sometimes its useful, if i am a sniper or pilot anything like that. Sometimes spot a tank i can go jihad it. However spotting random boats and AA vehicles get annoying. I have a teqnique not everyone knows but i spot boats for rallys

Now listening to: Eggman coding his *** off.
Oh, I love this one...
Well, I went back to a bit of Vanilla, and turned my sound off because all I could hear was "enemy forces spotted" being repeated before the one before it finished.
But, PR, it's less, just the kind of players PR attracts don't bring spot spamming.

It's not too bad, most of the time it's because you're trying to spot something but it won't recognise it as that object (apc, tank etc) so it'll just be a pain in the *** and just say 'enemy units on the move'.
Actually why is that? When you have your sights on an enemy vehicle etc, (even within decent range) and it doesn't recognise it?

Or anything for that matter. The target was bigger than the open sights on my rifle and I couldn't get a clear "THIS THING IS SPOTTED" for my life, and yes, it was active. It shot me moments after I tried to spot it.
Speaking of bad spotting calls, why don't Team locked vehicles trigger a spotting message? Shouldn't they count as enemies and there fore pop up on minimap and such, despite it being empty.
Really, this only applies to APCs being used as spawn points, but it would be nice for the rest of the things.

A lot of the time, your "spot" hits a tree or something on the way there. Usually if you try spotting way above the target, you'll get it.

Oh believe me I've tried that, sometimes it's just not having it.

"Enemy spotted" would be nice if it got constricted to "squadchatter". I know, the answere is either "hardcoded" or "do it yourself if you like it so much".

I'd like it if you can only hear stuff the guy next to you is saying stuff and in a voice, not radio.

In real life a squad can not hit a button and see red dots everywhere spotting the enermy. We should be relying on Team chat team communication discribe in detail direction and location only. the more real the better.
I feel theres still a rush to move in quick and fight. IN real life i think caution is the process. I think all of it should be removed. and ONLY THE COMPASS HIGH LIGHTED MORE DETAIL. and maybe more of a MAP OPTION some different map with details ..... for REFERENCING.
